Nadine Dorries, Secretary of State at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport last week released the Government's Online Safety Bill, all 200-odd pages of it. Why is a bill designed to protect children and the vulnerable from online harms potentially utterly ruinous for freedom of expression online? Darren Grimes is joined by Victoria Hewson, Head of Regulatory Affairs at the Institute of Economic Affairs, who has pored through all 225 pages of this bill to tell us why she's seriously concerned by its contents and the predicted consequences of its contents.

Reform UK leader Richard Tice speaks to Darren Grimes about his new campaign for a referendum on the UK Government's policy of net zero by 2050, 'Vote Power, Not Poverty', a cross-party, grassroots campaign made up of activists from different parties. 

Popular YouTube content creator Arielle Scarcella speaks to Darren Grimes from Florida about the recent row over the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' Bill making its way into law in the state.

Darren Grimes and Harry Miller on a landmark judgement from the Court of Appeal that finds the recording of non-crime hate incidents as unlawful interference with freedom of expression. This is the news and why it matters.

Darren Grimes chats to talkRADIO host Mike Graham about media bias, Covid craziness and Boris Johnson's Number 10's party controversy.

Political commentator and journalist Suzanne Evans chats to Darren Grimes about government refusal to reject an Angela Merkel-style mandatory vaccine law, how Suzanne struggled during lockdown, the consequences of our Covid-focus and asks the question: do we need constitutional reform to secure better politicians?

Post-COP 26, the climate conference in Glasgow, Alex Esptein, author of 'Fossil Future', chats to Darren Grimes about what the conference actually achieved, the green cult, what anti-human green activists truly desire, why we need fossil fuels, an increase in interest from the UK in this debate and tackles a few climate change myths.

Since the murder of Sir David Amess, the MP, Islamic fundamentalism has been the elephant in the room. Laudable speeches have been made on the issue of combatting online abuse of MPs since then, but the issue of radicalisation and extremism has barely been discussed. Why is this? How do we have that conversation? What should be done about the threat of radical Islam? Joining Darren Grimes to discuss is the Executive Director of The Henry Jackson Society, Dr Alan Mendoza. 

Elliott Abrams served as deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security advisor in the administration of President George W. Bush, where he supervised U.S. policy in the Middle East for the White House, and as Special Representative for Iran and Venezuela in the administration of Donald Trump. Elliott discusses the Taliban Agreement with Darren Grimes, why he didn't back it and why President Biden cannot blame President Trump or the Afghan military, his view on the West's responsibilities when it comes to Afghan refugees, the security implications of large-scale movements and what will happen next in American foreign policy and in Afghanistan.

Darren Grimes discusses with Colonel Richard Kemp the speed at which the Taliban have taken Afghanistan, an unrepentant US President arguing that the US was never in Afghanistan for nation-building, a UK parliament that's due to discuss this very issue with Downing Street recalling it and all as we witness shocking scenes in which Afghan people cling on, grasp onto the side of planes, deciding that dicing with death is better than staying in Afghanistan under the Taliban. The pair take you through all of the veteran's predictions for what will happen next.

Spectator columnist and lifelong Liberal Democrat Nick Tyrone chats to Darren Grimes about the shock overturning of the Conservative Party's majority in the leafy seat of Chesham and Amersham, what does it mean, if anything for the future of British politics? 

With a daily slew of whackery & wokery making the news, Darren Grimes argues that it's easy to feel despondent about the state of the UK.

Darren Grimes's Daily Digest on Richard Dawkins, Demi Lovato and China's new app for reporting those with 'mistaken' views.

Equalities Minister Liz Truss MP has said that she is pressing ahead with the Government’s commitment to ban conversion therapy in order to "protect LGBT people from these abhorrent practices." There’s a real concern that this would prohibit evidence-based therapy for children experiencing gender dysphoria, cases of which have exploded over the last decade. A petition has been created by healthcare professionals calling on the government not to criminalise therapy for vulnerable children. Here to explain why he supports the petition is James Esses, a psychotherapist in training who is working towards a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy. James sees regular clients for long-term psychotherapy and, crucially for his conversation with Darren Grimes today, has selflessly volunteered as a counsellor for the past five years, where he has provided weekly counselling to children and young people.

