A lighthearted and off topic epsiode recorded while E was off with covid earlier this year, where M, plus guests C and A talk about the british police, specifically why theyre so dreary, rabidly weird, and bad at posting.This episode was mainly recorded in January and is hugely late due to various totally avoidable delays caused by war, pestilence, and laziness. Also sorry this one
