Toby is on the road doing his “footie reporter” thing and after a quick tour of the north country, he and James widen their scope to take in the draconian measures elsewhere in the Commonwealth, namely that of Dan Andrews, the Premier of Victoria and Jacinda Ardern, the PM of New Zealand. Of course they turn their sights to the unfolding disaster that is the fall of Afghanistan back into the hands of Taliban. In a prologue to Culture Corner we look at the irony of the attempted cancellation of Scottish poet Kate Clanchy and the Orwellian capitulation of the Orwell Foundation. James has started in on HBO’s White Lotus and quite enjoyed it until… well, you’ll find out, and Toby laments the bad turn that Ted Lasso (AppleTV) has taken in Season 2, but he does give a thumbs up to the Netflix movie Beckett.
