A special episode of #NCFWhittle, in which we speak to comedian & Comedy Unleashed compere Dominic Frisby, who has produced a special 10-part musical podcast of his father's adventures and experiences in the Second World War: https://kissesonapostcard.com/ This intensely moving musical by Terence Frisby tells the story of two boys in WWII. In 1940, to escape German bombing, Terry and Jack, aged seven and eleven are evacuated from their family in south-east London to a tiny village in Cornwall, where they spend the next four years. Full of surprising humour and memorable songs, this is a unique portrait of an extraordinary time in British history. “Enchanting, profoundly moving and delightful,” Charles Spencer, the Telegraph.

Half of London's social housing is occupied by immigrants, 31% of whom arrived here since 1991. Immigrants convicted and sentenced to prison are still entitled to claim "Indefinite Leave to Remain" if they keep out of trouble for 5 years upon release from prison. These are just some of the astonishing facts relating to the nonsensical manner in which immigration policy is conducted in Britain today. On this week's Deprogrammed, hosts Harrison Pitt and Evan Riggs are joined by political commentator Jack Anderton, who has crunched the numbers on the immigrant impact on social housing and public funds. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's Deprogrammed, hosts Harrison Pitt and Evan Riggs speak with NCF Director Peter Whittle about the New Culture Forum's latest book STATE OF EMERGENCY: A VOICE FOR THE SILENCED MAJORITY, to which Harrison and Evan also contributed chapters. Having sold out in its first 4 days, we're delighted to say that the book is now back in stock on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/State-Emerge... State of Emergency completes the trilogy of the New Culture Forum’s recent set of "culture war resistance" publications, alongside The Long March (2020) and Fighting Back (2022). This new publication is based on a series of ten pledges that in effect make up the NCF’s political ‘manifesto’, the set of things we believe must happen to save Britain from cultural obliteration. The pledges will be put in front of candidates standing across the nation in Britain's next General Election. By doing this we will be able to ascertain where those who seek to represent us truly stand on the future of our country. These ten pledges include an end to mass immigration, the abolition of the Equality Act (2010), a ban on blasphemy laws, prioritizing free speech over draconian hate speech laws, a ban on the teaching of contested ideologies, root and branch reform of the education and teacher training systems, etc. In State of Emergency, the pledges are backed up by a collection of essays which explore and explain the current situation as we see it, and which provide the reasoning behind each one. The problems this country faces are huge, but they simply cannot be insurmountable. We hope this volume provides inspiration for the millions who care about this country. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

On today's #NCFWhittle, we are joined by comedy legend Graham Linehan, best known as the creator of comedy hits Father Ted, The IT Crowd and Black Books, but also one of Britain's most prominent campaigners to protect women-only spaces and safeguard children against harmful surgery. Graham's latest book is Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tough-Crowd-... THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘A must-read. Funny and utterly compelling’ Jonathan Ross "Having cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd and Black Books, winning five Baftas and a lifetime achievement award. Then his life took an unexpected turn. When he championed an unfashionable cause, TV commissioners no longer returned his emails, showbiz pals lost his number and his marriage collapsed. In an emotionally charged memoir that is by turns hilarious and harrowing, he lets us into the secrets of the writing room and colourfully describes the high-octane atmosphere of a sitcom set. But he also berates an industry where there was no one to stand by his side when he needed help. Bruised but not beaten, he explains why he chose the hill of women and girls’ rights to die on – and why, despite the hardship of cancellation, he’s not coming down from it any time soon." https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tough-Crowd-Made-Career-Comedy/dp/1785633066 --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

"The organised 100 will always defeat the disorganised 1,000". "Just as fire drives out fire, so an elite is only ever driven out by another elite." So says Dr. Neema Parvini (aka "Academic Agent"), author of "The Populist Delusion" and, most recently, "The Prophets of Doom". A Senior Lecturer at the University of Surrey, Dr. Parvini is this week's guest on Deprogrammed, hosted by Harrison Pitt & Evan Riggs. "The 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump unleashed a wave of populism not seen in America since the Nixon era, which carried him into the presidency. Seen widely as a vindication of the people over elites, his failure to bring about any meaningful change was then seen as an aberration, a departure from a natural state where the people are sovereign and their representatives govern by their consent. This is the populist delusion. In his book, Parvini sets out to prove that the interests of the people have only ever been advanced by a tightly organized minority. Order The Populist Delusion here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Populist-Del... Order The Prophets of Doom here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prophets-Doo... The Prophets of Doom blurb: Linear and progressive views of history have dominated the popular imagination for the past seventy years in a worldview wedded to the inexorable rise of globalisation and GDP-growth at any cost. However, the end of the Cold War failed to produce the end of history as hoped, a fact brought home to many by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Material wealth and 'Progress’ in the name of ‘social justice’ have not made people happier or more united but quite the opposite. Anxiety, depression, fearfulness, sadness, loneliness and anger have all massively increased since 1970 with the male suicide rate at an all-time high. Western society seems to be divided against itself across every line conceivable: left versus right, women versus men, ‘non-whites’ versus ‘whites’, globalists versus populists, ‘the elites’ versus ‘the people’, people who think that men can be women and vice versa versus those who insist that they cannot, and so on. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe their country is on ‘the wrong track’, with similar views reflected in Britain and across Europe. The Prophets of Doom explores eleven thinkers who not only dared to contradict the dominant linear and progressive view of history, but also predicted many of the political and social maladies through which we are living. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

Nothing better epitomizes the gulf that now exists between the Conservative and Labour elite and their voters than immigration. So argues Prof. Matt Goodwin in this episode of Deprogrammed. He points out that the Conservative establishment have failed to understand that immigration is the second most important issue for Conservative voters, many of whom now find themselves politically homeless. The same applies to many Labour voters. Whilst there are smaller parties that have stronger immigration policies (Reform, Reclaim & SDP) these are not cutting through with the general public. As a result there is a huge gap in the market for a powerful new insurgent party to emerge - much as UKIP did. The Conservative Party meanwhile is failing to do the one thing that has ensured its survival through the centuries: re-invent itself. The current Conservative Party is not a serious party, Prof. Goodwin contends. It has no intellectual gravitas, its leaders and low-grade MPs are a pale imitation of the giants that once dominated the party and it is simply too out of touch with the needs and demands of its voter base. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

Our guest on this week's Whittle is Tim Dieppe, Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern and author of an upcoming publication on free speech & Islamophobia. Tim & Peter discuss "Islamophobia Revisited" (https://www.civitas.org.uk/publicatio... ), a new report by Civitas' Hardeep Singh. Tim reveals the disturbing ways in which criticism of Islam is being silenced. All Parliamentary political parties except for the Conservative Party have adopted a broad and "problematic" definition of Islamophobia which links it with racism and makes any legitimate criticism of the religion "Islamophobic". In Islamophobia Revisited, Hardeep Singh conducts a thorough investigation into how Islamophobia is defined by local authorities describing a ‘panoply’ of different approaches and definitions. In response to a large-scale Freedom of Information exercise, Singh discovers that one in seven (15.6 per cent) local authorities in England have adopted a definition of ‘Islamophobia’ described by the government as ‘not fit for purpose’. Singh finds 22.7 per cent of Welsh local authorities and 25 per cent of Scottish local authorities have adopted this disputed definition. The adoption of a disputed definition of Islamophobia has ‘taken on a life of its own’ according to Singh, who raises concerns over conflating race with religion and claims that ‘Islamophobia is a type of racism.’ Singh raises concerns over an officially recognised definition of Islamophobia, something he says ‘conflates race with religion’ across local authorities. Singh provides compelling evidence that not enough due diligence or scrutiny has been conducted by local authorities over their approach to defining Islamophobia as a form of racism, with concerns over free speech ‘largely dismissed.’ Singh claims the adoption of a disputed definition of Islamophobia prevents ‘an honest conversation about public policies relating to faith or religion, or basic historical truths’, and recommends that local councils do more to protect free speech and avoid critics of religion or religious practice being described as ‘racist’ and potential prosecution under hate speech laws.

