Now, where were we?Oh, yes. Time to catch up with old (and we mean old!) friends. Toby has a health scare and James is having more than a few regrets about missed opportunities and the loss of weekly get togethers.But, of course, if there was always one thing we all could agree one it was good books and criticising the telly. This month we take on the BBC's self examination in The Reckoning which has Steve Coogan playing disgraced BBC presenter and notorious pedophile Jimmy Savile, Isaac Asimov's Foundation (AppleTV), One Piece (Netflix) and The Boys spinoff, Gen V (Prime).Opening sound this week is actor Steve Coogan talking about playing Jimmy Savile on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg (BBC One)

In 1935 Cole Porter penned a tune called "Just One of Those Things" about a love affair "too hot not to cool down." And so it goes.What started out as a podcast critiquing Game Of Thrones relaunched as London Calling on Nov. 6, 2015. We've been around for five Prime Ministers, three US Presidents, two Monarchs, Brexit and a worldwide pandemic. Our intrepid duo has broadcast from 11 different countries from three different continents with barely a week off. And now we're taking a break.This is not goodbye but "until we meet again." Toby and James will return in October with a slightly revamped programme and the plan (for now) is come to you once a month after that. Stay tuned.So goodbye, goodbye, bye, bye, goodbye baby and amen -Here's hoping we'll meet now and then...It was great funBut it was just one of those things.Opening sound this week comes to you from KHNL, Honolulu.

Everyone is a little miserable this week, fueled by the rainy summer England has had this year.Or maybe because we're all getting a little bit older. James "celebrated" #58 this past weekend and Toby isn't looking forward to #60 due this October.Toby tells James about having lunch with Sean Langan, who’s just back from the Donbas where he’s been making a documentary about the Ukrainian war seen through the eyes of Russian conscripts.James pulls Toby up about last week’s episode, in which he thinks Toby “attacked” him; Toby assures James that no one put him up to it (not even our producer, Evil Brian) and, in Culture Corner, Toby praises Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and season two of Yellowstone, while James says how much he enjoyed The Chosen One, a new Netflix series from Mark Miller, and describes Anna Karenina as the best novel he’s ever read.

This week James and Toby open the discussion with James’ recent gig in Dorset and the division in towns like Bridport and Totnes between the woke and the awake, particularly over traffic calming measures like LTNs, Ulez schemes and 15-minute cities.They go on to talk about Yuval Harari’s calling for ‘conspiracy theorists’ to be banned from the internet and Toby ask James to respond to Harari’s claim that many conspiracy theories, particularly those that blame the world’s problems on an elite cabal of billionaires and their acolytes, have an antisemitic component and that leads to a bigger argument about whether James’s conspiracy theory about the ‘death jabs,' Paul McCartney and 'manufactured' bands.In Culture Corner, Toby heaps praise on They Cloned Tyrone, a new sci-fi conspiracy thriller (Netflix) and Lioness, the new Taylor Sheridan series (Paramount+), while James enthuses about Kohrra, an Indian police procedural (Netflix.)This week's opening sound is Yuval Noah Harari's appearance on The Lex Fridman Podcast #390.

It's hot in the Mediterranean and James and Toby discuss the recent forest fires in Greece and whether climate change or arsonists are to blame. This triggers an argument (From these two? Really?) about whether there are enough honest journalists left to expose such wrongdoing and that, in turn, leads to a heated discussion about whether the journalist Ross Clark is a genuine climate contrarian because concedes that the world has got a little bit warmer in the past 150 years.We then segue into a discussion of their holidays this year, both those they've already had and those they are planning, with James saying he may go to Amsterdam which leads to agreement that cannabis should probably not be legalised.Finally, in Culture Corner, James discusses the new University Challenge, as well as having almost finished Anna Karenina – which he declares the best novel he’s ever read – while Toby gives a lukewarm review to Hijack.Opening sound this week is CapX editor discussing Michael Gove's backtracking on Net Zero.

"The best laid plans of mice and men," said Rabbie Burns, "often go awry." And so it is as Toby tells James about how his travel plans have gone over the past fortnight, even though he’s in Majorca with his wife and four children.Better to be on holiday in Spain than to be in England with a hacked Twitter account. James' Twitter profile (and his followers) have been hijacked by a crypto currency scammer.They then discuss the weird ‘crossover’ podcast in which Nick Dixon, Toby’s other podcasting partner, interviewed James for his other podcast, The Current Thing. In Culture Corner, Toby praises season 1 of The Tulsa King (Paramount+) while James has been watching Eldorado: Everything the Nazis Hate (Netflix) and The Traitors: Australia (BBC3 and i-Player in the UK; there is an American version that runs on Peacock.)Opening sound this week is Novak Djokovic's gracious speech after his Finals loss at Wimbledon.

Toby is in Ibiza and James is in a funk as the diet he's on fails to really kick in and that leads to a discussion on DNA, genetically altered mosquitos, Bill Gates, lost friends and cocaine. Yep, it's quite the journey.On a serious note the lads take on the immigration crisis taking place all across Europe and especially the riots that have rocked France.In Culture Corner we begin with Wimbledon and the crowd's treatment of Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, who was booed off the court after losing to the Ukranian Elina Svitolina. And since it's summertime we concentrate on books instead of television.Opening sound this week is Azarenka in her post match press conference.

After the usual chit-chat about the week gone by, Toby and James have a substantive talk about the limits of free speech and what constitutes "crossing the line." It's all spurred on by the revelation last week that former UKIP party boss - and now GBNews personality - Nigel Farage has been "de-banked."In Culture Corner the spotlight falls on the new Idris Elba series, Hijack (AppleTV+) and Toby recalls the life an Englishman in America on the Fourth of July.Opening sound this week is Farage explaining his predicament on Twitter.

This week Toby tells James about his event-filled diary last week, the climax of which was bumping into Boris Johnson at a party and explaining to him why Tobes was so disappointed by his decision to tell us all to stay in our homes three years ago; a close second was attending a one-day conference on Friday chaired by the American journalist Michael Shellenberger about how to fight back against the censorship-industrial complex. Then it's on to the implosion of the Titan submersible. One of the lads thinks the news drip may have been a ‘psy op’ (Not saying who...) We also cover the "failed coup" in Russia led by the Wagner Group and whether it was all a cunning ploy so Putin could place Prigozhin and his forces North of Kiev without raising Ukrainian alarm bells.In Culture Corner James complains about The Covenant, which he dismisses as “regime propaganda”, and Toby praises Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which he saw last week with his 15 year-old son.

James began the week attending a "speed awareness" course, having been nicked going a wee bit too fast on the way to an appointment. Early on in the programme James thinks that he has finally... FINALLY... brought Toby over to Team James, only to have his hopes dashed later in the show.Yes, mummy and daddy have a bit a tiff this week that temporarily devolves into a cable news panel show, but we do our best to get it back on the rails so we can bring you the ever popular Culture Corner. Toby touts a new web site designed to help you discover if a show is more politics than entertainment and then offers his own advice on The Covenant, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+), and Extraction 2 (Netflix), while James gives a thumbs up to Tour de France: Unchained (Netflix).Opening sound this week is from Episode 3 of Tucker Carlson's Twitter monologues that sparks heated debate among James and Toby.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5822211/advertisement

Less than three years ago they were flying high and now they've been subjected to major setbacks. And, no, we're not talking about our intrepid duo. In the last week former President Donald Trump has been put under federal indictment, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been run out of Parliament and former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been placed under arrest.Rumors have circulated that this episode sees our hosts coming together in agreement over several major issues instead of the knock-down-drag-'em-out fight predicted over the weekend. You'll just have to listen in.In Culture Corner, both James and Toby take in Patriots at the Noel Coward, the latest play from Peter Morgan (The Crown, Frost/Nixon) that features Tom Hollander as Boris Berezovsky and Will Keen as Vladimir Putin. And - SPOILER ALERT - we wrap up Succession.Opening sound this week is Douglas Ross, Leader of the Opposition in the Scottish Parliament, commenting on Nicola Sturgeon's legal troubles.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5822211/advertisement

