John joins Jazza and Jimmy to chat shit about the events of the week. Ill-informed but always having a giggle on the way.
This week the boys touch on the Lords vs Gideon “George” Osborne and the tax credit debacle, followed by an analysis of China’s one child policy, which is now a two child policy. What does that mean for the upcoming superpower?
Finally, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has been granted asylum in the EU. Or has he? It’s all very confusing. Will the Right Dishonourable make it less so? Let’s be fair. Probably not.

Further information on the campaign can be found in the infographic below, or on the campaign website. Unfortunately the consultation on the government’s proposals ends at 11:45 on Friday, so you had better move fast.

It’s a truth not widely acknowledged that a well-practised troll can appear identical to the extremist they are trying to ape.
That, in somewhat inaccurate terms, is a paraphrasing of Internet user Nathan Poe, who argued back in the heady days of August 2005 that:
