Summary

Our beautiful son Riley is still in New York, a city famous for being ‘alright’ if you ‘like’ ‘saxophones.’ In the interim, Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice are here to hold down the fort. We’ve uncovered a startup that wants to scan your licence place and use it to order McDonalds. We’ve read an op-ed encouraging the securitisation of water scarcity. We’ve blanched upon contact with a James Dellingpole op-ed about his daughter’s ‘virginal beauty’ (not making this up) as she goes on holiday to Magaluf. There’s also a discussion of a very ribald binder. Enjoy! If you like this show, sign up to the Patreon and get a second free episode each week!

0:00.0	Sad news today in the trash future basement, um, that our petition to replace a statue of
0:07.1	Winston Churchill with Eva Zero One, the purple robot from Evangelion.
0:13.6	And I know that there's people right now who are mad that I called it a robot.
0:16.4	It's not a robot.
0:17.0	It's more of a, uh, it's so much more than a robot.
0:20.4	It is so much more than a robot, actually. It's kind of a... It's so much more than a robot. It is so much more than a robot, actually.
0:21.6	It's kind of a mixture of, you know,
0:24.6	sentient ancient beings that are just enhanced by Mecca.
0:30.6	It represents so much more...
0:31.6	Like most of the columnists at the spectator.
0:33.6	I feel like we, you know, when I set this petition up, I felt that we were a country that was too

0:55.3	outcome is there that we can be then part of a giant apocalyptic machine. And that's
1:01.7	where I felt that the statue of Churchill had to be replaced with an Evangelion anyway.
1:06.2	You should have pitched it as an Evangelion manufactured by Dyson.
1:09.8	What I did say was I was willing to compromise in that if we were to build the
1:16.3	Evangelion on Parliament Square, we would also put a giant poppy on its press play to honour
1:24.1	the fallen, our boys, our soldiers, our troops.
1:30.8	Anyway, I get this email today from Petitions at Parliament.uk, which is the official like, you know, they're the ones who decide