2020 is considered to be pretty insane to many of us across the political spectrum, violent protests and riots with looting, burning and worse erupted after the death of George Floyd in May 2020 and American cities were transformed, from here in the UK, those of us scrolling through our social media feeds would’ve been forgiven for thinking some of the scenes we witness were in the third world, not the world’s most influential and free nation-state. One radical group dominated that battlefield: Antifa. Self-described anti-fascists that deploy aggressive and violent tactics that have destroyed businesses and livelihoods under their banner. Will they stop now that Joe Biden is in the White House and their favourite bogeyman: Donald J. Trump, has gone?  My guest today understands Antifa better than most. During the summer of 2019, Andy Ngo was brutally beaten by the group members whilst on journalistic assignment at a rally in Portland in the US. His new book ‘Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan To Destroy Democracy’, Antifa is trying to stop being sold in bookshops, has been propelled to the top spot for weeks before its February 2nd release date. A rarity, as the Washington Examiner says, for books not penned by long-time authors and presidents.

Darren Grimes' guest today has a new book out next month, ‘Free Speech and Why It Matters’, which will be published on February 25th. The book comes at a time when the democratically elected President of the US can be kicked off of social media platforms, when banks that used to provide loans to his businesses shut off access to their capital and the new social media Twitter alternative, Parler, loses access to its hosting platform via Amazon Web Services. All of these things suggest there's a real problem when it comes to the new, de facto public square. In realising that we have a problem my guest argues that a new form of social justice activism, which perceives language as potentially violent, has prompted a national debate on where the limitations of acceptable speech should be drawn. So where should they be drawn and how do we go about doing it? 

That guest is of course Andrew Doyle, the writer, comedian and good friend of Twitter legend Titania McGrath. 00:00 - Welcome from Darren Grimes 02:15 - Why we need a book on the importance of free speech 06:35 - Andrew Doyle's religious upbringing 09:45 - How religious are today's social justice movements? 14:51 - Why Andrew reads his Twitter replies 21:40 - The 'gaslighting' around Parler and 'far-right' accusations 33:08 - How do free speech advocates tackle 'disinformation' 37:55 - Does Andrew Doyle still identify as 'Left wing'? 40:44 - Being obsessed with identity politics isn't 'Left wing' 53:27 - Will Titania McGrath place us in the gulags soon? 57:57 - Why we all need to fix the bravery deficit 01:05:34 - Closing remarks Buy Andrew's book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Free-Speech-Why-Matters/dp/034913538X Follow Andrew on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewdoyle_com ****** To make sure you never miss a single Reasoned video, click here to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX469QlvW5gdPCMek-d-kuQ?sub_confirmation=1 Reasoned Conversations with Darren Grimes is also available as a podcast on all good podcast platforms: https://audioboom.com/channels/5028757 Reasoned is fan-funded through monthly and one-time donations: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-fund-and-grow-reasoned ****** Follow Reasoned on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReasonedUK Follow Reasoned on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ReasonedUK Follow Reasoned on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ReasonedUK Follow Darren on Twitter: https://twitter.com/darrengrimes_ Follow Darren on Facebook: https://twitter.com/thedarrengrimes Follow Darren on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/darrengrimes_

What will the legacy of President Donald J. Trump be? Has Trump changed the Republican Party? Is there anything in the argument that Trump wasn’t fighting on a level playing field in the 2020 election? What should we make of big tech’s censorship of the democratically elected leader of the free world and, finally, what should we make of the hypocrisy of those who kept silent, or even endorsed violent protest last year, suddenly arguing that America now finds itself in the throes of fascism?