We begin this week with James and Toby debating a truly burning issue - Is it better to live in the city or live in the country? After some time in the country this past week, Toby isn't sure the Youngs would last very long living the Delipngpole life.In the news we talk about independent journalists detained for questioning by counterterror police, The Telegraph story about stifling lockdown dissent, and the Philip Schofield affair. (For our American listeners think a grayer and gayer version of Matt Lauer.)In Culture Corner, James can't even make it through the trailer for Poker Face (SkyMax in the UK, Peacock in the US), Toby is back on the Bernard Cornwall train with Sharpe's Devil, and they agree not to talk about Succession until James is caught up - and he'd be caught up if he wasn't watching crap such as The Days (Netflix).Opening sound this week is Amercan journalist Michael Shellenberger talking tp Andrew Doyle on GBNews about government censorship during the pandemic.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5822211/advertisement

Usually Culture Corner comes at the end of the programme but this week it sorts of flows through the entire show. We talk the bank holiday in the UK (It's Memorial Day in the USA), grocery stores, eye glass frames and proper English pronunciations. Somehow James and Toby come around to Ron DiSantis announcing for President plus the Target and Bud Light boycotts but that just leads us to John Carpenter movies and pictures about the war in Vietnam.In Culture Corner proper, James turns against Silo and Toby says stay as far away as possible from FUBAR (Netflix) as it lives up to the name.Opening sound this week is Gov. Ron DeSantis talking about Donald Trump on the Clay and Buck Show.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5822211/advertisement

This week’s episode begins on a sceptical note, namely the lads talking about the live recording of Toby's "other" podcast (The Weekly Sceptic) at the Emmanuel Centre on Saturday evening. When James organised a live recording of The Delingpod at the same venue, he sold out the 900-seat auditorium, but Tobes only managed to fill the 250-seater. The first question during the Q&A was from a fan who asked how much longer the London Calling can continue, given how acrimonious some of the exchanges between the hosts are getting and how they often seem to be talking past each other.After we’ve got that out the way, they just about have time to pay tribute to two of their favourite writers, Martin Amis and Jeremy Clarke, who both died at the weekend.Opening sound this week is the late Jeremy Clarke reading from his column Low Life: Dead cool (September 3, 2016) from The Spectator via Facebook.

Everybody dance now! We're gonna make you sweat as Toby and James bust a few moves and take to the dance floor. After the terpsichorean trip down memory lane they talk Donald Trump's CNN town hall and, closer to home, Rev. Calvin Robinson's GBNews monologue on Ukraine (available here) and author Ian Rons' criticism of it in the pages of The Daily Sceptic. That leads to a wider discussion about journalistic ethics.This week in Culture Corner, James endorses Silo (AppleTV+) and Sanctuary (Netflix), Toby offers up The Diplomat(Netflix). We also get an answer to last week's "genre" question. And we wrap things up with a discussion about the reviews surrounding Queen Cleopatra on Rotten Tomatoes.Opening sound this week is Calvin Robinson on his GBNews program from last Saturday.

Oh, to be in England now that Spring is here! When republicans and royalists are in full bloom! James and Toby clash on the official coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. Another chapter in our long Island story or just a distraction? Say, who's in charge around here.We wrap up James' trip abroad (ewwww, leaches!) and mourn, lament and bury the Queen's Park Rangers season.All that and Culture Corner, too. This week's opening sound is King Charles reading off cue cards for his oath.

What better way to observe May Day than to discuss another US bank failure? But before we get to the collapse of First Republic (Is this another case of "Get Woke, Go Broke" and what does it means for the future of ESG and "Stakeholder Capitalism?"), we talk about James’ adventures in the Far East, including a trip to a Muslim Thai restaurant in Malaysia where he had the best cup of tea he’s ever had.Toby recounts his own adventures in the Far North - no, not that one - we're talking about Stoke-on-Trent, where he went on Saturday to see QPR’s final away game of the current football season. Speaking of football, what's the real motivation behind Ryan Reynolds’ and Rob McElhenney’s purchase of Wrexham Football Club?In Culture Corner, James goes all anthropological on us. Really. Opening sound this week is Jamie Dimon, the chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase, on this morning's conference call on the acquistion of First Republic Bank.

Two thirds of the earth is covered in water, the rest is covered by London Calling. But this week we've left London behind as James and Toby find themselves on opposite sides of the world – Toby in Canada, James in Hong Kong – and whether jet lag gets worse as you get older.James says Hong Kong may not be a democracy any longer, but then, neither is the UK, while Toby tells him how much he’s enjoying being in Canada, not least because there are plenty of conservatives in rural areas who have no time for their Prime Minister.Then it's on to discuss the news of the hour – Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News – with James claiming it’s because he’s too Team James and Toby thinking it’s because the Murdochs were embarrassed about having to settle the Dominion law suit.They aslo pay tribute to the late Barry Humphries, briefly discuss the candidacy of Robert Kennedy Jr, explore the pro-natalist movement (to which James is sympathetic, although he gets sidetracked into talking about his new theory that Greta Thunberg is a small, hairless man.)In Culture Corner, they discuss The Playlist, The Night Agent, and The Whale. Falling off the bookshelf is Anna Karenina, which James is reading in Hong Kong, and Andrew Roberts’s magisterial Churchill biography, which Toby is listening to in Canada.Opening sound this week is the Canadian Prime Minister rewriting history on the vaccine mandates.

This week James has a good walk in Shropshire spoiled by the "bird-blending, bat-chomping eco-crucifixes" and Toby debates animal "rights" around the dinner table because of the deaths of three horses at this past weekend's Grand National. ("Save the Sheep!")That leads us to the name change of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the scandal at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the shocking suicide of a 19-year old Greenpeace activist from Walthamstow who became inconsolable by the prospect of climate change.We also pay tribute to Nigel Lawson, Mrs. Thatcher's Chancellor of the Exchequer who died 3 April, aged 91.In Culture Corner, we let the blocks fall where they may with Tetris (AppleTV+) and Seven Kings Must Die (Netflix.)Opening sound this week is James Evans, Member of the Senedd for Brecon and Radnorshire courtesy of GBNews.

This week James and Toby contemplate the spiritual - from the game of "sermon bingo" James and his family played when they went to church this Sunday (betting on which progressive talking points the vicar would include in the service) to Justin Welby’s pledge to set aside £100 million for the Church of England’s reparations fund and that leads to the question as to why the Anglican Church was been captured by the woke cult (James thinks it’s the work of the devil).Speaking of reparations, we also talk about the recent story about the founder of The Guardian and his links to the slave trade and the paper's subsequent attempt to deflect attention from this story by exposing the Royal Family’s links to the slave trade.In other news, Toby crows about the derailment of the Worker Protection Bill, for which the Free Speech Union deserves some credit.In Culture Corner, Moonage Daydream (Available for rent on Amazon Prime) Sharper (AppleTV+), The White Lotus 2 and Beef (Netflix).Opening sound this week is BBC Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell talking about the Royal Family slavery study.

This week James buys a second-hand car while Toby has a mundane weekend and contemplates masculinity, which prompts a discussion on the release of Andrew Tate from jail and why he’s acquired cult status among adolescent males (in spite of being a less than stellar advert for masculinity) and James wishes that he were a more ‘manly man.’ Of course there's the Trump indictment and whether the former President uses the word ‘INDICATED’ deliberately to troll the libs; plus the Overton Window and whether Toby outside of it or not.In Culture Corner, the films 65 (Sony Entertainment), The Boston Strangler (Hulu in the US, Disney+ in the UK), as well as the TV shows Succession, Rabbit Hole and War Sailor (Netflix).Opening sound this week is remarks by Andrew Tate after being released from prison.

This week, James and Toby discuss James’s profound sense of loss now that the hunting season is over and Toby’s concern that James’s pessimism about the future is making him mentally ill.Among the news items covered: Whether Bill Gates really is an evil mastermind, the inevitability of ’15 minute’ cities, the Global Warming Policy Foundation’s damning new report on wind power, Humza Yousef becoming the new leader of the SNP and the mobbing of Kellie-Jay Keen in New Zealand.In Culture Corner, the new season of Succession (HBO Max), The Night Agent (Netflix), the first of Anthony Trollope’s Palliser novels (Can You Forgive Her?) and Royal Flash, the second of George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman novels.Opening sound this week is Kellie-Jay Keen talking about being attacked in New Zealand, courtesy of TalkTV.

