On this week’s episode, Peter is rejoicing in the news that the clocks revert to true time on Sunday, whatever that might mean, and Sarah is asking why the hell we closed down schools during the Covid 19 pandemic and what long-term damage it’s done to our kids.

Plus, why does Sarah think politics in its current form is beyond saving, and why her dad had many, many accents. While Peter wonders if we’re seeing the monarchy’s endgame. 

On our reading and watch list this week: 

·      P.G. Wodehouse – Big Money

·      Peter Hitchens – Now Is Not The Time

·      Edmund Burke – The Evils Of Revolution
