About
It’s not 1984 anymore but The Thought Police are everywhere. For better or worse Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan will be your consciences. But don’t worry. They’re not reporting back to the Oceania thought crime specialists, they are free thinking journalists on a mission. Two established talkRADIO broadcasters with big opinions, they will deliberate, masticate and ruminate over all the big issues. Covering everything from Covid to conferences, politics to papers and finance to football, no stone will be left unturned. It’s The Thought Police. We’re watching you.

119: A right royal pain in the backside

The Thought Police are back and there's only one story in town - Chris Whitty and his cronies. Why are they insisting that we will have to endure another lockdown when the vaccination programme is supposed to be the permanent way out of the COVID crisis? They also discuss the political scaremongering of the UK population...  ...oh, and there's also the small matter of that Harry and Meghan interview as well. Was Oprah the right person to conduct it? Is Harry hindered by his lack of intelligence? Does Meghan dress her husband? Is it really as big a deal as Diana? It's all there.  Plus, Kev lauds Fulham's win at Anfield, MG laments the need for school kids to wear masks and the pair discuss the American political system vs. the UKs.

89: Rocking the boat

Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan are back again a little worse for wear following MG's big birthday bash last week. But never fear - there's still plenty left in the tank as they attempt to set the world to rights. Today's topics include: why you should never supply your own booze, getting teachers back to work, the youth of today, why it's so important to get the economy back up and running, the boom in the housing market as people move out of the city, why Boris needs to get to grips with the UK's migrant issue, Keir Starmer's blandness, whether Andrew Neil could head up the BBC, the possible solution for dealing with migrants arriving on these shores and...who made the best James Bond.

88: The House of Frauds

Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan are back once more to vent as the Thought Police podcast rolls into town. Today's talking points are: the failures of lockdown, Track and Trace and virtually every politician, why it's impossible to enforce rules if you can't understand them, the shroud of secrecy about why we are still locked down, coronaphobia, the refusal of teachers to return to work, the useless Lib Dems, peerage issues (and Jeremy Corbyn's involvement), the House of Lords, Nicola Sturgeon's popularity, the current mood of the nation, football's lack of atmosphere, Boris Johnson's sex life, why some MPs have fallen out of favour, accusation culture, an apparent lack of journalistic credibility, Nigel Farage's nose for a scoop and the requirement for our leaders to show some backbone over the next fortnight.

87: You spoke...that's not woke!

Mike (Graham) and Kev (O'Sullivan) are back for a second week with the New European traveller Matt Kelly still otherwise indisposed. As the government continues to impinge on our daily lives whilst we're in the midst of a pandemic, the boys' frustration has reached boiling point.   Today they discuss: holiday plans being impacted by COVID-19, false information about the spread of the disease, whether progress is being made in the fight against it (despite what we're being told), Grant Shapps' plankery, pathetic excuses for not wearing a mask, the country being turned into a nanny state, losing five pounds to save the NHS, junk food adverts, spending our money on cycling, cyclists, bloody cyclists, the Tory government poking its nose in where it doesn't belong, protests in Portland, the dissolution of real journalism, the influence of the outspoken woke, people with absolutely no sense of humour and boring, belligerent barristers. It's the audio version of the rage room, it's the Thought Police.   You can follow the boys on Twitter. Mike is: @IROMG, Kevin is @TVKev and you'll find the podcast too: @ThoughtPoliceTP.

86: The Rant Pack

While Matt Kelly takes a much needed hiatus, Mike Graham is joined in the Thought Police think tank by his old pal Kevin O'Sullivan. If you were expecting sweetness and light, you've obviously forgotten what this podcast is all about. These two must have been waiting a while to get a few things off their chest as they launch into a furious rant about the last few months of lockdown including: the way the government has dealt with the coronavirus, shirkers not heading back to the office, why working from home isn't always good for you, the death of city business, ridiculous rules on Welsh buses, unfounded fears about things that probably won't happen, applauding particular bodies but not others, medical care in the US vs. the UK, not listening to the Bonking Boffin and why people can't be told what to do anymore.     They also discuss Matt Kelly and the ongoing success of the New European (miss you Matt!) despite Brexit going ahead, the notion of 'faith claimed terrorists', not being able to criticise the NHS (even though you should be able to), the seemingly unfathomable role of Public Health England, and why you should never trust an expert (or several). Stand by your (hospital) beds... the Thought Police are coming for you. You can follow the boys on Twitter. Mike is: @IROMG, Kevin is @TVKev and you can find the podcast too: @ThoughtPoliceTP.

Mike Graham and Matt Kelly reconvene as coronavirus-related lockdown continues to discuss the impact social distancing measures may have on kids, the idiots who are taking to the streets despite warnings and how other countries are dealing more severely with flouting offenders. There's also room for other matters such as the latest Labour gaffe, not being a local in an area full of locals, being caught out by intimidating language and the possibility of a Premier League return; oh and there's a Fleet Street story or two thrown in as well!

73: The lockdown low-down

Despite location restrictions, Mike Graham (in studio) and Matt Kelly (self-isolating at home - via phone) still manage to come together for a meeting of minds as they discuss the latest goings on with the coronavirus pandemic. How will the world operate on the other side? Why do certain people change their behaviour so dramatically during times like these? How have the government reacted? And what about those people stuck at home who really don't want to - or shouldn't - be? It's all discussed here, as well as a bit of (related) football, movie and celebrity chat as the Thought Police continue to keep their heads while the world around them are losing theirs...

56: Flogging a dead seahorse

Mike and Matt unpick a few more world events as they get stuck into how you categorise people who were formerly 'Remainers', the argument for a new centre-left to challenge Labour, falling out with those who don't share your politics...or your humour, colleagues who have used and abused their power, Boris Johnson's premiership and the mysteries of the deep...

53: What have we missed?

Mike Graham and Matt Kelly return from their holidays with a bang as they discuss their action packed sojourns abroad over Christmas and take a look at the busy news agenda as 2020 rolls in. Also up for discussion today is the brutality of social media, why it's wrong to judge a holiday brochure by its cover, why you need to make sure you have an expensive bottle at the ready when you visit MG's friends and that plank with the bat.  Follow the podcast on Twitter: @ThoughtPoliceTP.

Matt Kelly and Mike Graham are back for another sparkling edition of the Thought Police and today it's all about the changing landscape of local and national journalism. From months spent gathering information inside the walls of Buckingham Palace to days grinding away in the newsroom office, the times they are a-changing.
