Welcome to the weekend edition of The Mark Steyn Show, which starts and ends with the lies we tell ourselves. Mark discusses the murder of UK MP Sir David Amess by a "British national" and finds himself recalling a sharp line from Kipling. There's a brand new edition of The Hundred Years Ago, and some thoughts on two significant if little remarked-upon areas of Chinese dominance in Mark's Mailbox and Last Call - plus a rare reprise from the music department of Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Steyn will be back here later with another episode of his current Tale for Our Time - Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey.
Tomorrow, Sunday, Mark (as he mentioned on air) will be presenting another audio edition of Steyn's Song of the Week. You can listen to the programme on Serenade Radio from anywhere on the planet at 5.30pm British Summer Time - that's 12.30pm North American Eastern.
