  • Doing the Lord’s Work

    Puts into easily comprehensible—eloquent even—language the thoughts running through my head that, if I tried to express them myself, would come out sounding like frustrated screams.

    The entire Anglosphere needs more Last Orders.

  • Trite and milquetoast

    Soy, conventional establishment opinion presented as heterodoxy, the same formula one finds throughout Spiked these days. TDS strikes again – or perhaps Spiked is a fresh casualty of Farage Derangement Syndrome? Maybe it was always going to end this way. In any event, the world has changed: someone really ought to inform Spiked. If I’d wanted to listen to the (wet Tory) Spectator, I would have tuned into that programme instead.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leave gamblers alone | Last Orders
Q: Do you want to walk us through Gary Stevenson getting his ass handed to him on his own show?
The host and guest discuss how Stevenson's wealth tax arguments were dismantled in his Channel 4 documentary, highlighting how even critics acknowledge practical flaws and unintended consequences, such as capital flight and economic distortion.
What would you ban?
Q: What will be most unenforceable, the generational smoking ban or under 16s social media ban?
The hosts weigh enforcement practicality, leaning toward the social media ban as more difficult to enforce due to VPNs and evolving online platforms, though both pose policing challenges.
The nanny state can BOGOF
Q: Candice, are you mourning the demise of the buy one, get one free?
Honestly, I just think it's a form of puritanism. People who just, I promise you that are just people who have this aversion to indulgence.
The state we’re in, with Steve Baker
Q: Does Steve agree with Dominic Cummings on the state of the civil service and the grooming gangs cover up, as well as us being on the verge of mass rioting and civil war?
Steve expresses worries about the current state of civil discourse and the discussion around civil war, indicating a belief that we are at an inflection point, but he remains optimistic about social cohesion.
The truth about the Epstein list
Q: Are there not, I suppose, some questions hanging around this at the very least?
Yes, there may be questions about who Epstein was associated with, but the conspiracy theory is extrapolated from inappropriate links to the powerful.
