Sunday School: Villa of The Damned

from Quiet Riot · host Alex Andreou, Naomi Smith, Kenny Campbell

Should we be bending over backwards to welcome Israeli football supporters, while Israel rolls out the red carpet for English hooligans? ALSO - Is Rachel Reeves about to tell the country the truth about Brexit? Exclusive reasearch shows she would be wise to. PLUS - The nights are drawing in, so what are our favourite Autumn comfort foods? Alex and Naomi talk through the week's news. ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** “If police judge a match to be high risk, for whatever reason, there are often restrictions on away fans. It seems unfair to restrict just one group, but it happens all the time. In the case of Maccabi Tel Aviv, I think two things can be true: It is political AND has been politicised.” “I am a bit disappointed that we haven’t seen more leadership from Lisa Nandy. If there is one role for the Secretary for Sport, it is to be the bridge between society and political leadership and to articulate why sport is important for community building, both across borders and within a country.” “Badenoch seems to have two volume settings: “ten” and “irrelevant”. She has found no way to be relevant via content, nuance, intelligence, creativity, policy, nous, wit - the only way in which she ever makes herself relevant is by cranking the volume up to ten.” “Reeves was one of the sceptics and has completely come round in her thinking. Finally we have a gov’t who, instead of saying we will make a great success of Brexit, it is prepared to say: the economic effect has been terrible and we have to undo some of that.” “There is a lack of vision and leadership, for which politicians blame the electorate’s attention span. But you can’t run the country like a corner shop and then complain people only buy gum. That’s all you’re selling. Try to sell something bigger and more substantial and voters may surprise you.” “I love a mash-topped pie.” “Artichokes and peas are two vegetables that are better frozen.” CALL TO ACTION Best for Britain's Brexit Budget Report. Best for Britain's Substack - The Wire. COMFORT FOOD RECIPES! Recipe for Nigella's ⁠Chicken and Pea Traybake. Recipe for Vegan Chanterelle Risotto. Recipe for Fasolakia Yahni (Green Bean Stew).

Set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth, at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale, The Hobbit is one of literature's most enduring and well-loved novels.Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar.
