Welcome to Season 5 — and say hello to your new co-host Isla from Criminally Good Books in York!
In this jam-packed first episode, Dee and Isla go full-blown true crime + emotional carnage as they cover the terrifying 1999 bombing spree that shook London to its core. But first, a few very important announcements:
🧡 Emma has stepped back from co-hosting (she’s still a Switchblade Sister for life and our legal consultant on speed dial)
📚 Isla from Criminally Good Books has officially joined the team, and frankly, it’s about time
🎄 Yes, Isla still has Christmas decorations up in June
🐷 Dee may or may not have tattooed a Guinea pig-adjacent animal from South Africa on her body
We dive into the horrifying attacks carried out by neo-Nazi David Copeland, who tried to start a race war using nail bombs left in Brixton, Brick Lane, and Soho, targeting Black communities, Bangladeshi Londoners, and the LGBTQ+ community in rapid succession. It’s grim, it’s infuriating, and it’s an important reminder of how easily hate spreads if left unchecked.
🔪 Bonus Segment: The Ink-Quisition We judge the Sugarbabes’ autographs, tattooed permanently on a heavy metal musician’s body.
Trigger Warnings: Bombings, neo-Nazism, racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and strong language (sorry Isla’s mum).