talkRADIO, the fastest growing radio station in the United Kingdom, which hosts popular commentators like Julia Hartley-Brewer, Mike Graham and Dan Wootton, have had their YouTube channel removed. Reports suggests it's because they offered a platform to journalists and experts who questioned the efficacy of the UK’s lockdown strategy.  Victoria Hewson, Head of Regulatory Affairs at the Institute of Economic Affairs, explains how, far from government intervention being the solution, it is government that is much to blame for the suppression of dissenting voices and opinions via no-platforming of alternative outlets on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. ****** To make sure you never miss a single Reasoned video, click here to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX469QlvW5gdPCMek-d-kuQ?sub_confirmation=1 Reasoned Conversations with Darren Grimes is also available as a podcast on all good podcast platforms: https://audioboom.com/channels/5028757 Reasoned is fan-funded through monthly and one-time donations: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-fund-and-grow-reasoned ****** Follow Victoria on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MissVHewson ****** Follow Reasoned on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReasonedUK Follow Reasoned on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ReasonedUK Follow Reasoned on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ReasonedUK Follow Darren on Twitter: https://twitter.com/darrengrimes_ Follow Darren on Facebook: https://twitter.com/thedarrengrimes

Matthew Lesh of the Adam Smith Institute on why the Government should introduce a United Kingdom Free Speech Act modelled on the First Amendment of the USA. Existing laws, as applied, Matthew argues, have created categories of “speech crimes” for offensive but otherwise benign political speech. There is mounting evidence that existing law is capable of being applied, and is actually applied, in an overbroad fashion which was not contemplated by its drafters.  e.g. the treatment of Darren Grimes in June of this year.

Reasoned's Darren Grimes brings you the news, views and opinion of the week. This week's show features a look at the fall from grace of our cultural elites in believing everything award-winning 'journalist' Carole Cadwalladr has said, after being exposed in court by Brexit campaigner Arron Banks!

Thirty years on from her resignation, Margaret Thatcher is back in the press thanks to Gillian Anderson’s portrayal of her in the Netflix smash hit, The Crown. But just how accurate is it? What were the similarities between Her Majesty The Queen and Margaret Thatcher? What were the disagreements?

Thirty years on from Margaret Thatcher's resignation from Number 10 Downing Street, Gillian Anderson's portrayal of the Iron Lady in the Netflix smash hit, The Crown, has placed her back into the global conversation.  Economist and Director of the Adam Smith Institute, Dr Eamonn Butler, explains how, whilst Margaret Thatcher's medicine might well have been tough for the patient, Margaret Thatcher did indeed save the United Kingdom from almost terminal decline under socialism.

The Director of the Adam Smith Institute and renowned economist, Dr Eamonn Butler, on how the Chancellor can set Britain free to go for growth!

Boris Johnson has decided that his government shall worship at the altar of green, putting in place a petrol car ban by 2030 and a ten point green industrial strategy. Is this a mistake? Best-selling author Matt Ridley thinks so. Whilst, as Matt admits, both working class voters and the more affluent have concerns for the environment, he reckons that is likely to change if Boris Johnson’s green agenda starts to hit his new voters in the pocket.  Will those without a middle class safety net, who could face finding it difficult to purchase cheap meat, holidays, vans and energy in the future, be quite miffed about losing these gifts of modern progress?

Professor Nigel Biggar on reminding ourselves of what's good about the United Kingdom, the philosophy that ought to guide the Conservative Party, attempted cancellations at Oxford for telling the truth about the British Empire and just why does the Left keep losing elections but ultimately winning power anyway? Professor Nigel Biggar is Regius Professor of Moral & Pastoral Theology, and Director of the McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics, & Public Life at the University of Oxford. He's in conversation with Reasoned UK's Darren Grimes. Please do consider leaving a review and sharing this podcast if you enjoy it.

Award-winning author and political commentator Helen Dale takes Darren Grimes through her views on cancel culture, big tech, solving the migrant crisis, Dominic Cummings and the ongoing political realignment. 

Michael Shellenberger and Christopher Barnard on why it's immoral and irresponsible for vested interests to terrifying our children over the end of the earth, why nuclear energy will solve most of our climate-based issues and how to sell capitalism as our saviour to the next generation.  Michael Shellenberger is a Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment”; the winner of the 2008 Green Book Award from the Stevens Institute of Technology’s Centre for Science Writings and an invited expert reviewer of the next Assessment Report for the Invergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He’s also the author of the new book I have here: Apocalypse never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All. Christopher Barnard is the Policy Director of the American Conservation Coalition and the founder of the British Conservation Alliance which is dedicated to empowering the next generation to engage with the principles of pro-market environmentalism and conservation.

