Grousing and Retiring

This week James and Toby talk about Anthony Fauci’s retirement – is he stepping down to maximise his chances of winning a Nobel Prize? – the fact that neither of them have received any invitations to go grouse shooting this year, the role of the vaccines in the rise in excess deaths, Finland’s dancing Prime Minister, Michael Gove’s departure from frontline British politics (which Toby rather regrets), and, in Culture Corner, Brilliantly Difficult, the documentary about their favourite cartoonist Bob Moran, 13 Lives, which isn’t as good as the documentary on the same subject, and Dombey and Son.