"Brilliant Black British History" is the name of a new children's book which claims, amongst other things, that Stonehenge was built by black people and that Britain was a black country for a lot longer than it was white. This book is the latest in a long series of print and online publications to claim that black people have been a notable presence in Britain for a lot longer than the traditionally accepted mid-20th century. On today's Deprogrammed, hosts Harrison Pitt, a senior editor at the European Conservative, and Evan Riggs, freelance writer, are joined by Tom Rowsell, historian, filmmaker and youtuber at Survive the Jive: https://youtube.com/@Survivethejive Tom recently debunked a BBC children's "Horrible Histories" music video which claimed black people had played a leading role in Britain since Roman times.

Can the Conservative Party escape its existential crisis? On this week's #NCFWhittle we are joined by one of parliament's leading political thinkers, traditionalist conservative Danny Kruger MP, Conservative Member of Parliament for Devizes and sometime political secretary to then Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Mr. Kruger's new book is "Covenant: The New Politics of Home, Neighbourhood and Nation", in which he offers a thoughtful and rounded call for a conservatism that values family and community over self-interest and social atomisation: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Covenant-Pol... Kruger tells us that contemporary conservatism can easily be seen as a hollowed-out creed. Combining heartless free-market individualism with an unthinking social liberalism - or else simple authoritarian populism - it offers little to those whose sense of meaning is securely rooted in their families, communities and country. Kruger argues that we must restore the sources of virtue and belonging that underpin the good life by repairing the covenantal relationships of love and partnership that underpin our families, local communities and ultimately our country. We must, he contends, go beyond a politics based purely on individual autonomy, social atomisation and self-worship. By examining the most fundamental questions of love, sex, life and death, ranging from marriage to assisted dying, Kruger charts a course towards a conservatism that can respond humanely and wisely to the social, environmental and economic crises that face us. This riposte to both liberal orthodoxy and the authoritarian right is unmissable for anyone interested in British politics. It's a key contribution to the debate on how the Conservative Party can respond to its current crisis.

On today's #NCFWhittle we are joined once again by Professor Doug Stokes, Professor of International Relations at the University of Exeter, and author of the new book "Against Decolonisation: Campus Culture Wars & The Decline of the West". Following the killing of George Floyd in 2020, a moral panic gripped the US and UK. To atone for an alleged history of racism, statues were torn down and symbols of national identity attacked. Across universities, fringe theories became the new orthodoxy, with a cadre of activists backed by university technocrats adopting a binary worldview of moral certainty, sin and deconstructive redemption through Western self-erasure. In his hard-hitting book, Prof. Stokes surveys these developments for the first time. He unpacks and challenges the theories and arguments deployed by ‘decolonisers’ in a university system now characterised by garbled leadership and illiberal groupthink. The desire to question the West’s sense of itself, deconstruct its narratives and overthrow its institutional order is an impulse that, ironically, was underpinned by a more confident and assured Western hegemony, which is now waning and under great strain. If its light continues to dim, who or what will carry the torch for human freedom and progress?

On this week's #NCFWhittle we are joined by Alka Sehgal Cuthbert, Director of "Don't Divide Us - The UK's Common Sense Voice on Race". She discusses a new report by "Don't Divide Us" which exposes the third-party organisations that are promoting radical political beliefs in schools through EDI provision. Beliefs such as: * Britain is an institutionally racist country due to a selective account of its past * White people are privileged * Black people can only succeed if white people make space for them * Colour-blind approaches to inequality are not respectable beliefs * Impartiality in schools is a problem She argues that these groups operate in ways that avoid public accountability, political responsibility, and have very little basis in established academic/educational sources of authority. Any government that takes democracy, freedom of speech and tolerance seriously also needs to take education seriously.

He joins us to discuss his new book: "Gender Madness: One Man's Devastating Struggle with Woke Ideology and His Battle to Protect Children".

The discussion expands upon Evan Riggs' essay in the European Conservative in which he argues that "those of us committed to fighting back against the ‘woke’ must come to terms with the fact that only Christianity is potent enough to defeat the cult of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Non-believers need not convert, but it is time for us to get out of the way."

Can a woman have a penis? Is the West forever stained by racism? Are we all going to die from climate change? To the liberal establishment of London, New York or Sydney, the answer to all of these questions is ‘Yes’. And anyone who disagrees is a racist, climate-denying transphobe. Our elites have become convinced of some very strange and extreme ideas. And yet there is precious little pushback against them. Critics are cowed by the threat of shaming, cancellation, even arrest. The new orthodoxies of our age are risible, and yet the space for dissent is shrinking. We need more heretics. Throughout history, it has been those brave enough to puncture the prevailing groupthink who have propelled society forward. But they are in shockingly short supply today. On this week's episode of Whittle, we are joined by author and journalist Brendan O'Neill, who discusses his new book: A Heretic's Manifesto: Essays on the Unsayable. To order Brendan's book please see: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heretics-Man...

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, NCF Director Peter Whittle & Senior Fellows Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and Dr. Philip Kiszely discuss: * Prince Harry's court cases in the UK & USA * Oxfam's disgusting video depicting gender critical people including JK Rowling as evil, red-eyed devils * Lockdown report reveals lockdowns were a huge global disaster

On this week's #NCFWhittle, best-selling author & award-winning journalist Heather Macdonald of the Manhattan Institute discusses her new book: When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives. Does your workplace have too few black people in top jobs? It’s racist. Does the advanced math and science high school in your city have too many Asians? It’s racist. Does your local museum employ too many white women? It’s racist, too. After the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, prestigious American institutions, from the medical profession to the fine arts, pleaded guilty to “systemic racism.” How else can one explain why blacks are overrepresented in prisons and underrepresented in C-suites and faculty lounges, their leaders asked? The official answer for those disparities is “disparate impact,” a once obscure legal theory that is now transforming our world. Any traditional standard of behaviour or achievement that impedes exact racial proportionality in any enterprise is now presumed racist. Medical school admissions tests, expectations of scientific accomplishment in the award of research grants, the enforcement of the criminal law—all are under assault, because they have a “disparate impact” on underrepresented minorities. When Race Trumps Merit provides an alternative explanation for those racial disparities. It is large academic skills gaps that cause the lack of proportional representation in our most meritocratic organizations and large differences in criminal offending that account for the racially disproportionate prison population. The need for such a corrective argument could not be more urgent. Federal science agencies now treat researchers’ skin color as a scientific qualification. Museums and orchestras choose which art and music to promote based on race. Police officers avoid making arrests and prosecutors decline to bring charges to avoid disparate impact on minority criminals. When Race Trumps Merit breaks powerful taboos. But it is driven by a sense of alarm, supported by detailed case studies of how disparate-impact thinking is jeopardizing scientific progress, destroying public order, and poisoning the appreciation of art and culture. As long as alleged racism remains the only allowable explanation for racial differences, we will continue tearing down excellence and putting lives, as well as civilizational achievement, at risk. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, NCF Director Peter Whittle & Senior Fellows Dr. Philip Kiszely and Rafe Heydel-Mankoo discuss: * Britain's new Public Order Act was used at the coronation to arrest members of anti-monarchy group Republic. Was that justified? Is the Public Order Act a good way to stop Just Stop Oil & Extinction Rebellion? Or is it a serious infringement of civil liberties? * Ireland's new hate crime bill would see people criminalised simply for possessing content that is "deemed" hateful against certain protected characteristics, including gender, race and religion. Simply having a meme or whatsapp message on one's phone, or a book on one's shelf would be enough to fall foul of this law. It is the most draconian piece of legislation we have ever seen. How long until a similar law is enacted in the UK? * Summary of the NCF team's take on the coronation. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On today's #NCFNewspeak, host & NCF Director @prwhittle is joined by NCF Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and special guest Alp Mehmet, chairman of Migration Watch. Topics discussed: * The UK Government announces a range of policies to clamp down on grooming gangs, including recording their ethnicity. Can these policies be successful when the police, local councils and social services are petrified by political correctness? It has been over a decade since the scandal first captured the nation's attention, 20 years since it first began to be talked about and yet it continues. What needs to be done to get to grips with this ongoing national scandal? * Artificial Intelligence is growing in leaps and bounds. Leading figures from Stephen Hawking to Elon Musk have warned of the dangers of A.I. Does it pose a genuine threat? Or will it lead to a giant leap forward for mankind? * What's going on with the Trump indictment? How much of this is politically motivated? Will it hurt or benefit Trump in the long run? ------------------ SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

