London Calling

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... Source

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... Source

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

Toby’s New Puppy James and Toby send their love to their old chum Boris, now in intensive care, and worry about the decisions the Government will take in his absence. Toby shares his new Twitter strategy and then it’s on to their usual culture reviews including The Tiger King, Unorthodox and the offerings at Disney Plus. 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. As of publication there’s been 373 confirmed cases in the UK and 6 confirmed deaths. Also on the agenda: Britain’s forthcoming green budget from the relatively unknown (but heavily ratioed on Twitter) Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, the no-platforming of former MP... Source

The Prime Minister’s partner Carrie Symonds is pregnant and the couple have got engaged, they have announced. This week on the ever-popular, growing by leaps and bounds, London Calling, James sneaks off to Bristol where he goes undercover disguised as a member of Antifa to attend a Greta Thunberg rally. Then James and Toby congratulate their old friend the Prime Minister on the news of his... Source

On this week’s edition of the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®, a house-bound James and enthusiastic Toby talk about the Coronavirus pandemic (and… shhhhh…. a little insider trading), compare Bernie Sanders to outgoing Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and assess his chances of beating Trump. Then it’s on to the Ministry of Culture and the fallout of the Harvey Weinstein verdict... Source

On this week’s edition of the United Kingdom’s Fastest Growing and Most Trusted Podcast®, James discusses with Toby his and his daughter’s adventures with the NHS in the A&E of his local hospital (that’s an ER for you Yanks), as well as the casualties of Boris’s recent Cabinet reshuffle. Then it’s up to Cambridge where Extinction Rebellion is protesting the destruction of nature by, uh... Source

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. Then it’s off to Boris’s ‘Green Conservatism,’ Prince William’s criticisms of the BAFTAs for being insufficiently diverse and whether the word ‘Empire’ should be dropped from the Order of the British Empire. Source

It’s short but it’s oh, so sweet. James and Toby are together in London to celebrate the United Kingdom officially ending their time in the European Union. Raise a glass boys! Source

James and Toby need to be careful on this week’s edition of the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast® because someone may be listening in… Yeah, we know, that’s the point. Still they argue about whether Boris is about to betray Brexit by giving Huawei the green light on building the country’s 5G cellular network and all that that entails. Our gents also take time to lament the resurrection and... Source

On this week’s edition of the United Kingdom’s Fastest Growing and Most Trusted Podcast®, the country’s true power couple, James and Toby, marvel at the Queen’s negotiating skills, who has proved better than Theresa May at facing down a hostile foreign power.

This week on the United Kingdom’s Fastest Growing and Most Trusted Podcast®, James and Toby discuss (what else?) the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s ‘conscious uncoupling” from the Royal Family and speculate about the source of Meghan’s power over Harry. Then it’s on to the lack of diversity in the Oscar and BAFTA nominations, their fair-weather Brexit friends and the untimely death of Sir Roger... Source

This week on the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®, James and Toby talk about their new hero Ricky Gervais and his latest turn as the host of the Golden Globes, as well as Qasem Soleimani, Harvey Weinstein, the Australian bushfires and why Gwyneth Paltrow should be the next leader of the Labour Party (because no one can sell snake oil like her). If you’re interested in Toby’s Free Speech... Source

Like a two-man flash mob of International Men of Mystery you never know when you’re likely to get an extra dose of Delingpole & Young. We hadn’t planned on a show until the New Year – but with stuff this good you can’t stop it, you can only hope to contain it. What brings our gentlemen to the mic? How about the mental state of Jolyon Maugham QC, the anti-Brexiteer, who tweeted about wielding a... Source

The Delingtree (James Delingpole Twitter) It’s our gift to the world! In this episode of the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®, James and Toby bring you loads of Christmas cheer. We start with the UK’s most famous Christmas tree (that barely fits in the Delingpole household) and more importantly, handy and manly tips on buying gifts for the wife. After a brief foray into politics... Source

Must. Not. Gloat. Oh, the heck with that. It’s an Election Special and James and Toby discuss Boris Johnson’s glorious victory. Brexit. Get it done. Source

In the first of two (!) episodes this week, James and Toby argue about who is better prepared for political imprisonment if Jeremy Corbyn wins the election. Both lay down their markers on the results, so place your bets. In other news they lament the fact that a BBC disc jockey has banned ‘ Fairytale of New York’ and salute their friend Greta Thunberg for being named Time’s Person of the Year. We’... Source

This week on the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®, James Delingpole and Toby “Tory Tosser” Young get sweaty and nervous about Britain’s forthcoming election. And with good reason: The Electoral Calculus Projections opened with a Tory majority of 72 and now it’s down to 34. The 12th of December is coming fast. They also discuss Toby’s unpleasant experience debating at Durham University and... Source

In America, we call them “Party Platforms.” In the UK they’re still called “Manifestos.” And if you’re running someone like Jeremy Corbyn, why not? This week on the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®, James and Toby dive into the buffet that is the Conservative Party manifesto, which Mr. Delingpole finds indigestible but Mr. Young finds tasty. But that’s just the main course. Also on the menu... Source

Last night was debate night in the UK and it was pathetic. James and Toby dissect the “girly-man” tussle between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbin on ITV’s “Tron” set, Nigel Farage’s separate appearance on the BBC’s Question Time and “minor Royal” Prince Andrew’s PR nightmare turn with Emily Maitlis. Then it’s off to the culture wars and real wars. We get reviews of Netflix’s new WWII documentary... Source

This week on the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®, James and Toby get right down to the task at hand. Mr. Delingpole eviscerates Mr. Young for being insufficiently conservative. Peace is restored when they move on to discussing Hillary Clinton and Greta Thunberg and finally, how do you want to go? After this podcast, you just might need a cigarette. Source

This week on the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast®, Toby worries that the Conservatives’ gaffe-ridden start to the General Election campaign could put Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street, while James remains sublimely confident of victory. Also, how will Greta Thunberg get from LA to Spain without flying? Why is the new season of Jack Ryan so woke? And are posh white men now a minority deserving... Source

This week on the UK’s Fastest Growing and Most Trusted Name in Podcast Punditry™ James and Toby discuss the deeper meaning of the latest DC movie, revel in the idea of the upcoming UK elections and ponder the death of an austere religious scholar in the Middle East. Source

James and Toby are hitting the new week in full stride after an extraordinary Saturday session in the House. Let us introduce you to the powers behind the Remainers: Lord Pannick QC (more on those two letters later…) and the man who has been described as “the cleverest stupid person in Westminster,” Sir Oliver Letwin. Is nothing going to get accomplished until there’s a General Election? Source