The lads are depressed. For James it’s the end of the hunting season, for Toby it’s QPR (11-19-18, 19th in the league table) and his football hopes are dashed in more ways than one. After a mutual therapy session it’s on to the news of the week: Donald Trump is facing Stormy seas in NY as a DA thinks he has a case to arrest the former President, YouTube silences a speech by Andrew Bridgen... Source

Toby and James begin the week talking about James’s health (not good), Toby’s failure to make it across London using public transport (which James thinks is all part of the plan to keep us locked in our homes), and the Gary Lineker scandal (which James thinks was cooked up to distract people from the Great Reset and other, equally important things taking place under our noses). In other news we... Source

On this week’s episode of London Calling, Toby and James start by talking about James’ health (he has a cold), then segue into discussing what James says is the best hunting experience of his life. Toby then tells James about his week (hangover and all), which included appearing on Jacob Rees-Mogg’s debut show on GBNews and attending the third anniversary party of the Free Speech Union. Source

In this week’s episode of London Calling, Toby and James discuss last Saturday’s live recording of The Delingpod, in which James interviewed Neil Oliver in front of a paying audience of 900; Toby worries about whether his live recording of The Weekly Sceptic on 1st April in the same venue (the Emmanuel Centre) will be as popular. It has been some time since Mummy and Daddy had a fight, no? Source

We’re all over the politically correct spectrum this week. On one hand, James had his epic hunting adventure last weekend, while on the other hand, Toby is struggling to adjust to his new role as “Mr. Mom” now that an empowered Caroline has left for a two week holiday in Barbados. Meanwhile, there’s a lot on the censorship front as we take on the list of media that the UK Government’s “anti... Source

In this week’s episode of London Calling, Toby and James discuss James’ rock star status among the readers of TCW Defending Freedom, the shooting down of three “UFOs” over North American airspace and whether that’s a nice way to treat visitors from another galaxy, the spat between Mark Steyn and GBNews, Seymour Hersh’s allegations about US involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines... Source

As is our Monday ritual, Toby and James discuss their weekend exploits (James went hunting, Toby watched a musical based on Come Dine With Me) before getting on to the news of the day: Robert Kennedy Jr’s lawsuit against the Trusted Media Initiative, Sam Smith’s feeble attempts to imitate Mick Jagger at the Grammy Awards, the appearance of former Isis bride Shamima Begum on the cover of the Times’... Source

This week James and Toby discuss how different the last three years would have been if James, and not Chris Whitty, had been the Chief Medical Officer and the fact that during the pandemic it seems Toby was spied upon by the 77th Brigade, a unit of the British Army, as revealed in a new report from Big Brother Watch. In other news we cover the tax affairs of the now ex-Chairman of the Conservative... Source

An interesting mix this week (and sometimes with just TOO much information) as James and Toby discuss whether 2022 saw higher-than average mortality in Britain and elsewhere and, if it did, whether the mRNA vaccines are responsible; Charles III’s forthcoming coronation (which the King intends to dedicate to refugees and NHS workers); the prostitution boom in Davos; and most disturbingly... Source

One is back from the hunt and the other is preparing to go. Our intrepid duo talk about Toby’s shooting trip last weekend and James’ upcoming hunt meet in which a benefactor is going to provide him with – not just one – but two horses. Now we’re cooking with gas. Or are we? They also take on the sudden attack on gas boilers, Chris Skidmore’s (MP – Kingswood/South Gloucestershire) ‘review’ of net... Source

Since we last met Toby made another trip to Iceland, this time to give a talk at the inaugural meeting of a new free speech society. The post trip discussion on Icelandic cuisine, well, that’s a different story. The news of the week prompts a question, “Do we need a New Enlightenment to tackle the hijacking of science by woke leftists?” Plus we tackle the Duke of Sussex’s extraordinarily misjudged... Source

We gave the boys the week off last week and told them to go enjoy themselves. Our bad. As we catch up with Toby and James after the holidays, they share their Christmas disaster stories – James got vertigo playing on a roundabout with his three year-old granddaughter, while Toby stayed in the Airbnb-from-hell in Cardiff. For 2023 they discuss the pros and cons of Veganuary and/or Dry January (one... Source

We’re putting a bow on the 2022 run of London Calling as James and Toby compare the respective sizes of their Christmas trees, the parties and dinners they’ve been to in the run-up to the holidays, and their favourite Christmas movies. In the news we cover Jeremy Clarkson’s Game of Thrones fantasy about Meghan Markle, whether climate activists believe in their own rhetoric or are just using global... Source

James takes enough time off from gathering wood to burn in his Rayburn cast iron stove (so he and his family won’t freeze to death when the World Economic Forum cuts off the power this winter) to let Toby read out an extract from ‘An Odd Couple For Our Odd Times’, a glowing article about our little show in The National Review (which, unfortunately is behind their paywall) and they both agree with... Source

Topics this week include Toby and James include James’ sell-out gig at the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green, Toby’s four after-dinner speaking gigs in the past seven days (including one for the Totnes Young Conservatives) the unseemly haste with which poor Lady Hussy was thrown under a bus after asking Ngozi Fulani where she was from at a Buckingham Palace reception, and Ice Cube becomes... Source

A cold has Toby feeling less than stellar this week, so he and James have an age old discussion about men – and old age. Vitamin regimens, detoxification and general bouts of hypochondria lead off the show before we really get down, as Texans would say, to brass tacks. Namely, are the protests happening across Communist China just a blip on the radar or is this real trouble for Xi? And do we have... Source

This week James and Toby compare notes about meeting fans of the podcast and discuss all the things that have happened in the past week that suggest James just may be correct in his assessment about who’s really running the world (the Autumn Statement, the signing of a climate reparations agreement at COP27 and Rishi Sunak’s betrayal of Brexit.) We congratulate Elon Musk on reinstating Donald... Source

Lou Pearlman… Bernie Madoff… and now, Sam Bankman-Fried. “SBF” joins a long list of Ponzi scheme artists in modern times and Toby and James open the show with the collapse of FTX and the fall from grace of its 30 year-old founder. Toby’s just back from Hungary, a nation that he says provides a glimpse of what Britain might look like if our side had won the culture war, why the British Government... Source

In this week’s London Calling, Toby and James discuss James’s trip to Venice, which is mercifully free of Covid theatre, whether traveling overseas is being made deliberately more difficult as part of the Great Reset or it’s just a consequence of staff shortages at airports. Glancing at items currently in the news we assess the risk that Rishi Sunak will agree to pay ‘reparations’ to countries... Source

In this week’s episode Toby and James discuss the deep state’s determination to destroy Home Secretary Suella Braverman (MP for Fareham) and the finalization of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, including his Tweet about the the conspiracy theory surrounding the Nancy Pelosi ‘home invader.’ In other news we talk about the victory of Lula over Bolsonaro in the Brazilian Presidential election...

Now that the drama about who is to be the next Prime Minister has been settled, in the most undramatic fashion with an uncontested race for the Tory Leadership, the high drama remains on London Calling… Will Toby capitulate and join Team James in the WEF Globalist Conspiracy wing of the podcast? Oh, wait. Can we even use the word “globalist?” Or has that been designated as the next anti-Semitic... Source

Time marches on and so James wishes Toby a happy birthday (today, Oct. 17) but they both worry about the approaching Big Six-O. And while one might assume than a man of Toby’s “advanced” years would be through with cycling, he relates to James the tale of his recent accident (which pleases James because he doesn’t like cyclists to begin with). Speaking of time, when Liz Truss became PM it was... Source

This week James and Toby discuss if James is suffering from mercury poisoning, whether Tobes is, at the least, partly responsible for PayPal’s recent difficulties, and the ongoing trials and tribulations of the new Prime Minister.

