And Finally…

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James Delingpole and I discuss his new diet, my new diet, my trip to Ibiza, the Spectator party, why it’s never wise to tell tales out of school, Bill Gates, the French riots, and, in Culture Corner, why James has grown bored of Bernard Cornwell and why we both still like Anthony Trollope.

Mole has heard The Call of The False Piper at The Bill Gates Of The Dead and understands it’s meaning.