As we mark Emma Webb's final appearance as host of #NCFNewspeak (she will return as an occasional guest), she, Peter Whittle & Philip Kiszely discuss: * Baroness Casey's report into the Metropolitan Police claims the force is "Institutionally Racist". Whilst there are clearly many bad apples in police uniform, can that be truly said of a force that has embraced woke ideology? * Boris Johnson appeared before the House of Commons Privileges Committee this week to explain whether he lied to Parliament over Downing Street parties during the pandemic. What are we to make of his appearance and of others like Piers Morgan who have now admitted they were wrong. * Ramadan lights have been erected in London's West End to celebrate the Muslim festival. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On today's episode of #NCFDeprogrammed, hosts Harrison Pitt and Poppy Coburn are joined by special guest Prof. Eric Kaufmann, Professor of Politics at Birkbeck College. Prof. Kaufmann discusses his fascinating Policy Exchange report examining the demographics and political beliefs of contemporary British youth. He explains why British youth are more left wing than ever and why, unlike previous generations, they are unlikely to become more right wing with age. He, Poppy and Harrison discuss the consequences this will have for Britain, both culturally and politically, as well as in areas such as freedom of speech etc. ------------------ SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Our guest on this week's #SWYSI is author & Unherd columnist Mary Harrington, author of the new book: Feminism Against Progress. Harrington argues that the industrial-era faith in progress is turning against all but a tiny elite of women. Women’s liberation was less the result of human moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution. We’ve now left the industrial era for the age of AI, biotech and all-pervasive computing. As a result, technology is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences. Although this shift benefits a small class of successful professional women, it also makes it easier to commodify women’s bodies, human intimacy and female reproductive abilities. This is a stark warning against a dystopian future whereby poor women become little more than convenient sources of body parts to be harvested and wombs to be rented by the rich. Progress has now stopped benefiting the majority of women, and only a feminism that is sceptical of it can truly defend female interests in the 21st century.

Prof. Matthew Goodwin returns to the #SWYSI sofa to discuss his new book, "Values, Voice and Virtue: The New British Politics", a theory for the origins of our ongoing political instability: "What has caused the recent seismic changes in British politics, including Brexit and a series of populist revolts against the elite? Why did so many people want to overturn the status quo? Where have the Left gone wrong? And what deeper trends are driving these changes? "British politics is coming apart. A country once known for its stability has recently experienced a series of shocking upheavals. Matthew Goodwin, acclaimed political scientist and co-author of National Populism, shows that the reason is not economic hardship, personalities or dark money. It is a far wider political realignment that will be with us for years to come. An increasingly liberalised, globalised ruling class has lost touch with millions, who found their values ignored, their voices unheard and their virtue denied. Now, this new alliance of voters is set to determine Britain's fate."

On this week's #SWYSI we are joined by Tom & Hayley Bowen, founders of the new King Alfred School in Dudley, Britain's first modern Christian classical school. The King Alfred School offers a classical British education that celebrates Britain's history, heritage & heroes, as well as its Christian values. The school rejects the "progressive" teaching that is ubiquitous in contemporary education, opting for the sort of schooling Winston Churchill and Isaac Newton would have received.

On this week's #SWYSI we are joined, once again, by Prof. Nigel Biggar, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford and canon of Christ Church Cathedral. Prof. Biggar's new book, "Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning", provides a new assessment of the West’s colonial record Prof. Biggar argues that, especially in the Anglosphere, the ‘decolonisation’ movement corrodes the West’s self-confidence by retelling the history of European and American colonial dominance as a litany of racism, exploitation, and massively murderous violence. Nigel Biggar tests this indictment, addressing the crucial questions in eight chapters: Was the British Empire driven primarily by greed and the lust to dominate? Should we speak of ‘colonialism and slavery’ in the same breath, as if they were identical? Was the Empire essentially racist? How far was it based on the theft of land? Did it involve genocide? Was it driven fundamentally by the motive of economic exploitation? Was undemocratic colonial government necessarily illegitimate? and, Was the Empire essentially violent, and its violence pervasively racist and terroristic? Biggar makes clear that, like any other long-standing state, the British Empire involved elements of injustice, sometimes appalling. On occasions it was culpably incompetent and presided over moments of dreadful tragedy. Nevertheless, from the early 1800s the Empire was committed to abolishing the slave trade in the name of a Christian conviction of the basic equality of all human beings. It ended endemic inter-tribal warfare, opened local economies to the opportunities of global trade, moderated the impact of inescapable modernisation, established the rule of law and liberal institutions such as a free press, and spent itself in defeating the murderously racist Nazi and Japanese empires in the Second World War. As encyclopaedic in historical breadth as it is penetrating in analytical depth, Colonialism offers a moral inquest into the colonial past, forensically contesting damaging falsehoods and thereby helping to rejuvenate faith in the West’s future. Nigel Biggar's book 'Colonialism' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 06-02-2023.

The British government has embarked on an ambitious and legally-binding climate change target: reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2050. The Net Zero policy was subject to almost no parliamentary or public scrutiny, and is universally approved by our political class. But what will its consequences be? Our guest today is Ross Clark, author of "NOT ZERO: How an Irrational Target Will Impoverish You, Help China (and Won't Even Save the Planet)". Author & journalist Ross Clark is perhaps best known for his columns in The Spectator, The Telegraph and the Daily Mail. In his book, and this interview, he argues that Net Zero is a terrible mistake, an impractical hostage to fortune which will have massive downsides. Achieving the target is predicated on the rapid development of technologies that are either non-existent, highly speculative or untested. Clark shows that efforts to achieve the target will inevitably result in a huge hit to living standards, which will clobber the poorest hardest, and gift a massive geopolitical advantage to hostile superpowers such as China and Russia. The unrealistic and rigid timetable it imposes could also result in our committing to technologies which turn out to be ineffective, all while distracting ourselves from the far more important objective of adaptation. In short, Net Zero could have potentially devastating consequences which could hobble Britain’s economy, cost billions and not even be effective.

Joining us on the #SWYSI sofa this week is Lee Anderson, the outspoken Conservative MP for Ashfield since 2019. Known for his forthright views on controversial subjects ("I say what people think"), Lee discusses modern unions ("union leaders don't care about their members"), the infiltration of woke ideology into our institutions and education system, and the unacceptable levels of both legal and illegal immigration -- and the consequences arising therefrom. In a wide-ranging discussion, Lee also tells us about his upbringing, his early life as a miner and his political journey from staunchly anti-Thatcher Labour activist to Conservative MP. ------------------ SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

In a wide-ranging discussion, John discusses his book "The Woke vs. The West: Awkward Questions for a Progressive Age" and a myriad of other topics, including the Left's cultural revolution in Britain and America, political reform, education, Net Zero, and the Conservative Party's loss of purpose and confidence.

