What happens when dating apps need credit checks, festivals become retirement homes for millennials, and a man literally called Looney Tune gets jailed for shooting at police? Somewhere between satire and documentary, that's apparently our modern western life GOD HELP US. In this (second pre-recorded holiday cover) episode we spiral through financial red flags, the depressing mathematics of online dating, the slow death of festival culture - criminal matchmaking, and the creeping suspicion that nobody is actually driving civilisation anymore. Pour yourself a drink, lower your expectations, and enjoy another guided tour through a society that's somehow both absurdly over-engineered and completely falling apart.

It's another week of barrell scraping lows and god awful sh*tness. This time everything from flea infestations and the wild expectations of boomer parents to boot. One of Farage's Disciples wins the Tap Dancing Tosser award. And a teacher wins some jailtime for doing literally the worst things you can imagine a teacher doing.

Makerfield has HAPPENED. Keir Starmer is REVIEWING HIS OPTIONS. Trump's Peace Deal Is HILARIOUS. Tampa Bay dude went on a joyride and crashed into A POND. Capital Letters Are FUN!
It's another week of lowlights and spiralling despair, as we take a wee look at the usual array of crushing disappointments: this time actually weirdly it's not so bad. We've seen the World Cup kick off, which has been surprisingly positive for England. We've seen Andy Burnham (widely seen as a figure from the Labour Left) make a successful return to Parliament. Still not sure what that will actually shake out as for UK politics (for reasons i'll go into on the show). And Farage Fatigue CONTINUES! As Britain's Fash-Ribbeter In Chief suffers his third byelection failure in a row. What might this mean for his leadership and aspirations for No.10?

What a week. Where to even start with this? We've got Donald Trump going back over Groundhog Day once again. Ghana are making illegal to be gay?! Israel are in trouble for building into places that they shouldnt (I KNOW, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT). And disinformation runs riot with people mocking up deep fakes of Nigel Farage throwing fists at BoE Governor Andrew Bailey. Just another INSANE week on normal island.

On tonight's Friday night live show, we're taking a look at Andrew MOUNTY-B's latest nonsense (his daughters are getting a right cushy deal). David Lammy is taking absolutely no action to curb the rise of the Far Right and Disinformation. ALSO: Young Bob wins this week's tap-dancing tosser award
