Ep76. The Croissantulla Riots

October 26, 2026 · 1 h 24 min

Show notes

Mrs Timwintoncellectuals is back from his nuptial bliss and straight back into the guts of the kulturkampf as he and Pat walk through the wasteland of the last couple of weeks. From the Jordon Steele-John allegations, to endemic abuse and misogyny in politics right and left, to rising violence, to the absolutely cactus machinery of diagnosis that our media and political class use to make sense of all of this, the l*ds are at full throttle. Also, the French are copying Cronulla, the great revolution of the 21st century, Professor X is using mutants as cheap labour, and Australians are losing their minds because Pat has told them to stop reading children’s books.
As always, you are at the coalface with the B*ttlers, fighting a rearguard action against the forces of cultural Paulinification and the fight for the right to be idiots.

Sorry we’re late this week; Tim promises never to get married again.

Thanks as always to Dan “The Directorate” Dare for production.

Song is No Strain by the Southend Rainbows.
