What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

The lovely Rachel was back on the show today for another in-person recording. We got our teeth into the big news on the EU and conclude that people will probably like the passport stuff but hate the fishing. Then there's the Lineker news, first red card of his career. In the Patreon only we get irate about the suggestion that speed limits could come down to 10mph. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

So much politics since the main show I had to squeeze this out. From Gary Lineker sharing posts echoing the imagery of 1930's Germany to Keir Starmer being accused of sexism and sounding like Enoch Powell  in the same week. It's been a mad one!

Special episode this week as I chat to Andrew Doyle about his new book 'The End of Woke'. He's on great form talking about some of the mental stuff we've lived through, but also turning his spotlight on the cultural Right. We also have a good chat about Titania Mcgrath and his fictional character once got satirised as a real person by Private Eye. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Following the historic trade deal with the US that isn't a trade deal, I look into the facts and weirdness of the announcement. From Keir constantly calling him 'Donald' to whether it'll mean anything good for Britain. I also ask why Trump seems to be surprised that Britain has anything good going for it and why they did the whole thing on a Sky call from 2002.

Francis Foster returns this week for more sibling bickering (we almost had a punch up over films). We talk about Lucy Powell's horribly flippant remarks about a C4 doc on grooming gangs, plus how Labour were considering fudging their winter fuel snafu. In Donald world there are movie tariffs which threaten global production but I also get angry thinking about Harry Potter being made in Latvia.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

I check in with you guys to discuss a huge result in the Runcorn by-election. Turns out punching the public can only be done by John Prescott. I also discuss the Tories drifting into obscurity and why people don't care about Labour enough to truly hate them. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Bit of a change this week as I'm actually in a studio with Tom Walker (we definitely get a bit giddy at times as it's easier to interrupt one another in person). We talk about the upcoming local elections, including Labour's rubbishness, impending Tory doom, gains for Reform and no-one caring about the Lib Dems. There's also analysis of Trump's first 100 days in office, but mainly from the point of view of 'content'. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

This is a bit of a ranty one. I get my knickers in a twist over Ed Miliband being like a character from Despicable Me. Then I climb into Starmer for yet more shapeshifting. Then I have a right old moan about some women who couldn't bear to see their husbands having fun.CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

This week I'm talking to Ria Lina about how all of entertainment could learn a thing or two from choosing a new Pope. We also chat about the 'bombshell' MRP poll suggesting Reform could be the biggest party at the next election (and how much would Farage love bossing Tories around). In the Patreon only we look at the upcoming first 100 days of Trump and conclude that sometimes we should all be more Donald. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

In this episode I discuss the landmark ruling on the definition of female and the distinction with gender (I know! COMEDY GOLDMINE). I look at the judge's patronising summing up and the News at Ten's Tom Bradby spitting the dummy. I also talk about how politicians like Starmer continue to speak out of both sides of their mouth.CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