Our guest on this week's #SWYSI is Dr. Jerome Booth, Chairman of Anglia Ruskin University as well as a British economist, author & emerging markets investor. In his new book "Have We All Gone Mad? Why Groupthink is Rising and How to Stop it", Dr. Booth investigates why some of us have abandoned reason in favour of trite memes, intolerance and hatred. Have we all gone mad? Or can we identify the patterns and causes of what is happening and try to stop it? Dr. Booth argues that, whilst we like to think of ourselves as rational, human beings are fundamentally irrational creatures – and nowhere is that more apparent than in the fug of groupthink we see around us, from the boardroom to social media. Of the various forms of collective irrationality, groupthink is particularly dangerous. It involves adherence to a faulty consensus, often has a binary moral dimension (one is seen as either virtuous or evil) and is sustained through fear to challenge. Counter-intuitively, the most intelligent and erudite amongst us are particularly susceptible, and when groupthink takes hold, vigorous efforts are made to shut down debate and to bully and punish transgressors. As a result, toleration, liberalism, history, reason and science are under threat. Mass groupthink amongst both the elite and the masses affects millions of people. It has led to financial mismanagement leading up to the 2008 crisis and beyond; poor decision-making at the onset of Covid-19; exaggerated, unchallenged claims which have motivated nonsensical policies; and distortions in academia and journalism.

On this week's #SWYSI, Prof. Eric Kaufmann discusses the alarming and disturbing findings of his investigation into the left-wing political culture of young people in the UK. He has found that our children are being taught radical left ideas and theories as if they are truth, with little to no attempt to provide balance or counter-arguments to these ideas. There can be no surprise, therefore, that the youth of today hold far stronger left-wing views than previous generations, with little evidence that this will change as they grow older.

The latest YouGov poll shows the Reform Party surging in the polls. It is now tied with the Liberal Democrats at 9%, a mere 13% behind the Conservative Party at 22%. What does this mean? At the next General Election, could the Reform Party pose an existential threat to the Conservative Party and replace it as the natural party of true, small 'c', conservatives? Richard Tice, Leader of the Reform Party, joins Peter Whittle on the "So What You're Saying Is..." sofa to discuss the Reform Party's agenda for change and explain how it would solve Britain's myriad problems. From immigration to the culture wars, welfare to education, industry to employment and net zero to constitutional reform, Mr. Tice lays out the Reform Party's agenda in clear terms. ------------------ SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

To mark the launch of our new book "Fighting Back: Defending Britain & The West in the Culture War", we present a special edition of #SWYSI that brings together 3 inspiring people who refused to bow down to the institutions that tried to penalise, suppress or fire them for expressing their views. We hope their tales serve to give hope and inspiration to others out there who may encounter similar experiences. Harry Miller won a legal challenge against a national policy for police forces to record gender-critical views as non-crime "hate incidents". Humberside Police visited Harry Miller in January 2020 after a complaint over alleged transphobic tweets he made. It was recorded on a national database as a non-crime hate incident. But the Court of Appeal ruled on Monday the guidance was wrongly used and it had a "chilling effect" on Mr Miller's freedom of speech. Amy Gallagher is suing the Portman Clinic in north London, part of The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, claiming discrimination on the basis of race, religion and philosophical belief. She believes the NHS is forcing racist ideology on students by promoting critical race theory in its classes. She objected to a lecture entitled “whiteness – a problem of our time” in October 2020, where attendees were forced to confront “the reality of white privilege” and in another race lecture the following month, she was told that “Christianity is racist because it is European” by a talk leader. Nick Buckley MBE was cancelled in June 2020 from the multi award-winning charity he founded when online activists came for him for criticising Black Lives Matter. The trustees panicked, allowing Nick to be removed from his post. Within five weeks, Nick had forced the trustees to resign en-mass, and took back his role as chief executive.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, host Emma Webb, NCF Director Peter Whittle and Senior Fellows Dr. Philip Kiszely and Rafe Heydel-Mankoo discuss: * "Fighting Back: Defending Britain & The West in the Culture War": the New Culture Forum's new publication. * "The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education" watchdog has told universities to teach colonialism & white supremacy in courses including computing, maths, science and geography. The QAA believes that courses should acknowledge “racism, classism, ableism, homophobia and patriarchy”. * The capture of our universities. Rafe Heydel-Mankoo discusses his recent debate at Cambridge Union where he and Calvin Robinson spoke against a motion to pay reparations for colonialism and slavery. He recounts his experience of the student body. * HM Treasury has decreed that 6% of officials must be black, double the UK pop of 3%. This arbitrary target is the first in the department's history. It also requires the LGBTQ+ rainbow flag to be flown from buildings.

Peter Hitchens returns to our #SWYSI sofa to discuss his new book: "A Revolution Betrayed: How Egalitarians Wrecked the British Education System", which also provides an in-depth look at what will happen if things don't change radically. There are few subjects that cause parents more stress than the education of their children. Peter Hitchens describes the misjudgements made by politicians over the years that have led to the increase of class distinction and privilege in our education system. This is of course the opposite of what was intended. Given that the cost of private secondary education is now in the region of £200,000 and the cream of Comprehensive Schools are now oversubscribed, parents are spending thousands on private tutoring and fee-paying prep schools in order to get their children into these academically excellent schools. Meanwhile hypocritical Labour politicians like Diane Abbott send their children to expensive private day schools. So, what alternatives - if any - are there? Peter Hitchens argues that in trying to bring about an educational system which is egalitarian, the politicians have created a system which is the exact opposite. And what's more, it is a system riddled with anomalies - Sixth Form Colleges select pupils on ability at the age of 15, which rules out any child who does not have major educational backing from home (heavy involvement by working parents or private tutors, for example) and academies also are selective, though they pretend not to be.

The survival of Western democracy requires a revival of the centuries-old legal, religious, and cultural traditions that made Britain and America models of national freedom for the entire world. Liberalism, devoured by its own “woke” offspring, is at the end of its long reign. But just when the West needs a vigorous conservative revival, the political and intellectual movement that was once so sure of itself seems strangely irrelevant. Our guest today argues that National Conservatism offers the best model for our future freedom & prosperity. Award-winning Yoram Hazony, Chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation, is the author of the critically-acclaimed new book: "Conservatism: A Rediscovery". He argues that by identifying conservatism with “classical” liberalism, conservatives embraced the very principles that led to their defeat. In his book he provides a fresh theoretical foundation for conservatism. Rejecting the liberalism of Hayek, Strauss, and the “fusionists” of the 1960s, and drawing on decades of personal experience, he shows that conservatism is more than a set of ideas. It is a way of life—compelling, humane, and beautiful. To order Yoram's book please click here: https://nationalconservatism.org/publ...