In Culture Corner, James takes on The Old Man (FX/Hulu in the US, Disney+ in the UK) while Toby... Source

Update: At 5:30pm BST (12:30 EDT) this evening, PayPal notified Toby that it has restored all three of the accounts it cancelled a couple of weeks ago – the accounts for the Daily Sceptic, the Free Speech Union and his personal account. In all three cases, the email read as follows: We have continued to review the information provided in connection with your account and we take seriously the input... Source

On the day we laid our late Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, to her eternal rest, we reflect on the last ten days of mourning. And so we have entered the Era of Charles III and with it, cricket riots in Leicester. The rest of the world churns on and we discuss Ron DeSantis’s transport of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Toby’s dinner with Jordan Peterson, the trans teacher at a Canadian... Source

Of course the lead story this week is the death of Her Majesty the Queen. James is showing a bit of a republican streak at the beginning of the reign of Charles III and he’s not the only one. Toby and the Free Speech Union are defending quite a few as tolerance of opposing views slowly fades away across the land. Looking elsewhere they celebrate the election of Pierre Poilievre as leader of the... Source

If it’s Tuesday it must be a day for the kissing of hands. Boris and Liz go to Balmoral and out goes one Prime Minister and in comes another. Toby and James disagree about whether Liz Truss is her own woman or controlled by the WEF and You-Know-Who. For laughs the guys discuss the Chris Rock-Dave Chappelle gig which Toby took in on Sunday night and James enters the 21st Century of internet... Source

A London Calling Tuesday can only mean one thing – Toby got a last-minute grouse shooting invitation – for Monday. As the Johnson Premiership comes to a close this week (The final results of the race between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak are to be announced next Monday), we discuss the possibility that Tobes could end up in the House of Lords, which leads to a discussion of James’ new book about “God...

We start with the least controversial opinions to begin this week’s show, namely, the return of the mullet is not a good idea. After dispensing with that we hit the news from the last week: the FBI raids Mar-a-Lago, Salman Rushdie is attacked in New York State, actress Ann Heche’s fatal accident and the cancellation of comedian Jerry Sadowitz. In Culture Corner the show returns to its roots with... Source

This week our congenial hosts talk about Toby’s narrow escape from a volcanic eruption in Iceland. But more importantly, how’s a journalist expected to take a family holiday without an expense account? Toby also frets about his obsession with watering the lawn and how he’s going to cope with the hosepipe ban. And with James’ proclivity for the occasional trip down the rabbit hole... Source

The Delingpoles admire their billing.

This week Toby and James talk about Toby’s family holiday in Iceland, where he’s enjoying the spectacular scenery and geological wonders but is freaking out about how eye-wateringly expensive everything is. In addition, they discuss the shortcomings of the recent BBC documentary ‘Unvaccinated’, whether or not the moon landings actually happened, whether dinosaurs are a hoax, the fact that the... Source

In this week’s episode, James and Toby discuss whether the current heatwave is evidence of global warming, whether the Conservative Party leadership election is “rigged” by the World Economic Forum and who is likely to win.

Note: This week’s episode of London Calling, was recorded several hours before the Conservative Party’s vote of confidence in Boris Johnson’s premiership. Update: Johnson survives, 211-148. Percentage-wise that is much worse than the vote that signaled the beginning of the end for Theresa May in 2019. Number 10 had hoped to keep the rebellion under 100 votes. Toby and James discuss whether Boris... Source

In this week’s London Calling, Toby and James discuss whether Boris will survive a vote of no confidence, wonder if it would make any difference if he was replaced by another Conservative leader, marvel at the Government’s theft of Jeremy Corbyn’s policies, and pie-in-the-face climate debate with the Mona Lisa. In Culture Corner, they give their verdicts on Stranger Things Season 4 and Ricky... Source

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and Toby try their best to avoid arguing and stick to topics they agree on, including the inevitability of widespread social unrest in the near future, and their complete indifference to Davos (although James does highlight Michael Senger’s Substack on the Monkeypox and where that falls in the scheme of things.) Then it’s on to the heroism of... Source

After lamenting about the rising and eye-watering expense of summer holidays, James and Toby take off the gloves and duke it out over two red-hot topics: First up, Putin’s muted reaction to the prospect of Finland and Sweden joining NATO and whether or not that gives the lie to the claim that Putin was ‘provoked’ into attacking Ukraine. Secondly, the imminent World Health Organization treaty that... Source

In this week’s London Calling, James and Toby discuss the QPR’s failure to reach the Championship play-offs, last week’s local election results (“Boring,” snorts James), Sinn Fein’s success in Northern Ireland and what that means for the future of the United Kingdom. Then there’s Keir Starmer’s announcement that he’ll resign if the Durham Police conclude he broke the rules during Beer-gate and... Source

This week’s we have a Bank Holiday edition of London Calling which begins with James and Toby showing an amazing lack of understanding of the US holiday calendar but more than make up for it with a review of the weekend’s Delingpod Live event at London’s Emmanuel Centre. In the news there’s the coming global famine and whether it’s cock-up or conspiracy, the fact that the Queen is going to be... Source

This week James and Toby discuss the news of Elon Musk’s apparently imminent takeover of Twitter and what that means for fans of free speech. We look back at Sunday’s big story, the re-election of Emmanuel Macron, muse over the integrity of the French Presidential election and whether Marine Le Pen’s 42% share of the vote means France is more racist than Britain and at home, what’s the future of... Source

In this special Easter weekend version of London Calling, James and Toby tackle the Church of England, from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s unwelcome intervention in the immigration debate to their refusal to ordain Calvin Robinson. Then it’s on to that other religion, football, with QPR’s games on Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday. We go frolicking with the Easter Bunny as James writes about the... Source

A plethora of topics on this week’s episode of London Calling: environmental protests, Boris’s double U-turn on banning conversion therapy, the non-dom (that’s “non-domiciled,” for our American listeners) status of the wife of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the horrors of the latest CCP lockdown in Shangai, the French election – and finally – Boris’s surprise visit to Ukraine. Source

In this week’s London Calling, the topics under discussion are James’s recent trip to Bulgaria, Elon Musk’s purchase of close to 10% of Twitter, the ‘Respect my sex if you want my X’ campaign, and the Fixed Penalty Notice slapped on Boris’s “head of ethics” for attending a party in Downing Street. Which then leads to wonder just why karaoke seems to appeal so much to Tory politicians... Source

In this week’s London Calling, James and Toby discuss the Oscars, pointing out that Army of the Dead winning ‘fan favourite’ was the real low point, not Will Smith slapping Chris Rock and the worry about President Biden inadvertently triggering a nuclear war by going off script and saying Putin cannot “remain in power.” Mummy and Daddy have a bit of a tiff about the videos that allege war crimes... Source

In this week’s London Calling, James and Toby discuss Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s unwillingness to thank the British government for securing her release at a cost of £400 million to the British taxpayer and how Boris’s comparison of the crisis in Ukraine to Brexit upset more than a few people. In more cultural matters (not to be confused with Culture Corner) they talk about the absurd spectacle of... Source

This week, James and Toby talk about the Delingpoles recent holiday in Costa Rica (he loved the wildlife, but not the masks) and then it’s on to the events of the week: The £400m release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori from Iran, Elon Musk’s proposal to wrestle Vladimir Putin for Ukraine, whether or not James is suffering from ‘oikophobia’ (Roger Scruton’s word for people who... Source

In this week’s London Calling, Toby has to guess where James is on holiday – and he does – and James praises the British Airways staff for not once telling him to put on a mask during the 12-hour flight. For the most part they cannot agree on anything this week, whether it’s about the war in Ukraine (James even takes issue with Toby’s claim that the invasion isn’t going according to Putin’s plan*)... Source

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and Toby engage in a bit of throat-clearing about James’s meeting with Jason Miller, CEO of Gettr, then get to the main event – Putin’s invasion of Ukraine – which they disagree about. James is sceptical about the fact that so much of the MSM is “hot for war,” as he puts it, while Toby argues that the reason there is almost universal condemnation of... Source

This week Toby Young talks to the man in the street. Our man James Delingpole is literally on the streets of London – complete with the occasional car horn, siren and gusts of wind – but the show must go on. Toby wraps up his trip with tales of Mexico and then, staying in North America, they take on Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Crackdown. Who is calling the shots? Is it the the PM or Klaus... Source

The US Navy’s recruiting slogan used to be, “It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure!” Sometimes that applies to this podcast, too. This week Toby comes to us from Mexico City and James from rural England where broadband is non-existent and hard drives go to die. After taping on Monday, James’ computer committed seppuku, leaving us without a show. But we’ve gotten the band back together and we’re... Source

Jump up in the cab, good buddies, look’s like we got ourselves a convoy… James and Toby discuss the Freedom Convoy, which has restored their faith in Canadians and then touch on the Jimmy Carr joke imbroglio. Carr, who has made a living telling tasteless jokes (and avoiding taxes, but that’s another story) has caused various left-wing comedians to demand that he and his Netflix special be... Source

