About
It’s not 1984 anymore but The Thought Police are everywhere. For better or worse Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan will be your consciences. But don’t worry. They’re not reporting back to the Oceania thought crime specialists, they are free thinking journalists on a mission. Two established talkRADIO broadcasters with big opinions, they will deliberate, masticate and ruminate over all the big issues. Covering everything from Covid to conferences, politics to papers and finance to football, no stone will be left unturned. It’s The Thought Police. We’re watching you.

Time for some more common sense among the mass hysteria as Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan take to the Thought Police once again. Today they discuss: the BBC's woke new series and ludicrously gratuitous overspending, Gary Lineker's hypocrisy, tiered lockdowns across the country and why they are a waste of time, why waiting is sometimes better than doing, propaganda being promulgated in the press, the faults of the Track and Trace system, myths surrounding hospital bed capacity, the idiot who committed a lewd act on webcam, crunch time in the race for the White House and the importance of the floating voters, Jacinda Ardern's running of New Zealand, and those who work - or perhaps woke - from home.

87: You spoke...that's not woke!

Mike (Graham) and Kev (O'Sullivan) are back for a second week with the New European traveller Matt Kelly still otherwise indisposed. As the government continues to impinge on our daily lives whilst we're in the midst of a pandemic, the boys' frustration has reached boiling point.   Today they discuss: holiday plans being impacted by COVID-19, false information about the spread of the disease, whether progress is being made in the fight against it (despite what we're being told), Grant Shapps' plankery, pathetic excuses for not wearing a mask, the country being turned into a nanny state, losing five pounds to save the NHS, junk food adverts, spending our money on cycling, cyclists, bloody cyclists, the Tory government poking its nose in where it doesn't belong, protests in Portland, the dissolution of real journalism, the influence of the outspoken woke, people with absolutely no sense of humour and boring, belligerent barristers.

86: The Rant Pack

While Matt Kelly takes a much needed hiatus, Mike Graham is joined in the Thought Police think tank by his old pal Kevin O'Sullivan. If you were expecting sweetness and light, you've obviously forgotten what this podcast is all about. These two must have been waiting a while to get a few things off their chest as they launch into a furious rant about the last few months of lockdown including: the way the government has dealt with the coronavirus, shirkers not heading back to the office, why working from home isn't always good for you, the death of city business, ridiculous rules on Welsh buses, unfounded fears about things that probably won't happen, applauding particular bodies but not others, medical care in the US vs. the UK, not listening to the Bonking Boffin and why people can't be told what to do anymore.     They also discuss Matt Kelly and the ongoing success of the New European (miss you Matt!) despite Brexit going ahead, the notion of 'faith claimed terrorists', not being able to criticise the NHS (even though you should be able to), the seemingly unfathomable role of Public Health England, and why you should never trust an expert (or several).

81: The perfect accompaniment for a day trip to Durham

Mike and Matt discuss Dominic Cummings' actions in the reasoned and measured way they've virtually made their trademark at this point - did he flout the regulations? Was he in the wrong?

75: Keep your bloody distance

Mike Graham and Matt Kelly reconvene as coronavirus-related lockdown continues to discuss the impact social distancing measures may have on kids, the idiots who are taking to the streets despite warnings and how other countries are dealing more severely with flouting offenders. There's also room for other matters such as the latest Labour gaffe, not being a local in an area full of locals, being caught out by intimidating language and the possibility of a Premier League return; oh and there's a Fleet Street story or two thrown in as well!

73: The lockdown low-down

Despite location restrictions, Mike Graham (in studio) and Matt Kelly (self-isolating at home - via phone) still manage to come together for a meeting of minds as they discuss the latest goings on with the coronavirus pandemic. How will the world operate on the other side? Why do certain people change their behaviour so dramatically during times like these? How have the government reacted? And what about those people stuck at home who really don't want to - or shouldn't - be? It's all discussed here, as well as a bit of (related) football, movie and celebrity chat as the Thought Police continue to keep their heads while the world around them are losing theirs...

It's polling day - at last - and Mike and Matt are sick of the whole affair. On today's episode they try and predict the future without knowing what's going to happen, they bash politicians who won't give you a straight answer and they debate whether Brexit will happen. They also tangent into areas including celebrity endorsements of political campaigns, the costs of going through a divorce, trustworthiness among politicians, must-watch TV shows and facilities on trains.

44: Trust, backing and time - the making of a journalist

Matt Kelly and Mike Graham are back for another sparkling edition of the Thought Police and today it's all about the changing landscape of local and national journalism.

With Brexit supposedly only a few days away, it's the final battle between the Remainer (Matt Kelly) and the Leaver (Mike Graham). What starts out as a critical analysis of the latest Queen's Speech (and develops into a debate about whether Brexit really means Brexit) ends with more uncertainty than ever before.
