    Migrant Crisis: Piddington Votes to Leave UK

    16/09/2026 | 23 mins.
    New podcast with just Dixon this week.

    I discuss Piddington voting to leave the UK, and whether the people there ‘deserve’ to have a huge number of migrants dumped in their village because the wider area is majority Lib Dem.

    I also look at the bizarre attacks on Sydney Sweeney, and why women are now praising a child murderer, whilst attacking a woman for doing a fairly standard risqué advert.