The last time we heard from our intrepid duo, Toby and James were making plans to go shooting together. It seems they fought off all temptation to take aim at one another because they’re back – hail, hearty and full of game. There is, of course, the continuing sagas of our times: Partygate, who’s really in charge of Covid policy and the inglorious end of the NHS vaccine mandate. In America there’s... Source

In this week’s episode of London Calling is very sobering – literally. Before James and Toby talk about who’s to blame for the crisis in Ukraine, Toby’s Dry January turned very wet over the weekend. Then they take on Putin, Biden, NATO and Ukraine and why they can’t bring themselves to spell Kiev “K-Y-I-V.” On the home front, would Boris be better to cling to nurse for fear of something worse... Source

In this week’s London Calling, James and Toby argue about whether the global pandemic is over (Toby thinks it is, while James thinks it’s a false dawn) and discuss the Johnny-come-latelies who claim to have been lockdown sceptics all along. They compare them to repentant Communists after the fall of the Berlin Wall. They also worry that it may be all over for their old friend Boris (well... Source

Guess who has Covid – again? One half of our intrepid duo, that’s who. After that personal update its off to the Madness Down Under and Men’s Tennis #1 Novak Djockovic’s battle with the immigration authorities over his vaccine status and his spot in the Australian Open. On the UK domestic front there’s the prospect of two new political parties (Jeremy Corbyn’s “ Peace and Justice Party” and Gina... Source

In this week’s episode of London Calling, Toby collects his 50 quid and then he and James debate whether 2022 will be the year we return to normal or “The Great Reset” will continue apace. What lies ahead in politics? What’s the line of succession in Scotland, what does the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell hold for the powerful around the world and what are the chances of Boris surviving until the... Source

It’s our last show of 2021, in the 52nd week of another Covid year. And it’s a real Twixmas special! Toby and James discuss Boris’s postponement of D-Day, being ridiculed by their families over Christmas, their best Christmas gifts of 2021 and Toby’s public shaming on Twitter last week. And for a side of surprise James throws Donald Trump aside. In Culture Corner Toby touts The Rescue (Disney+)... Source

To begin the week James sketches out his worst case scenario: Delingpole v. the NHS. In the review of the week we start with the good news: the landmark free speech victory won by former constable Harry Miller (aided by the Free Speech Union) in the Court of Appeals. Then on to Omicron; Monday afternoon the PM announced that he won’t be imposing any more restrictions – for now – but may impose... Source

As Boris talks the status of “Plan B,” James and Toby talk the status of “The Bet.” The other big question is centered around the PM’s ability to remain in Number 10. Two years ago the Tories were celebrating securing an 80-seat majority and now the House is in rebellion and a by-election is scheduled for Thursday. We touch on London Mayor Sadiq Kahn’s latest assault on our freedoms as he tries to... Source

This afternoon in the House, Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced that community transmission of the new Omicron variant has taken hold in England. So far, this version seems to be relatively mild, which leads us to wonder why, instead of trying to suppress infection from Omicron, why aren’t we holding Omicron parties? And speaking of parties, James and Toby also question the government’s new... Source

This week our intrepid duo is armed and dangerous. The first segment of the show is dedicated to shooting and the hunt. After the fun we return to the news of the day which, of course, is dominated by Covid both at home and abroad. In an abbreviated Culture Corner, James reviews the new Beatles documentary Get Back from director Peter Jackson and Disney+ and Toby sees Belfast from writer/ Source

James and Toby start out with their own Brideshead Revisited moment as they look back on their days as students at Oxford before getting into the news of the day, including the introduction of mandatory jabs in Austria, the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, the forthcoming trial of Ghislaine Maxwell and the Prime Minister losing his place in a speech to the Confederation of British Industry. Source

We open the week with Toby and the terrible winter cold he’s got – which he tells us is far worse than his bout of Covid-19 last year. While he’s on the road and sounds a bit subdued, we throw our best sniffle filter into the mix and the show must go on. Leading the news is the scuppering of the COP26 coal deal by India and China and the slim prospect of Greta Thunberg now turning her fire on the... Source

First up this week is a bevy of Covid stories including David Starkey’s assertion that vaccines should be compulsory; the new head of NHS England’s misleading claim that there are currently 14 times as many Covid patients in hospital as there were this time last year (when, in fact, there are fewer) and former Health Minister Matt “I Snogged at the Office” Hancock’s Telegraph comment piece saying... Source

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer somewhere “near” COP26. The world has gathered in Glasgow or, in CNN’s case, Edinburgh. (At 76 kilometers it’s as close as CNN comes to being right these days…) This week is a COP26 special in which we discuss our Glorious Leader’s speech, the bizarreness of Greta and her loud army of protestors and a hypocrite-of-the-week contest. In Culture Corner, we discuss Dune... Source

Cartoonist Michael Leunig has been sacked by The Age over this image. Source: Instagram/leunigstudio Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets. After our intrepid duo review Toby’s great success in shooting, the conversation turns to the case of Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig who was dismissed from The Age for comparing resisting mandatory vaccination to the fight for democracy in Tiananmen...

The murder of Sir David Amess, MP casts a large shadow over the proceedings this week. After assessing the implications for the future we take on happier topics, starting with James’ Delingpod adventure with Laurence Fox. Speaking of Lozza, we also drop a zed and cover the rapper Loza Alexander and his new song, Let’s Go, Brandon. We also cover the billionaire race, the dancing Greta... Source

It’s a Battle of Team James v Team Toby as we open up this week’s episode with Toby’s participation in the The Battle of Ideas Festival in London this past weekend. We cover Rotten Tomatoes disabling the ‘Audience Score’ button for the new Disney+/National Geographic documentary Fauci, Toby’s encounter with fellow journalist Lynn Barber, the introduction of vaccine passports in Wales following a... Source

James and Toby spend more time on the road than Hope and Crosby but unfortunately it’s not together. This week we’re all about James’s return to grey old England after his glorious week in Croatia and Toby’s trip to Scotland (in which he fails, spectacularly, to shoot a deer). After the personal preliminaries we touch on the redaction of the emails from Sir Patrick Vallance (the UK’s version of... Source

A midweek release for this episode as James has been on the “last holiday” with his family and comes to us from Croatia and the shores of the Adriatic. The big story this week is Britain’s fuel “crisis” and the PM’s decision to “bring in the army.” The blame, of course, is directed at Brexiteers, justified or not. London Calling fans greet Toby as he participated in a lockdown debate this week and... Source

The announced easing of travel restrictions between the US and citizens of the UK get us going – but our producer, “Evil Brian,” isn’t sweating it because James will still need the double-jab to show up at his front door. On the international front they cover (or stumble through) the Canadian Parliamentary election, the AUKUS security deal, and whether James is contaminating Toby’s “brand” by... Source

Excuse the nationalistic pride, but James and Toby celebrate Emma Raducanu’s triumph in the U.S. Open Women’s Final but bemoan the way it was immediately politicised. But that gives way to the despair of this government’s Covid policy with passports and vaccines for healthy children. In Culture Corner Toby watches THE Suicide Squad while James recommends Lovesick on Netflix (which was called... Source

We start the week in County Durham where James travels to see Kynren, the outdoor show that’s “a romp through 2,000 years of English history from the masks of the Roman invaders to the masks of Arthurian legend to the masks of Queen Victoria. Did we say that they were all wearing masks? Then it’s on to the more serious: the Government’s incomprehensible decision to press on with its vaccine... Source

This week in Covid news, Michael Gove, the Minister for the Cabinet Office was recorded dancing in an Aberdeen nightclub over the weekend while the PM’s office barrels ahead in implementing its medical passport scheme, a 17-year old girl from Newport, South Wales takes heat over her Twitter postings and Mary Bousted of the National Education Union fires a shot across the bow for a possible teacher’... Source

We have a full, full plate this week. We talk about Trump’s speech in Alabama, how the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan has also deteriorated the “special relationship,” the non-stop death spiral of freedom in Australia in the name of zero-Covid ( They shoot dogs, don’t they?) and the new rainbow “anti-hate” cop cars in the UK. In Culture Corner, Toby returns to the cinema by taking his... Source

