Marina and Jemma have been away for a short break, unfortunately Britain hasn't exactly held itself together while they've been away.
In this Trawl, they tackle the racist violence that erupted in Belfast, why calling it a \"riot\" doesn't come close to describing what happened, and the politicians, pundits and social media moguls helping to fan the flames.
They look at the shocking media takes that followed, from attempts to justify the attacks to outright denial of what was unfolding in plain sight. Plus, why are anti-genocide protesters and Palestine Action activists facing tougher consequences than some of the people terrorising families in their homes?
There's also a tribute to the late David Hockney, whose life and work brought colour to millions, a roundup of the week's most jaw-dropping commentary, and a healthy serving of underrateds and pudding.
It's a heavy one. But some weeks demand it.
