    Election called

    Election called

    Rishi Sunak has called a general election for the UK on 4 July 2024.
    Join us on this special episode, as we start to cover the first UK general election since this show started.
    We look at the optics of the announcement and discuss the process of UK elections. This is just a lay person's interpretation of what's about to happen, but Paul is excited nonetheless.

    Poop Transfers

    Poop Transfers

    Paul made Phylecia watch Finland's Eurovision entry before the show. She was not prepared.
    Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nidDtyS0Wo
    The 2024 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest turned out to be a bit of a Euroshambles in the end with boycotts, disqualification, booing and a suggestion of dodgy televoting.
    This modern day propaganda technique is having an impact on culture and audiences across the divide. Can we escape it? Probably not. We discuss what's happening in the Republic of Georgia and many examples of governments wanting to prevent 'foreign' involvement of their media. What are they scared of?
    In other interesting journalism, a woman received a fecal transfer from her brother to solve her IBS symptoms and how has acne like him. What makes someone do this? How does that conversation go? Why are there so many unanswered questions in the article?
    https://www.businessinsider.com/woman-diy-poop-transplants-got-brother-acne-fecal-microbiota-transplant-2024-5
    Would Paul be prepared to donate his poop to Phylecia and what would she start to suffer from as a result? These are the important questions.

    Rap Battles

    Rap Battles

    UK Labour's victory in the local elections pretty much guarantees there's no general election any time soon.
    We get a HEM bookclub update from Phylecia on the new cold wars at play and learn more about what's happening that we don't know about. We also worry that Phylecia is being sucked into a deep hole from which she will not emerge.
    What's this got to do with rap? Again, it's down to Phylecia to explain.

    The Irish are trying to send migrants back to the UK. Rishi is playing games with the electorate: will he or won't he call an election for July? Hurry up, Rishi, Paul is waiting!
    Phylecia is a bookworm and is scaring herself with knowledge about official secrets and what we're not being told - step away from the conspiracy theories!
    What are nefarious state actors doing to sow seeds of discontent? What has this got to do with elections and is the Biden campaign really getting OnlyFans creators to endorse the President?
