Suffering From Long '90s

This week, Milo, Riley, and Alice explore the recent interventions of Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson into UK political discourse about 'what needs to happen in order for Labour to win.' We also make the mistake of thinking this is the free one, until the very end of the episode where we realize it's the bonus one. Sorry about that! We are, as ever, powerful thinkers.

Yeah it's not very complex to aid travelling people, you just need negotiated stopping places. The issue then is when you have someone who wants to sell something on that land or when someone has "concerns" about seeing someone living in a field. There's already basically a "noble traveller" sort of thing, that's what happens when people paint pictures of vardos and name themselves something like "gypsy princess" or sell caravan holidays in vardos or shit like this https://www.vardorestaurant.co.uk/

That “no future” line at around 19 minutes really activated my Lee Edelman streak, someone who actually knows abt these things could probably right a decent queer theory essay on that connection

Re Boris painting model buses: I always thought that he made it up so he could manipulate search engines into showing those stories instead of Brexit bus stories.

It's amazing how much Canadian columnists are just the Giant Tiger version of UK columnists.

Have we checked to see if Tony Blair sustains himself on the blood of the living yet?

Oliver Cant · May 29, 2021

Well, more than likely the blood of Children he required from Epstein, if nothing else.

I had pulled up the WTYP bonus episode and thought I had paused it, then started this episode was like, "Wow, Alice has a lot of cross talk about her wisdom teeth while Riley is talking."

Don't know who Peter Mandelson is but I'm sure he's going to be Smart and Cool given that he's paired up with pragmatic, electable Iraqi-immolator Tony Blair!