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... Source

We’re offering up your money’s worth this week with a full hour of podcast excellence to be had. Toby and James open the show with a discussion of efficiently managing their time between work, family and devotion to “kicky-ball” teams like QPR, (Toby’s substack can be found here) and Team GB’s strong showing in this year’s Tokyo Games keeps us in a sporting mood as James aims for Paris 2024. Source

We cram a good 65-minute show into a half hour this week and not through editing. James explains that conundrum at the top of the program. What’s left is Covid face-licking (no, really), Lord Digby Jones in a Twitter throw down with BBC presenter Alex Scott and Toby’s moment of athletic glory. Opening sound this week of Lord Digby Jones courtesy of GBNews. Source

Much to the consternation of Team Delingpole and Team Toby, our intrepid duo are back in the saddle and riding again. Like meat and potatoes, or salt and tomatoes or the Lone Ranger and Tonto, somethings just go better together. That means there’s a lot of catching up to do – from Toby’s interrupted holiday in Wales to the results of “Freedom Day 2021.” We go over the doomsday predictions of... Source

Disappointing results on the pitch Sunday night as England fell to Italy on penalty kicks. Among the faithful in attendance was one Toby Young who was hangin’ with the WAGS. We get a firsthand report from Wembley. And then we, uh… tackle the “ Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey” at the Redbridge Library. (Well, those are words we never expected to type…) and the PM says we’re definitely on our way out of... Source

Another week and another “freedom date,” this time it’s July 19th, and by this time next week it might as well be the 12th of Never. England is going gaga over the success of Team England in the Euros (the Semi-final vs Denmark is Wednesday July 7) but our intrepid duo can’t seem to get as excited as everyone else, although Toby is following the progress of Emma Raducanu, the rising star of... Source

We start off the week with pure thievery – Toby goes to Central London and gets his phone pinched, which meant that he missed Saturday’s march. Not that it really mattered since James had such a good time he doesn’t remember too much of it himself. Then it’s off to the news of the week dominated, of course, by the resignation of Matt Hancock as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Source

Monday June 21st was supposed to be “Freedom Day” in the UK as the Covid-19 restrictions were to finally go away. Yeah, right. James and Toby reflect on the PM’s delay and look forward to a weekend of conflicting protests next Saturday as lockdown sceptics, BLM and Extinction Rebellion all plan to take to London’s streets. With the word that New Zealand will be sending the world’s first... Source

The PM has announced that Covid restrictions will not end on June 21 as planned and may continue for up to four more weeks. “At a certain stage, we are going to have to learn to live with the virus and to manage it as best we can,” the prime minister said. James, of course, doesn’t think restrictions will ever end. Boris was also the host of the G7 Conference in Cornwall where everyone is pledging... Source

What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is goin’ on around here?!? After the obligatory acknowledgement of the latest royal progeny, our intrepid duo have a take at the three biggest stories in sport this past week. First up is Ollie Robinson, a bowler (for you Yanks, that’s the “pitcher” for a cricket team) whose debut for England on the international scene was overshadowed by the resurfacing of... Source

Fresh from their smash reunion tour this weekend, James and Toby recap the weekend’s anti-lockdown march that wound from Parliament Square to Toby’s doorstep. We then parse the testimony of the PM’s former “top man,” Dominic Cummings, before the House’s Health and Science select committees last week and who came out of it better. Do you want a Prime Minister or a Monarch (and by “monarch” we’re... Source

This week, in an interview with Dax Shepard, Prince Harry created a stir in his new neighborhood by labeling America’s First Amendment as “bonkers.” It was but a small comment in a larger discussion of a Royal in therapy and James and Toby tackle both head on. Other topics deftly addressed in this episode include Laura Dodsworth’s new book A State of Fear: How the UK Government Weaponised Fear... Source

Due to the graciousness of Her Majesty’s Government, we’re starting this week with a party at the Young house! (No, not in the Young house, just at the Young house.) We talk about the BBC’s decision not to cover last Saturday’s anti-lockdown protest – in spite of roughly 100,000 people attending – the forthcoming march on May 29th, whether the “Indian Variant” will stop the PM from lifting all... Source

The results of the elections are in: The Tories increase their Parliamentary majority with a by-election win in Hartlepool, the SNP came up short of a majority in Scotland and Lozza lost both his race and his deposit. James and Toby have plenty of analysis. We then turn to Auntie Beeb’s “hug” expert, they debate who will be more sorry in five years time, and just what exactly does “Build Back... Source

After butchering the American holiday calendar, our intrepid duo takes on the Government’s Covid calendar. Such is the nervousness of the general population, the Delingpole family went to lunch and behaved so normally they got banned from the restaurant for life. James and Toby then take on why the media has become lapdogs for Number 10 on Covid policy. How is it that a Tory government is getting... Source

We start with Saturday’s anti-lockdown protest in London and the under-reporting of it by the BBC. When press does report on such events you can count on them to be generally characterized as being populated by Covid deniers, conspiracy theorists and far right extremists. (James Delingpole with the hat trick!) Then we move on to the Government’s Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies (SAGE) and... Source

James hit the campaign trail with Laurence Fox this past weekend (Mmmmmm, donuts…) and now we gather to talk a little treason and try to avoid getting arrested. Toby, meanwhile attended an FA semifinal match and, between the masks and the stadium Nazis, had an absolutely miserable time. Our hero of the week is Rod Humphris, landlord of The Raven in Bath who threw Labour Leader Keir Starmer out his... Source

Today was the day to begin day drinking in the UK (at least in public.) Pubs and retail stores may resume operations but with restrictions, of course. We would be remiss not to address the loss of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. We take note of this interview he gave to Afternoon Plus in 1984. Then we simply have to share this from a Telegraph columnist: The real burning... Source

The Easter holiday comes to an end and with it the deprivations of Lent. When will the deprivations of lockdowns go with it? James is convinced his generation is waving the white flag of surrender for traditional liberal Western values while Toby blames their corruption on the power we’ve handed them. (To understand the forces at play here he recommends Power Broker from the Lockdown Sceptics’... Source

We start the week by doing the weekly shopping with James and Toby – without masks, of course. According to the government today is “Happy Monday,” with a limited return to outdoor sport and tea in the garden with the neighbors. But that’s always “the variants” lurking around the corner… lurking like a balloon animal stuffed with walnuts coming after your puppy. (That story has a better ending... Source

James attended this past weekend’s anti-lockdown protests in London with Reclaim mayoral candidate Laurence Fox and managed not to get arrested. But how many people were in attendance is certainly up for debate, and debate is what James and Toby do. Who is the biggest impediment to getting the adult population of Europe vaccinated? Is it people like our intrepid duo or is it really “leaders” like... Source

We took a ride on the Technical Struggle Bus this week. Someone was throwing some electrical interference James’ way (we think MI-5 has finally caught up to him) and Toby was coming in a little bit hot… Apologies in advance. But content-wise we have plenty of good stuff in here. After a small bit of self-congratulations (We’re Number Three! We’re Number Three!) we tackle the suspension of the... Source

What did you expect one day after CBS flooded our screens with Meghan and Harry and Oprah? Toby and James review the allegations, the whining and the greater themes of royal victimhood and racism. Then they’re on to Laurence Fox’s entrance and Nigel Farage’s exit from electoral politics. (You can catch Fox on the Ricochet Podcast here or the video here.) And then we have a Covid update that casts... Source

This week James and Toby are naming names. James Corden, Graham Norton, Natascha McElhone, Peter Hitchens and, of course, Harry & Meghan. Could a couples therapy be in the offing between our hosts and Oprah? We continue weaving our way through the Bernard Cornwell oeuvre, talk a little French television (including Marseille with Gérard Depardieu) and Toby flips his wig – literally. Source

Congratulations to us. We have a podcast! Last week, due to some technical problems on Toby’s end we lost not one, but two attempts at production. This week we pulled out all the stops, put several redundant systems in place and, of course, none of it was needed. Go figure. After lamenting that which could have been, we’re on to the matter at hand: Monday was D-Day for the Johnson Government. Source

This week James “Scorched Earth” Delingpole and Toby “Forgive and Forget” Young square off about attacking all of James’ former allies (including Dan Hannan and Chris Snowdon) and in this week’s pandemic news, is “ Zero Covid” really a workable idea? Culturally we cover The Dig (Netflix), the story of the UK’s greatest archeological find at Sutton Hoo, the Israeli series Losing Alice (AppleTV+)... Source