Student Samantha Smith is a survivor of long-term child sexual abuse in Telford. She has waived her anonymity to speak out on behalf of the victims of grooming and sexual abuse and hopefully, by doing so, encourage and empower other victims to also come forward. She joins us to reveal the horrific treatment she received not only at the hands of her abusers but also from the institutions that were meant to protect her: police, social services, the local authority. Girls like her were belittled, dismissed and denigrated by police and social workers who, for reasons of political correctness and class bias, chose to side with the abusers rather than the victims. She reveals that whilst West Mercia police did nothing to help her when she tried to seek help against her abusers, as soon as she went on television to speak about her ordeal and expose police failings, she was suddenly a person of interest and received an intimidating visit the very next day. Samantha says the police had no grounds for visiting her and it felt like they wanted to silence her for speaking out. Today, in addition to speaking out about child sexual exploitation and abuse, Samantha also appears in the media (from GB News to The Telegraph) where she speaks and writes about education, campus free speech and social mobility. ------------------ SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, host Emma Webb is joined by NCF Director Peter Whittle, Senior Fellow Philip Kiszely and special guests Samantha Smith and Stephen Balogh. Topics discussed: * The release of the 2021 Census. What the census results reveal -- and what they don't reveal about the state of immigration in the UK today. Are we being told the full story? * An article in the Atlantic magazine suggests there should be a Pandemic Amnesty, with forgiveness for those who've now been proved wrong. Now that so many previously deemed "beyond the pale" have been proved right, should we now forgive and forget? * Matt Hancock: Are politicians celebrities? Should we care that he is going off to an Australian jungle? ------------------ SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's #SWYSI we are again joined by journalist and commentator Alex Kaschuta, host of the popular "Subversive" podcast. Speaking from her home in Romania (having previously lived in London), Alex reviews modern Britain from the viewpoint of a traditional east-European conservative. She also discusses the "The New Right" -- or, more correctly, the latest incarnation of the New Right. In its current form, today's "New Right" draws together a disparate collection of traditionalist conservatives from the USA and further afield who reject the "old conservatism" (sic. recte "neo-liberalism") of libertarian free markets and value-neutral social spaces.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak host Emma Webb is joined by NCF Director Peter Whittle and Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo to discuss: * The migrant crisis. Some residents of Dover are scared of home invasions by cross channel migrants. Meanwhile, it's been reported that official discussions took place to house migrants in tents in London's royal parks. At the same time, Albanian men now constitute the single largest group of cross Channel migrants. Last time we checked, Albania wasn't a country riven by war and persecution. How long can the current situation continue? * What can we expect from a Rishi Sunak government? Is the appointment of Suella Braverman & Kemi Badenoch a sign they intend to tackle immigration and the culture wars? * American comedian Trevor Noah, the star of the hugely influential American satirical news programme "The Daily Show" has controversially claimed there was a racist backlash in the UK against Rishi Sunak becoming Prime Minister. * In Belgium and Canada people suffering from depression and mental health illnesses are increasingly opting for and being offered euthanasia. Up to 3% of all deaths in Canada are now by euthanasia, including physically healthy young people. ------------------ SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

"First test of woke ideology in the courts" as the NHS is accused of "forcing Critical Race Theory on students". On this week's #SWYSI we are joined by Amy Gallagher, a Christian nurse who is suing the controversial Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust for 'forcing racist ideology' on students in a lecture entitled, 'Whiteness - A Problem of Our Time'. Arguing that the trust forces a 'racist ideology' onto students, Amy tells us how nursing students are being discriminated against on the basis of race and religion.

For signing a letter in support of JK Rowling and another letter calling on Stonewall to embrace greater tolerance of different viewpoints, Dreyfus found his name erased from material relating to his appearances as "The Master" in Doctor Who audio books. He also became maligned as a transphobe. ------------------ SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, host Emma Webb is joined by NCF director Peter Whittle, senior fellow Philip Kiszely and special guest Alp Mehmet, Chairman of Migration Watch. Topics discussed: * Truss Government's desire for increased immigration to Britain. Having fought to leave EU free movement, why does the British government want something close to free movement with poorer countries such as India, with its huge population? * Election of Italy's new leader Giorgia Meloni. Is she really "far right" as the media would have us believe? * Impact of immigration on the UK * British Social Attitudes Survey defines the culture wars as a battle between liberalism and authoritarianism. ------------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Following the horrendous attack on Salman Rushdie by a Muslim fundamentalist, Peter Whittle is joined by Wasiq Wasiq, Associate Fellow at the Henry Jackson Society's Centre on Radicalisation & Terrorism, for a wide-ranging discussion about Islam, Islamism and the fundamentalist agenda in Britain. Wasiq Wasiq is a founding trustee for the charity Muslims Against Antisemitism (MAAS). Moreover, with a particular expertise in Islamism, he has been raising the issue of how non-violent Islamism is threatening western democracies. Most recently, Wasiq was one of two lay advisors on the Singh Investigation into alleged discrimination and ‘Islamophobia’ in the Conservative Party. The report concluded that allegations of institutional racism against the Party were not borne out by the evidence available to the Investigation. This ground breaking and historic report was fully accepted by the Conservative Party whom have now agreed to all recommendations. Wasiq currently writes extensively on matters of antisemitism, extremism and terrorism for a number of well-known media outlets such as Harry’s Place, Jewish News, Spiked and The Mallard. ----------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

The National Trust, a beloved national institution tasked with preserving Britain's heritage, has become mired in controversy in recent years. Join the National Trust by 26 August and you can help change the organisation's misguided and increasingly political direction. You will have a vote at the NT's upcoming AGM. Recent activities by the leadership at the National Trust have been subject of debates in both Houses of Parliament, and even more worryingly, an investigation by the Charities Commission. Increasingly, its leadership have steered the National Trust away from its core mission and into the highly contentious culture wars. This has led to huge numbers of members and volunteers deserting an institution many have supported for decades. Restore Trust is a pressure group of concerned members who are seeking to return the National Trust to its founding objectives. Zewditu Gebreyohanes is director of Restore Trust, executive editor of History Reclaimed and was formerly head of the History Matters unit at Policy Exchange. She joins us on the #SWYSI sofa to discuss the crisis at the heart of the National Trust and how ordinary members who join up by August 26 can help play a role in the Trust's future direction.

On this week's #SWYSI we are joined by commentator, author and GB News presenter Andrew Doyle to discuss his upcoming book, "The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World", an exploration of our current cultural climate and an urgent appeal to return to a truly liberal society. The puritans of the seventeenth century sought to refashion society in accordance with their own beliefs, but they were deep thinkers who were aware of their own fallibility. Today, in the grasp of the new puritans, Andrew Doyle sees a very different story. According to Doyle, the new puritanism movement, leading a cultural revolution driven by identity politics and so-called 'social justice', is best understood as a religion - one that makes grand claims to moral purity and tolerates no dissent. Its disciples even have their own language, rituals and a determination to root out sinners through what has become known as 'cancel culture'. Doyle examines the underlying belief-systems of this ideology, and how it has risen so rapidly to dominate all major political, cultural and corporate institutions. He reasons that, to move forward, we need to understand where these new puritans came from and what they hope to achieve. Written in the spirit of optimism and understanding, Doyle offers an eloquent and powerful case for the reinstatement of liberal values and explains why it's important we act now.

There are no universal values or human rights, argues Dr. David Starkey at our St. George's Day conference. The West's creation of international law, and international bodies to govern an international rules based system lies at the heart of the West's current problems. The West believes all peoples and regions of this world share universal beliefs and values. They don't. Russia and China understand this. We don't. Just at The West's moment of triumph, when it saw its enemies vanquished, it finds itself in its greatest identity crisis. How did the West end up mired in the identity politics of race, gender and sexuality? Why is it losing dominance on the global stage to Russia and China, the latter a superpower created by the West via entry to the WTO. Are patriotism and pride in the values and achievements we've inherited from our ancestors enough to help restore the West? These and many other issue are discussed by Dr. David Starkey in this fascinating talk delivered at "Believe in Britain & The West", the New Culture Forum's 2022 spring conference, held, appropriately, on St. George's Day. #NCFConf22 ----------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, host Emma Webb is joined by the New Culture Forum's senior fellow, Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, historian and broadcaster. Topics discussed today include: * America's abortion debate blows up as the Supreme Court's draft decision overturning "Roe v Wade" is leaked to the press. What's going on, how does this play into the wider culture wars and what are the implications for the UK? * #TractorGate & #GrowlerGate: Has the storm surrounding porn in Parliament and Angela Rayner's legs been completely overblown? Why is the Conservative Party pushing for 50% of its MPs to be women? Is Parliament unsafe for women or, as Rafe argues, are women now enjoying the best time in Parliament? * We have just marked the 25th anniversary of Tony Blair's first election as Prime Minister. What is his legacy? From mass immigration to devolution and "the long march", was Blair the worst Prime Minister we've had? * A Canadian government report has just made a remarkable attack on religious liberty. The report, which attempts to root out discrimination in the Canadian Armed Forces, recommends banning Catholic, orthodox Jewish and Muslim chaplains on the grounds that they are male only and these religions do not approve of paganism and polytheism. ---------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