The Free Speech Union launched in February this year and boy, oh boy, I think it’s safe to say that even back then it’s hard to imagine just how necessary the Union would become in the fightback against a daily deluge of censorship, police intervention and general madness. Darren Grimes argues that with each passing day it becomes clear that it’s not just figures, like himself, on the conservative right, that are the victims of witch hunts and in need of a union to defend them, but increasingly figures on the Left too. What can be done? What can we do about biased big tech? About non-crime 'hate'? Darren and Toby discuss the issues.

In June 2020, barrister Sarah Phillimore noticed that an anonymous Twitter account was boasting that she now had a 'record for life' of  her 'hate' as her tweets on Twitter were now recorded by the police as 'hate incidents' under what was then the 'Hate Crimes Operational Guidance'. According to this guidance, the police must record what anyone tells them about being a victim of 'hate' - you can even make a report on behalf of someone else that you think is victim! The police aren't allowed to question the motives or the rationality of the person reporting. 'Hate' is given a very wide definition, to include 'dislike' and 'unfriendliness'. This is the stuff of a Stasi-like police state, with informants and a society that turns against each other, Sarah is asking you for your support to challenge the guidance on police reporting of 'non-crime hate incidents', check out her case on CrowdJustice.

Tom Hunt MP was told by Suffolk Constabulary it had “received five complaints” over comments he made about criminals – and that officers were under an obligation to record them. According to the Telegraph, the police in England and Wales have investigated and recorded 120,000 ‘non-crime hate incidents’ in the past five years. That’s more than 65 people a day being interviewed for such heinous crimes like liking a tweet that offends the wokerati. Once that’s on your record, it shows up on an enhanced DBS check, which means you might not be able to get a job as a teacher or a carer. The MP is now raising awareness, as is Darren Grimes, to try and seek reform of the reporting of these 'non-crimes' on the records of Brits up and down the country Tom argues that for this to continue will have a "chilling effect" upon debate and speech. He also argues that, far from fearing Nigel Farage and Laurence Fox, the Conservative Party should collaborate with the pair on culture war issues.

Julia Hartley-Brewer is a journalist, broadcaster, after-dinner speaker and awards host, whose fantastically succesful talkRADIO Breakfast Show has proven how influential the airwaves and speech radio can be in shifting the dial and provoking debate – Julia's views on lockdown are no exception – listen to the interview to find out what made Julia change her mind as someone who originally backed the Government. The pair also discuss Julia's vote for Sadiq Khan in 2016, why feminists need to reenter the battlefield against radical activists who seek to render the term woman meaningless, what the french commitment to enlightenment values says about them during a slew of barbaric terrorist attacks and why the UK should simply say no to those who wish to paint our nation as a racist backwater.

Dennis Prager is a radio show host, a New York Times best-selling author, a columnist, an orchestra conductor and, crucially for Darren Grimes' introduction to the man, Dennis is the founder of PragerU. PragerU is the fantastically successful YouTube channel that has amassed billions of views and has had such an impact that not only did Darren launch Reasoned UK inspired by PragerU, but big tech seems absolutely desperate to shadow ban, restrict and outright censor its conservative content. The pair discuss everything from the lack of a moral compass in the Left, how to solve the problem of big tech censoring conservative content, the God-shaped hole that is evidenced across the secular West, how we can stop the bravery deficit by remembering the courage of our ancestors and why there's no such thing as being 'totally safe'.

Chairman of the Brexit Party, which has made an application to the Electoral Commission to change its name to Reform UK, Richard Tice, speaks to Reasoned's Darren Grimes about the move. Tice argues that Reform UK believe that Brexit wasn't the only reform our country needs, they've a long list, the first priority is to oppose the Government on lockdown, which the party argues is having a profound impact on businesses, livelihoods, the mental health of the nation and much else. Tice says Reform UK will argue for a pro-Britain recovery.