This week James and Toby recount their doings in support of The Great Reopening… and the deeds of others, too. (Protests have erupted here, here and here.) Delingpole goes walkabout in his area of the country and comes away a bit disappointed, but others are fighting such as this Edinburgh shopkeeper or this salon owner in Oakenshaw who has racked up £27,000 ($36,888 US) in fines so far. Toby... Source

Oh, to be in England now that snow has come… as it wreaks havoc on the Delingpole household. Otherwise, everything is going “Great…” as in The Great Reset, The Great Reopening… The Great Revolt. There seems to be two kind of people in the world right now, the compliant and the rebellious. You can guess where our intrepid duo slots in. And it’s not in Davos. Of course nobody’s in Davos this year... Source

James and Toby open with a discussion of Christopher Snowden’s Quillette article on Lockdown Scepticism and the mauling the lockdown sceptic Lord Sumption has received since his appearance on The Big Questions, and Toby’s censure by the press regulator, Ipso. A special welcome to Conservative MP Neil O’Brien (or his researcher) who is now listening to London Calling and quoting things our men have... Source

The show takes a decidedly different tone this week as Toby and James seek to find common ground… er… a common sheet of ice in a cold, raging river of politics. There is a bit of talk of the news of the day, namely the disappearing act the Big Tech giants have pulled on Parler, but mostly it’s dinner parties in New York, seats in the House of Lords, and the ever-burning, sure-t0-divide question... Source

Disagreement over the lockdown has taken a decidedly different turn in the New Year. This past weekend Toby received a death threat in one of his email accounts and it was deemed that it was serious enough to warrant a police visit. He also got into a very public row with Conservative MP Neil O’Brien (Harborough, Oadby & Wigston). On the culture front, we find James watching (*gasp* Source

After upsetting the base last week our intrepid duo has called a holiday truce. We’re out of the trenches and playing footy in no man’s land. And speaking of desolate, deadly landscapes, the Government has announced an exit deal with the European Union. Britons are now free! (We know you’ll want to read all 1,255 pages for yourself…) Of course, you’re not allowed to leave your homes... Source

What’s the old joke? Oh, yes. “How can you tell when a politician is lying?” Answer: “His lips are moving.” Boris Johnson promised is quickly becoming a joke of its own. The problem is, no one is laughing. Especially Mr. Delingpole. After a contentious discussion about Mr. Young’s latest Spectator column and “The Great Reset,” they tackle Boris and his Tier 4 Christmas plans. Source

Toby is a busy, busy man. Hence it’s a London Calling Tuesday. We start this week with “The Great Reset,” aka, “Build Back Better.” Will the Technocracy have its way with us? Does the name Klaus Schwab ring any bells? James sees a dystopian future and Toby wonders why anyone would just want to destroy it all. Our weekly roundup on fighting the assault against free speech had a setback... Source

James has something he needs to get off his chest and opens the show by taking Toby, as the Americans would say, to the woodshed. As far as James is concerned journalistic curiosity is dead. Then it’s on to the major news of the day, the UK has become the first nation to give regulatory approval for one of the new Covid-19 vaccinations. Because of fast tracking, this vaccination has seen limited... Source

This week, James and Toby reflect on what it’s been like to live through a year of such enormous historical importance and whether their sense of humour has helped them get through it. Who’s really on the “right side of history?” Cancel culture arrived at Eton College, Britain’s poshest school, last week when a popular teacher was sacked for a video he refused to remove from YouTube that dared to... Source

This week on the UK’s Fastest Growing Podcast™ Messrs. Delingpole and Young get a little contentious. After reviewing the week’s Covid news they turn their attention to the US Presidential election and words fly. Words such as “Tesla,” “shotgun,” “fragging” and the “C-word.” Things get so heated the bleep machine gets pulled out. Crikey. On the cultural front this week’s recommendations include... Source

There’s been a shakeup at No. 10. Adviser Dom Cummings is out, as is communications director Lee Cain. So who’s calling the shots? Boris? Carrie Symonds? Klaus Schwab? And who’s that measuring drapes? The Young house is getting a rewire (and we hope renovations go better than it did in Chelsea) and the world seems to be getting a “Great Reset” much to the dismay of James and Toby. Source

James and Toby react to the PM’s presser from late Monday afternoon as Pfizer announces a 90% success rate in their Covid-19 vaccine and ask the musical question, “Why Can’t an Englishman be More Like a German?” And then, like everyone else, our intrepid duo has a take on the US Presidential election. One thinks it may be time for a tactical retreat while the other proclaims, “Damn the torpedoes... Source

It’s Election Day in the United States (kinda) and Toby and James discuss the bets they’ve placed on a Trump victory. On the domestic front they decry Boris Johnson’s decision to impose a second national lockdown and ridicule the idea that the UK is looking at 4,000 Covid deaths a day. Our intrepid duo then draw up plans for James’s book about his Oxford contemporaries: My Generation: The Worst in... Source

This week our show has a bit of Hitchcockian opening as James recounts his time with Strangers on a Train. That encounter leads us to the recent Dutch study on the effectiveness of masks that seems to have been left homeless – because “science.” Nobody will touch it. With the Presidential election just around the corner everybody gets a call to place their bets, a call that delivers a disturbing... Source

Tuesday evening the PM announced that the greater Manchester area would be given the Third Tier Lockdown treatment. And for Toby and James the one thing this situation has done is highlight the divide between England and the devolved nations of the “United” Kingdom. It has also highlighted the power struggle between the elected and the unelected in government, namely S.A.G.E. Source

On this week’s episode James and Toby react to the PM’s announcement of a second round of restrictions in the fight against Covid-19. There are now three levels of restrictions and – spoiler alert – there are no levels that are free from restrictions. So, we have more lockdowns and at what cost? Cancer specialist Angus Dalgleish recounted the suicide – of not one but two – of his colleagues in an... Source

This week on the UK’s Fastest Growing Podcast® James and Toby ruminate about the relationship between the English and the Scots and lament what the SNP has done to it – and that’s just the beginning of a very full show. What does Donald Trump’s Covid diagnosis mean to the US election and what’s more of a threat – disease or Big Tech? ( #DELETED: Big Tech’s Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and... Source

James attended Saturday’s anti-lockdown march in Trafalgar Square and tells Toby about the aggressive behavior of the riot police. The government’s contact tracing app turns out to be a real abomination and university students are now paying for the privilege of being locked in their residency halls with the threat of losing £8,500 (US$10,914) if they stray. Will they really vote Tory in the... Source

This morning in the House, the Prime Minister announced the re-imposition of the lockdown rules in England to avoid what he says is a looming second wave of Covid-19. Now, Toby and James wonder where it all went wrong with Boris and curse themselves for ever having invested any hope in him. Also, leading up to the big grouse hunt James discovers a better way to shoot and in a chilling anecdote we... Source

This year is like living in a zombie movie. Except it’s worse, because the zombies are running the country. Or maybe it’s The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, because someone has even taken over the usually reliable Home Secretary, Priti Patel, and they won’t give her back. The government has introduced “the Rule of Six” and is urging you to spy on your neighbors and turn them in accordingly. Source

Ready for the Second Wave of Covid? The one that may never come? After our weekly update from the Lockdown-Sceptic-in-Chief, James and Toby ridicule the idea that Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter protestors are street-fighting, working class rebels. In fact, they’re white, privileged, privately-educated members of the ruling class, which is why the police stand idly by and watch them... Source

James and Toby have officially passed the hero stage with their kids and are firmly entrenched as “the embarrassment.” The Delingpole lad thinks James is nothing more than a dancing monkey performing for his Twitter followers, while Toby reveals his daughter has changed her surname to avoid being associated with him. Meanwhile, there’s the latest news and culture to deal with. Piers Corbyn... Source

This week James reports in from an undisclosed location (his evil genius lair, no doubt) and he and Toby review the week’s doings, from the latest on the Covid lockdowns to the foolishness of the multi-culti wokeness of the BBC and their plans for this year’s Proms. We get their views on the Biden-Harris ticket (or is that Harris-Biden?) and the prospect of Donald Trump’s re-election... Source

Eighty years ago the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth stood alone against fascist tyranny – defiant and resolved to preserve their liberty. Now, all across the Anglosphere the citizenry is meekly abiding by all sorts of arbitrary and capricious dictates in the name of safety, including the postponement of elections. What’s happened? If the Johnson government has cocked up its response to Covid... Source

The time for the fall term is quickly bearing down on us and James and Toby are itching to get kids back in the classroom. But others aren’t so sure. Said the Prime Minister this weekend, “Now that we know enough to reopen schools to all pupils safely, we have a moral duty to do so.” Also on tap (literally and figuratively) this week: Getting back into the pubs, the new dating forum on Lockdown...