The New Culture Forum's spring conference 2022 took place on St. George's Day. Many of our viewers & supporters have said that they are tired of always hearing what's wrong with Britain & The West without anyone actually proposing real solutions to our problems. Offering solutions is a key mission of the New Culture Forum, and many of our conference speakers provided exactly that. Konstantin Kisin is a Russian-British comedian and political commentator. Kisin regularly writes for a number of publications including Quillette, The Spectator, The Daily Telegraph etc. on issues relating to tech censorship, woke culture, comedy and so-called "culture war" topics. He has co-hosted Triggernometry since 2018, a YouTube channel and podcast featuring fellow comedian and co-host Francis Foster. The show is dedicated to free speech and open discussion on a range of topics. In a compelling and entertaining speech, Konstain addressed the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West - and Britain - today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.

Publishing is one of the industries worst-affected by wokery. Staffed by young, left-leaning university graduates, most publishing houses have adopted draconian policies on who and what they will and won't publish. As a result, many top notch authors have found themselves essentially blacklisted, their worthy manuscripts rejected. Whilst international titans such as JK Rowling and Jordan Peterson are too big to cancel, many less well-known authors have struggled to get their works to the public. Until now. Our guest on this week's #SWYSI is George Owers, editorial director of Forum, an imprint of Swift Press that will focus on publishing books that question contemporary orthodoxies. Forum’s first title is Woke Racism: How a New Religion has Betrayed Black America by the New York Times columnist John McWhorter. It will be followed in June by Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Freedom, Reason, and Tolerance by Mustafa Akyol. Books already acquired for 2023 include Mary Harrington’s Feminism Against Progress, Rakib Ehsan’s Beyond Grievance: What the Left Gets Wrong about Ethnic Minorities, and psychology professor Luke Conway’s Liberal Bullies: Why the Left has an Authoritarianism Problem and How to Fix It. In his previous position at Polity Press, Mr. Owers commissioned and edited books including Despised by Paul Embery, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution by Louise Perry, and The Dignity of Labour by Jon Cruddas. He has a PhD in the history of political thought and was the youngest Cambridge city councillor ever elected.

International best-selling author Douglas Murray returns to the #SWYSI sofa to discuss his critically acclaimed new book: "The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason", which the Daily Mail has hailed as "The most important book of the year" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/War-West-How...) In his book Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it? "It’s become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What’s more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy. "In 'The War on the West', Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world’s most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, 'The War on the West' is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray’s status as one of the world’s foremost political writers."

Andrew Klavan, host of The Daily Wire's "Andrew Klavan Show", returns to #SWYSI to discuss his new book "The Truth and Beauty: How the Lives and Works of England's Greatest Poets Point the Way to a Deeper Understanding of the Words of Jesus". He also talks about The Daily Wire's successful attempt to produce conservative cultural content to counter the left-wing output of Hollywood etc. Most recently, in response to revelations about Disney's gender agenda, The Daily Wire announced it would invest $100 million to produce programmes for children. In The Truth and Beauty, Klavan combines a decades-long writing career with a lifetime of reading to discover a fresh understanding of the Gospels. By reading the words of Jesus through the life and work of writers such as William Wordsworth and John Keats, Mary Shelley and Samuel Taylor Coleridge--the English romantics--Klavan discovered a way to encounter Jesus in a deeper and more profound way than ever before. For readers seeking to find renewed meaning in the words of Jesus--and for those who are striving for belief in a materialistic world--The Truth and Beauty offers an intimate account of one man's struggle to understand the Gospels in all their strangeness, and so find his way to a life that is, as he says, "the most creative, the most joyful, and surely the most true."

A history and philosophy graduate, Jon, a former cage fighter, began his successful art enterprise with weekly life drawing classes in the tradition of the workshop practice of the artists of Renaissance Florence.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, Emma Webb & Peter Whittle are joined by Caroline Ffiske of Conservatives for Women, a new campaign group to raise awareness of issues which threaten the safety and dignity of women. They claim to defend science, reason, free speech and the need for open, tolerant debate that underpins our society. During the May 2022 local elections, they will be asking all political parties and all candidates to define what a woman is and also to state their support for safe spaces for women, etc. Topics discussed include the trans war on women, removing Jane Austen from literature courses and the recent Hungarian general election.

Viktor Orban's landslide election victory has enraged The West's elites. Why do they demonize Hungary so much? And what, if anything, can European and British conservatives learn from Viktor Orban's politics? John O'Sullivan answers these questions from his vantage point as president of The Danube Institute, a Budapest-based think tank. He was senior policy adviser and speech writer for Margaret Thatcher when she was Prime Minister. He has also served as editor of National Review and vice president of Radio Free Europe.

The UK's new "No-Fault" Divorce laws should come with a public health warning as its outcomes will be apocalyptic for men. So argues, Matt O'Connor, founder of the Fathers 4 Justice campaign group, on this episode of #SWYSI. Fathers 4 Justice say that marriage is currently a sexist "man trap". They want to see genuine reform of the institution that removes anti-male elements such as spousal maintenance. Sweden, for example, has eliminated spousal maintenance for divorce settlements as it is sexist to expect a man to support a woman. Fathers 4 Justice believe it is time for true divorce equality and parental equality.

Konstantin Kisin joins Peter Whittle on the #SWYSI sofa to discuss Russia & Ukraine from his perspective as a Russian-born citizen who is married to a Ukrainian and is in constant contact with family in both countries, which he also visits several times a year. As a Russian speaker he also closely follows Russian media that is inaccessible to non-Russian speakers in the West. In a wide-ranging discussion they also discuss his new book (out in July) An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West. Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race, politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West - and Britain - today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.

On this episode of #SWYSI, Nina Power discusses her book "What Do Men Want?: Masculinity & its Discontents" and provides her insights on men and women, "toxic masculinity", incels, "patriarchy", Western culture, and the "men are bad" narrative. Nina Power's book is an inquiry into love, sex and power and provides an unashamed defence of masculinity and an attempt to tackle the crisis in masculinity that has grown to epidemic proportions amongst vast swathes of the population. Nina Power is a philosopher, cultural critic and author. In addition to her books, she has written for The Spectator, The Telegraph and the Art Review, amongst other publications. Nina says she wrote this book “partly because I have been personally and politically disturbed by the division created by media and technology between men and women in my own lifetime. Partly because I feel that men and women have had their lives reduced to generalizations by a media that loves sweeping claims: I think that these claims don’t accord in the slightest with the complex reality of our lives.” On her website she adds “it’s an attempt, among other things, to understand...male resentment."