Laurence Fox chats with Reasoned's Darren Grimes about The Reclaim Party, his on-air scrap with Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, big tech censorship, saying no to activist education in our schools and workplaces, charity and forgiveness and how the Reclaim Party will aim to be at the forefront of the battle in standing up for reclaiming the UK's cultural inheritance against those who simply do not wish our nation well.

GOP expert Sarah Elliott, of Republicans Overseas UK, offers her take to Darren Grimes on why we ought to look beyond the polls at the Shy Trump voter after months of rioting wreaking havoc throughout the United States; what the UK-US relationship would look like under a Biden Presidency; big tech’s assault on anti-Biden press reporting and why she’s so passionate about the case for Donald J Trump.

Darren Grimes is joined by the former leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies MS, the Member for South Wales Central. Darren discusses with Andrew why he's opposed to what are the toughest coronavirus restrictions in Europe. The Labour-led Welsh government reckon this is a temporary 17-day “fire break” lockdown, Andrew isn't convinced.

Reasoned's Darren Grimes is joined by Mark Reckless, a former MP and MS for South Wales East and the Abolish The Assembly Party, as well as a lawyer and economist. Mark hit the news over the weekend as it was announced he’s left the Brexit Party, concluding that that Party has reached its goal of leaving the EU, he’s now seeking to give a voice to those opposed to devolution in Wales. Why is this? Why would Wales vote to abolish its parliament and roll back the ever-encroaching tide of devolution? Darren explores.

Joining Reasoned's Darren Grimes is Francis Hoar, a barrister who is instructed in two legal challenges against the UK Government’s Covid-19 ‘lockdown’ regulations. Francis is arguing for some much-needed rationality, objectivity and proportionality for the millions that lockdown will have, with breakneck speed, sent into a life of misery and ruin. Can Lockdown be overturned in court by the two legal challenges he's been instructed on? Watch to find out.

Dr Keri Nixon is a Consultant Forensic Psychologist and Director of Nixon Consultants Ltd. She is an expert in forensic risk assessment, domestic abuse and trauma. Dr Nixon holds a PhD in Forensic Psychology, awarded by the University of Liverpool, a Master’s degree in Forensic and Investigative Psychology and a BSc in Applied Psychology. Reasoned's Darren Grimes quizzes Dr Nixon on the lockdown's impact on everything from mental health to domestic violence. 

Cultural conservatives have long argued that the decline in the teaching of history would lead to mass ignorance, but could anyone have really predicted it would lead to a rise in cultural revolutionaries? Darren Grimes argues that it seems like each week now there’s new assault on British history; on our statues, our culture, the BBC Proms – you name it, they want it gone – why is this happening and what can we do about it? To answer those questions Darren is joined by Peter Whittle AM, a member of the London Assembly and the Founder and Director of the New Culture Forum, he is also joined by Emma Webb,  the Director of The Forum on Integration, Democracy and Extremism which is a part of the Civitas think tank.

Reasoned's Darren Grimes enjoys a really inspiring chat with Nick Buckley MBE, the founder of a charity which he set up at the end of 2011. Nick funded the charity for the first two years himself, using redundancy money and his personal savings, working full time for free at this point. Over 9 years the charity grew to employ 20 staff, managing two community centres, supporting homeless individuals off the streets and into jobs, working on the streets a dozen times a week to engage and support young people to make positive choices and improve their own life outcomes. The pair discuss how to boost the life chances for kids up and down our country, how to stand up for yourself when the mob comes for you and the current crisis caused by the vacuum in political leadership and statesmanship.

Education is very much at the forefront of all of our minds, whether that be in discussions on the impact of lockdown on divides and inequalities, mask-wearing in schools, how we should approach mask wearing, how we can close the gap between private and state education and with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement across much of the West, how should we approach teaching history in our schools? Joining Reasoned's Darren Grimes to discuss is a headmistresses at the free school Michaela, Katharine Birbalsingh, who Darren says makes his heart sing, discusses why she champions traditional school standards – with discipline and a belief that every single child matters as an individual in her school.