About yesterday… We didn’t exactly miss our Monday record date, we just missed Toby pushing the record button. Stuff happens. But we’re back for another go. And go we do. It’s not just a missed recording that James and Toby apologise for this week, it’s also having urged people to support Boris Johnson. The PM’s handling of the Covid-19 crisis has been appalling and now they urge their friend... Source

Everyone is back at their home base this week (barely) and James braves his way through the podcast, ignoring the terrific pain from the torn muscle in his shoulder. Toby wraps up his trip and recounts the procedure of getting the family home from Italy. Then it’s on to the news of the day and the implementation of the mask requirements in England. James tested the waters and then conducted a... Source

The view from the Young villa in Italy. This week on the UK’s Favorite Podcast (well, in the Top 100, anyway…) Toby calls in from Italy (complete with kids and traffic) where he tells James about his trip to Venice, which has been great because it’s been mostly tourist free. Back on the homefront, James takes great pains to walk us through yesterday’s anti-mask protest at Hyde Park. And we do mean... Source

James is back from holiday and has some suggestions for the Royal family: First, we need a new Order of Knighthood. Second, Harry has sent us all a hostage video and it may be time for an extraction. Exactly what is Meghan’s hold over the Prince? Let’s put this way, we Googled the “Shanghai Grip” so you wouldn’t have to. And what’s all this about? The cultural portion of our show reviews the new... Source

James was a bit jealous of Toby’s Covid-19 antibody test results last week, so he went to get his own – and that was after dropping more than a few quid on one just a couple months ago. But the results were so important James interrupted his holiday to share them with us. After those preliminaries, Toby enthuses about Hamilton (now streaming on Disney+) as the perfect rebuttal to the BLM/ Source

After a proper chastising for not being available until Wednesday of last week, Toby redeems himself through his work for the Free Speech Union – and the exoneration of an Isle of Man broadcaster. In the heart of this week’s discussion James and Toby tackle Cambridge’s hypocrisy on free speech. The academy is fine with backing Dr Priyamvada Gopal but not anyone that comes from the right of center. Source

James and Toby begin the show with the Free Speech Union‘s legal action yesterday against Ofcom (the UK equivalent of the FCC), and their decision to go after anyone that contradicts or questions the government on its Covid-19 policy. But the main discussion centers on the timidity of the Prime Minister – who still won’t accept that Covid-19 is on the wane. James thinks Boris is full of bluster... Source

Back before the election in December James and Toby worried about their fate under a Corbyn Government. Now the Cultural Revolution is back with a vengeance and the worries return, particularly if more left-wing college graduates lose their jobs. Also, should we shut down The Guardian because of its links to the slave trade and the row created by Boris’s new race relations tsar. And in the end we... Source

Toby and James were appalled by what they witnessed this weekend: Journalists applauding the mob that tore down Edward Colston’s statue in Bristol and the police that let them do it and excused them afterwards. What’s next? Hadrian’s Wall? Also, they start to go over the list of people who have now been cancelled for showing insufficient fealty to the BLM cause. Are you on the list yet? Source

Is Scotland Becoming North Korea? James and Toby discuss the latest authoritarian announcements of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon – or, as Toby prefers to call her, Nic Sturge-un. Also on the agenda: Is it now illegal to have sex in England? Who’s behind the riots tearing apart America’s cities? Why is Space Force no good? Source

Not long after breaking lockdown forced Neil Ferguson, the Imperial College boffin behind the Covid-19 death model, to be bounced from advising Number 10, the PM’s closest advisor, Dominic Cummings, was found straying from London himself. Now, James and Toby don’t think Cummings should resign for breaking lockdown, but his head should probably roll for backing the lockdown policy in the first... Source

This week the British bed-wetters are doubling down on the lockdown and Toby and James are thinking abut forming a new political party called the Dangerous Party for people who are pro-risk. Speaking of risk, the lads lead off with a recount of James’ near fine and/or arrest for committing an act of journalism as the constabulary questions his presence at the Speaker’s Corner of Hyde Park...

The American wit Will Rogers once said, “All I know is what I read in the papers.” And as far as James and Toby are concerned, ol’ Will wouldn’t have known anything about the state of the world today. Why is the mainstream media missing so much during this pandemic and why do you have to turn to obscure websites – like LockdownSceptics.org – to find out what’s really going on? Source

Right after we wrapped production on our last episode The Telegraph broke the story of the scandal that’s rocked the British Establishment: Professor Neil Ferguson, architect of the lockdown policy, resigned after being caught with his pants down with a married mother of two. So Toby and James are back in a Special Shagadelic Emergency Edition of London Calling, and the only thing we can say is... Source

As other countries and individual American States open up, Toby laments that his opposition to the lockdown, and his new website, LockdownSceptics.org, is gradually taking over his life. After a promising start with Brexit, James is starting to believe that this Government is the worst of his lifetime. And that’s mostly due to the PM’s early about-face in response to Neil Ferguson and his Imperial... Source

The longer the lockdown, the higher the skepticism, especially here on the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®. James and Toby kick off the week with another worldwide rundown of pandemic life – who’s opening up and who’s not – and the PM’s decision announced early Monday has produced a Delingfunk. James is looking for an exit destination and has the American South in his sights. Source

We open this episode with Toby’s work on lockdownskeptics.org and whether or not the faith we’ve placed in our scientific experts is well founded or not. Will BoJo – that’s Boris Johnson to you and me – recover his Mojo and end the lockdown or will he go wobbly? Toby is optimistic, but James isn’t. Also, James recommends The Hunt and Toby salivates over Too Hot to Handle. And then at the end of... Source

Toby and James celebrate the resurrection of their old chum Boris Johnson. But there are worries. Will his near-death experience make it harder for him to end the lockdown? And are there any hopes for NHS reform after this? Then there’s our usual cultural roundup including endorsements of Ozarks, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Thor: Ragnorock. And is it just James or is anyone else creeped out by the... Source

Speaking of pluses, there’s Toby’s new puppy, a Cavapoochon. She’s a cross... Source

Toby reveals that he’s every man the PM is – he’s sick as a dog, too. He may not make it to next week but he still wants the lockdown to end, especially in light of the way the local constabularies have reacted to the government’s directives. What’s the direction out of this thing? In the meantime, what should we do to bide the time? Anything on the telly? And to fill the void for our American... Source

On March 21st, in his Daily Mail column, Peter Hitchens asked the unaskable: Is shutting down Britain – with unprecedented curbs on ancient liberties – REALLY the best answer? “This is our future,” he wrote, “and if I did not lift my voice to speak up for it now, even if I do it quite alone, I should consider that I was not worthy to call myself English or British, or a journalist... Source

We are being responsible and maintaining our distance this week as Toby and James say the unsayable and wonder if shutting down the global economy will be worth it in terms of lives saved. Also, the Stasi-like tendencies of the Twitter social isolation police, Boris’s handling of the crisis and whether the pandemic will mean the end of man hugs. Toby hopes it will, James hopes it won’t. Source

On this week’s edition of the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®, our men revisit the COVID-19 Panic Scale from last week and find a reversal of circumstances (primarily because James thinks he’s already had it.) Compared to how other nations have attacked the problem of this pandemic, how is the Prime Minister doing? Has there been a U-turn or just a slight tack in strategy? And while we’re... Source

On a scale of how worried to be about Coronavirus, Toby is on three, but James is on eight. In fact, James thinks he’s got it.

Say what you want about our intrepid podcasters but they are real stand up guys. For Toby, he’s fresh from his smash debut as a stand up comic, for James… well, he’s lucky just to be standing up, having spent the last couple of days battling what he’s sure is some Chinese bioweapon disease. As for the rest of the show there’s Boris Johnson’s transformation from licentious hero to finger-wagging... Source

In the first true Brexit Era outing, James and Toby talk about their recreation of the famous VJ-Day kiss in London, as well as the BBC’s woeful coverage of the Brexit celebrations.