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, our panel discuss the impact of Ukraine on our energy prices and energy security and why this makes Britain's "Net Zero" ambitions ludicrous & reckless. Also, is The West right to lionize and make heroes out of politicians like Zelensky? Taking so-called micro-aggressions to a whole new level, Transport for London (TfL) now warns commuters not to stare at fellow passengers. And, despite the brave efforts of women in Ukraine, Nicola Sturgeon has instead chosen to mark International Womens' Day by apologising to ancient witches. Our Host: Emma Webb, commentator & deputy research director at the Free Speech Union. Our panel: * Peter Whittle, Founder & Director of the New Culture Forum * Marc Glendening, Head of Cultural Affairs at the Institute of Economic Affairs * Gawain Towler, political consultant and former head of media for the Brexit Party ---------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Dr. Attila Demko is a former Hungarian diplomat & defence strategist and an expert on the geopolitics of Russia & Ukraine. He is the author of "Fury of the Tsar", which gives an exclusive insight into Vladimir Putin's mindset, what he has against the United States and NATO and why Ukraine is so important for so called "Mother Russia". It guides the reader into the shady realm of geopolitical competition; false-flag operations and cruel battles behind the scenes, all wrapped into the fire of Eastern European history. Dr. Demko joins Peter Whittle in Budapest to explain Putin is furious and what he is capable of doing when cornered. And he is indeed cornered. Things are not going well for Russia, and a new economic crisis is at the door. Written in 2019, this book reads like a prophecy in 2022. Vladimir Putin is on the path of revenge, a path which Dr. Demok believes may lead to two graves: the grave of the West, and the grave of Russia. Reviews: “I ignored meetings, calls, and impeachment hearings to devour this book. For any reader who values history, enjoys fiction, and follows East-West power politics, this book is a mesmerizing tour de force. Part intelligence briefing, part cinema verité, it’s a powerful, unnerving ride.” Victor Gaetan (The American Spectator) “A controversial, thought-provoking, insightful, yet entertaining book.

We're delighted to present the first episode of NEWSPEAK, our new "in-house" discussion show. On today's programme we discuss Whoopi Goldberg's historical ignorance around the Holocaust, and the way in which her views have clearly been shaped by Critical Race Theory. We also discuss the police's continuing suppression of free speech, as they arrest a woman in a mobility scooter for stickers bearing entirely legal statements regarding women's rights. We look at the issue of charging people different rates for goods and tickets based upon their sex, race and sexuality as one club charges straight white men 6 times more than trans people of colour to enter. And we also discuss attempts to cancel George Orwell and place trigger warnings on his classic work "1984". #NCFNewspeak ----------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

BBC Radio 4's legendary "Quote... Unquote" has entertained audiences since 1976. However, in December 2021, fans were dismayed to discover that the show was at an end. On this week's #SWYSI, Nigel Rees, the creator & host of "Quote... Unquote", explains the events that led him to cancel his own show. He explains how the BBC's diversity quotas for greater representation of women, ethnic minorities and disabled people began to affect the programme and how the BBC's political correctness required him to amend his scripts, preventing the inclusion of familiar and harmless quotations, loved by generations. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Africa's population growth in the last 50 years has been unprecedented. By mid-century, the continent will make up a quarter of the global population, compared to one-tenth in 1980. By the end of the century, the proportion could be as much as 40 per cent. This is a mega-trend that should not be ignored. Africa's youth is the most striking aspect of its demography. As the rest of the world ages, and the population of many countries starts to shrink, almost 60 per cent of Africa's population is younger than 25 years old. This 'youthquake' will have immense consequences for the social, economic and political reality in Africa. Edward Paice is the author of "Youthquake: Why Africa's Demography Should Matter to the World." He joins us on the #SWYSI sofa to discuss his book, which presents a detailed, nuanced analysis of the varied demography of Africa. He rejects the fanciful over-optimism of some commentators and doom-laden prophecies of others, while scrutinising received wisdom, and carefully considering the ramifications of the youthquake for Africa and the world.

A day after his landmark court ruling, retired police officer and Fair Cop founder Harry Miller joins us to discuss his victory for free speech, which saw the Court of Appeal rule that the police's definition of a 'hate incident' is unlawful and had a 'chilling effect' on his freedom of expression after he was visited over trans tweets. This is a hugely significant moment in the fight to protect free speech and could hopefully spell an end to the sinister recording of "Non-Crime Hate Incidents". --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On 30 November 2021 Neil Oliver delivered the New Culture Forum's 2021 Smith Lecture to a sold-out audience in central London. The title to his talk was "The Attack on Our History & Culture". In recent years we have seen a concerted effort to rewrite British history, denigrating its achievements, exaggerating its faults and casting its heroes as villains. From Churchill to Nelson, our most revered national figures have been unjustly defamed & their reputations traduced. From the abolition of slavery to the Industrial Revolution and the development of one of the world’s most racially tolerant societies, Britain’s remarkable achievements are now undermined by agenda-driven historical revisionists. Alas, from schools to universities, our younger generations are now all too often taught such revisionism as historical fact. No surprise, therefore, that attitudes towards Britain’s history & culture, and institutions such as the Monarchy, are far more negative in those under 25 than above it. This divergence in opinion is greater than we have ever known before – and does not bode well for the future. For a nation ignorant of its past is unlikely to sustain its culture, institutions and society. Whether our current predicament is evidence of the Marxist “Long March Through the Institutions” or not, from the Soviet Union to “Year Zero” Cambodia, the revision – and eradication – of history is a favourite tactic of radical ideologues. NEIL OLIVER Neil Oliver has considerable first-hand experience of “cancel culture” and the attack on history. During his tenure as President of the Scottish National Trust (2017-2020) he was subjected to numerous attacks and pressure to oust him for his public views, including supporting Scotland remaining within the Union, condemning the Scottish government’s “Hate Crime Bill” and defending JK Rowling against accusations of transphobia.

On this week's #SWYSI we are joined by Matt (Lord) Ridley, the distinguished journalist and businessman best known for his articles and books on science, the environment and economics. In this episode he discusses his important new book: "Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19" To quote from the book's description: "Understanding how Covid-19 started is more important than we know for the future of humankind. Determining whether the virus came from nature or from a lab will help us to safeguard against the next pandemic. "This disease will forever punctuate modern history. It has led to the deaths of millions, sickened hundreds of millions and affected the lives of almost every person on the planet. We now know that Covid is here to stay. "Genetic engineering expert Dr Alina Chan and renowned science writer Matt Ridley examine the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19, using their formidable skills to scrutinise arguments and rigorously analyse the sprawling data. Viral is a fascinating account that takes in pangolins, horseshoe bats, internet sleuths and misleading scientific papers. It details the evidence and investigates hypotheses for the virus origin, chief among them a potential laboratory leak or a natural spillover. "Science has made great strides over the last decades. Chan and Ridley give an insight into the proliferating pathogen research and virus hunting around the world. Whatever the source of the virus, the world needs to adopt new policies and strategies to prevent or mitigate future outbreaks. "Set in the caves and mineshafts, food markets and wildlife smugglers’ stores, laboratories and databases of China and elsewhere, Viral is a page-turner that reads like a detective novel and goes deeper into the deepest mystery of the day than any other work. This is the book on the search for the origin of Covid-19."

Prof. Frank Furedi, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent, joins Peter Whittle on the #SWYSI sofa to discuss his new book "100 Years of Identity Crisis: Culture War Over Socialization". Born in Hungary, Prof. Furedi also reminisces about witnessing that country's famous anti-communist revolution of 1956. He also argues that contemporary Hungary & Poland are being demonised in the West and unjustly caricatured in ways he does not recognise. In terms of his new book, Prof. Furedi points out that the concept of Identity Crisis came into usage in the 1940s and has continued to dominate the cultural zeitgeist ever since. Exploring the historical origins of this development, Frank Furedi argues that the principal driver of the crisis of identity was and continues to be the conflict surrounding the socialisation of young people. In turn, the politicisation of this conflict provides a terrain on which the Culture Wars and the politicisation of identity can flourish. Through exploring the interaction between the problems of socialisation and identity, this study offers a unique account of the origins and rise of the Culture Wars. - The first historical sociological study of changing relation between the crisis of identity and the politicisation of culture - Reinterprets the Culture Wars as an outcome of conflicting orientations towards the question of socialisation.