Ahead of rulings both in the UK and the USA, rulings that will decide the future of the app-based cab-hailing app, Darren Grimes explores if the app and the wider gig economy itself is worth saving. Does Uber empower its drivers, offering them flexible working hours and freedoms and liberties that simply aren't available in contracts offering full-time employment? Or does Uber exploit its workers in not paying holiday or sick pay as well as other benefits? Joining Darren to discuss is Mark Littlewood, Director General of the Westminster-based think tank, the Institute of Economic Affairs.

Joe Biden has selected Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, ending months of speculation that the former California attorney general and one-time Democratic presidential candidate would join his ticket. What does this mean for the debate in the States? Does this improve Biden’s chances in the upcoming election? Does this drag the Democrats' platform further to the Left? Senator Harris has argued that she believed the women who stepped forward to say Biden made them uncomfortable with unwanted touching, what has changed there? And finally, what will a Biden presidency look like for the United Kingdom? Joining Reasoned's Darren Grimes to discuss is Glaswegian writer Madeline Kearns from the National Review, a conservative-leaning magazine in the States.

Darren Grimes asks the experts on relationships and human psychology: why do we keep getting marriage wrong? Why is loneliness on the rise? How can we sell the institution of marriage to a generation that believes it to be too much like hard work and what role does technology play in our expectations of marriage? Tod Jacobs is Director of the David Robinson Institute for Jewish Heritage in Jerusalem, which he co-founded in 2005 and Peter Lynn has served as Dean of Students at the David Robinson Institute for Jewish Heritage since its inception. For over a decade, Tod and Peter have worked together in the area of marriage and in their book. Not A Partnership: Why We Keep Getting Marriage Wrong & How We Can Get It Right, they impart with a deep collective knowledge of relationships and human psychology.

LBC presenter Iain Dale takes Reasoned's Darren Grimes through his new book 'Why Can't We All Just Get Along...'. In an age of Twitter, our political climate is more fraught than ever, Iain has an important message in his book – and it's how we can all learn to disagree better.   The book is also part-memoir, Darren asks Iain to take him through some of the deeply personal anecdotes contained within the book and the lessons learned from those experiences.

Reasoned’s Darren Grimes chats with Murdo Fraser MSP, Member of the Scottish Parliament for Mid Scotland and Fife about the problems with Scotland’s Hate Crime Bill.  Murdo warns that the row over author JK Rowling's views on transgender issues is just one example of many of the sort of debate and speech that would result in a police inquiry under the Bill.

Reasoned's Darren Grimes chats with Conservative MP Andrea Jenkyns about BBC plans to, from August 1st, make the over-75s who are not in receipt of Pension Credit pay for a TV licence. Andrea describes the plans as “completely ludicrous”, argues the BBC is reneging on their pledge to our pensioners and reads out some comments from concerned constituents who rely on their television set. There's a real social justice case, Andrea says, for decriminalising non-payment of the BBC's telly tax. The pair also discuss Brexit, the colleagues who still have not forgiven her for refusing to be loyal to Theresa May, Boris Johnson's plans to slim the nation and Marxist attacks on our values and our history.

Calvin Robinson is a teacher who appeared on Good Morning Britain to argue that influential black figures throughout our history are already part of the curriculum in our schools, he was told he was wrong, he wasn't. Calvin tells Reasoned's Darren Grimes that the Black Lives Matter Marxist activists are less keen to allow our children to learn from our history and keener on building up a distorted narrative on what Britain is. Calvin argues that, instead, the UK's children should learn a balanced view of history and how, in a country that enjoys excellent race relations, there is much more than unites us than a historical analysis that seeks to divide us.

Darren Grimes of Reasoned speaks to author, Director of the Good Governance Project and former MP, Douglas Carswell.

Dr David Starkey, TV historian and political commentator, takes Reasoned's Darren Grimes through the scholarship (or lack thereof) behind Black Lives Matter. Dr Starkey argues, as he did recently for The Critic Magazine, that the political movement behind Black Lives Matter (far removed from the laudable slogan), aims to delegitimate the whole of British history. As well as allowing the interview to take a personal note whilst discussing cancel culture at his alma mater, Cambridge University, Dr Starkey concludes that, despite all of the current craziness and chaos, he's optimistic for Britain's future.
