The Dumb Ages

From the Department of Information

The main theme of this week’s episode is OVER-REACH with stories about coppers, the local council and a Scottish university punishing people for completely innocuous things. Along the way, Jack and I discuss a win for Linzi Smith, Magpies fan, the dangerous wibblings of Dr Helen Webberley, the cancellation of a screening of a documentary about free speech (yes, really) and the usual swears and chu...

…People say, "Believe half of what you see Son, and none of what you hear"… And if you heard it through the BBC grapevine, you can no longer trust it! More shenanigans and nonsense from Auntie Beeb, alas, PLUS good news for free speech, good news for the homos, good news for female Olympians but for crusty ‘80s relics and omnicause-supporting North London types, it’s a case of “It’s Your...

It’s been quite the week: an horrific stabbing attack on the Doncaster to London train, antisemitic mobs on the rampage in Birmingham, the BBC exposed for being “economic avec la verite”, gender cultists launching paperwork-warfare against the EHRC and David Lammy exploding in the House of Commons. As a result, we’ve got a big, long one for you this week. Good job Jack and I have extensive experie...

Phase 2 of government: delivery. Interim report for your immediate attention. The Democratic People’s Republic of Starmerstan exceeds quota of incompetence for fifteenth month running. Electoral losses and poor polling production remain stable. Failure rates continuing to stabilise. Dear Leader commences “Digital ID: Resistance Is Futile” tour. It’s all going extremely well. You are strongly advis...

Carbon points on sandwiches? Jews banned from Birmingham? Gen Z rejecting genderism (maybe)? PLUS all the usual swears and giggling.

Brownshirts on parade, undeterred by peace breaking out. Pale stale male blames other pale stale males for all the bad things. Blasphemy laws defeated in key appeal. Big Wes is watching your weight.

DO look back in anger, we’re already divided, no more hollow words and empty promises. Jack and I talk about the atrocity in Manchester on Yom Kippur.

Dear Leader recognises the State of Narnia, a man gets his collar felt for being untoward about Hamas, a Swede gets fired from her own flotilla, another man’s indefinite suspension turns out to last five days, Britcards are to be issued to all working droids in the Democratic People’s Republic of Starmerstan and a controversial Instagram personality gets told off by the Stasi. It’s all going on! I...

Updates on stories we covered last week: Charlie Kirk’s assassination and Mandygate PLUS WhatsApp banter is bad for your career, how a party falls apart before it’s even started, the Starmerstan Stasi pay a visit to a woman who’s just not taking it lying down AND antisemites ruin Eurovision.

A young man gets shot in Utah; a young woman gets stabbed in North Carolina. The reverberations go global. Is this a turning point? Here in the UK, to lose a Deputy Prime Minister may be regarded as a misfortune; to then lose a US Ambassador looks like carelessness. Starmer’s phase 2 hits the skids…again. Plus, Greta’s flotilla to deliver "aid" to Gaza is desperate for more attention. If...

Now is the autumn of our discontent as rumblings occur in the upper echelons of the Democratic People’s Republic of Starmerstan, illiberal measures flounder, Graham Linehan feels the boot of authoritarianism on his neck and insane minority parties start to tear themselves apart – how did THAT happen. Warning: may contain swears and boob jokes (you’ll see the relevance) If you’re listening on Wedne...

It’s the last week of our Summer of Censorship tour of the People’s Democratic Republic of Starmerstan, possibly to be renamed Raynerstan, with a brief stopover in Turtle Island.

This week, it’s just me reporting from the Democratic Republic of Starmerstan because Jack had a bad kebab and is off sick.