A year after being fired by his own charity for criticizing Black Lives Matter, Nick Buckley MBE returns to the #SWYSI sofa to discuss his new book: Lessons In Courage: How I Fought Back Against Cancel Culture and Won. In Lessons in Courage, Buckley argues that in our febrile cultural climate we increasingly need people to be courageous and to do what is right, not what is convenient or acceptable to fashionable ideologues. Buckley sets out a series of lessons learned throughout his life, not having realized that he was in training for a life-defining battle. These are the tough but inspiring lessons he wants to offer the next person to face an angry and intolerant mob and to others who self-censor or hold back for fear of drowning in turbulent waters.

Our guest on this week's #SWYSI is journalist Tim Stanley, author of the new book: Whatever Happened to Tradition: History, Belonging & The Future of the West. For Tim, the West feels lost. Brexit, Trump, the coronavirus: we hurtle from one crisis to another, lacking definition, terrified that our best days are behind us. As Tim explains to Peter Whittle, the central argument of his book is that we can only face the future with hope if we have a proper sense of tradition – political, social and religious. We ignore our past at our peril. The problem, Tim argues, is that the Western tradition is anti-tradition, that we have a habit of discarding old ways and old knowledge, leaving us uncertain how to act or, even, of who we really are. The good news, he argues, is that tradition can also be rebuilt. It's been done before. The process is fraught with danger, but the ultimate prize of rediscovering tradition is self-knowledge and freedom.

In a special episode of Widdecombe, Webb & Woberts LIVE, Ann Widdecombe pays tribute to her good friend Sir David Amess, who was horrifically murdered in a frenzied attack during a constituency surgery. She reflects on their friendship and his career as well as his murder; and discusses the nature of the media and political attention it has received in the days following. Other topics discussed include MP safety (should constituents be vetted prior to meeting their MP?), the Online Safety Bill (is this a distraction given that there is no evidence it has any relevance to Sir David's murder?) and the conversion to Roman Catholicism of Dr. Michael Nazir Ali, formerly the Anglican Bishop of Rochester. #NCFWWW --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

This time on #SWYSI, Peter Hitchens discusses the British police's historic transformation into a form unrecognisable from decades past. He agues that the British police were once unique in the world. They were an important conservative & very English institution which was set up in complete distinction from continental police forces. Parliament had seen European police forces become tools of oppression. They were armed & uniformed state police whose job was to enforce the will of the state -- and it was not felt that such a body should exist in Britain. Consequently, the British police force that was set up was very different: unarmed, not given special powers, limited in their abilities. This is no longer the case. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications)

Our guest on this week's #SWYSI is renowned historian & biographer Andrew Roberts, author of a critically-acclaimed new biography of King George III. Britain's longest-reigning king, George III has gone down in history as 'the cruellest tyrant of this age' (Thomas Paine, eighteenth century), 'a sovereign who inflicted more profound and enduring injuries upon this country than any other modern English king' (W.E.H. Lecky, nineteenth century), 'one of England's most disastrous kings' (J.H. Plumb, twentieth century) and as the pompous monarch of the musical Hamilton (twenty-first century). Andrew Roberts's magnificent new biography takes entirely the opposite view. It portrays George as intelligent, benevolent, scrupulously devoted to the constitution of his country and (as head of government as well as head of state) navigating the turbulence of eighteenth-century politics with a strong sense of honour and duty. He was a devoted husband and family man, a great patron of the arts and sciences, keen to advance Britain's agricultural capacity ('Farmer George') and determined that her horizons should be global. He could be stubborn and self-righteous, but he was also brave, brushing aside numerous assassination attempts, galvanising his ministers and generals at moments of crisis and stoical in the face of his descent - five times during his life - into a horrifying loss of mind. The book gives a detailed, revisionist account of the American Revolutionary War, persuasively taking apart a significant proportion of the Declaration of Independence, which Roberts shows to be largely Jeffersonian propaganda. In a later war, he describes how George's support for William Pitt was crucial in the battle against Napoleon. And he makes a convincing, modern diagnosis of George's terrible malady, very different to the widely accepted medical view and to popular portrayals. Roberts writes, 'the people who knew George III best loved him the most', and that far from being a tyrant or incompetent, George III was one of our most admirable monarchs. The diarist Fanny Burney, who spent four years at his court and saw him often, wrote 'A noble sovereign this is, and when justice is done to him, he will be as such acknowledged'. In presenting this fresh view of Britain's most misunderstood monarch, George III shows one of Britain's premier historians at his sparkling best."

About the Author Andrew Roberts is a biographer and historian of international renown whose books include Salisbury: Victorian Titan (winner of the Wolfson Prize for History), Masters and Commanders (winner of the Emery Reves Award), The Storm of War (winner of the British Army Book Prize), Napoleon the Great (winner of the Grand Prix of the Fondation Napoléon and the Los Angeles Times Biography Prize) and Leadership in War. His Churchill: Walking with Destiny (2018) was acclaimed as 'undoubtedly the best single-volume life of Churchill ever written' (Sunday Times) and was a major bestseller in UK and USA. Roberts is a Fellow of the Royal Societies of Literature and the Royal Historical Society, and a Trustee of the International Churchill Society. He is currently Visiting Professor at the Department of War Studies at King's College, London, and the Roger and Martha Mertz Visiting Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Sarah Elliott is Chairwoman of Republicans Overseas UK, the official body representing the US Republican Party in the UK. In this interview with former BBC journalist Robin Aitken (author of "Can We Trust the BBC?"), Mrs. Elliott discusses her first-hand experiences of BBC attitudes towards Trump and the Republicans. Mrs. Elliott states that the BBC were lazy in their coverage of Trump, simply following the New York Times and Washington Post talking points. Mainstream media wanted Trump ("the big, bad orange man") to be a racist from the start, choosing to infer this from his immigration and border policies whilst drawing no such conclusion from Biden's actions. From abortion to BLM, Identity politics, immigration and the appointment of Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanagh, the BBC has left little doubt as to its preferences. This was never clearer than in the US presidential campaign, where Joe Biden's outrageous comments about Antifa and the scandals surrounding his son, Hunter, were completely ignored by the MSM, including the BBC. This interview was recorded for episode 5 of the New Culture Forum's landmark documentary series "Heresies" (#NCFHeresies).

On this week's #SWYSI, the Chairman of Migration Watch tells the stark truth about UK immigration, revealing that he does not trust the government. He argues that government policy will increase not reduce immigration. Indeed, rather than enabling British jobs for British people post Brexit, government policy has opened up the UK job market to 600 million people globally. In the past 20 years the foreign born population of the UK has doubled to 9 million. Net immigration of 300,000 per year already poses huge problems for integration, problems that will become worse over time -- and highly damaging to society and the nation. Alp Mehmet is a former British diplomat and was one of Britain's first 2 ethnic minority Ambassadors. He succeeded Lord Green as Chairman of Migration Watch in 2019. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

James Bond is a globally recognised British institution. As iconic as Big Ben and HM The Queen. But how do today's Bond films compare with the original films in the franchise, or indeed with the original books? Would Ian Fleming recognise Daniel Craig's depiction of the secret service agent? Can Bond survive into an increasingly woke future? Who should play the next Bond? Joining us to discuss this we are delighted to have renowned historian and prolific author, Prof. Jeremy Black, author of the hugely entertaining book "The World of James Bond: The Lives & Times of 007", which presents an insightful and thoroughly entertaining exploration of the political context of the Bond books and films. In his book Jeremy Black offers a historian’s interpretation from the perspective of the late 2010s, assessing James Bond in terms of the greatly changing world order of the Bond years―a lifetime that stretches from 1953, when the first novel appeared, to the present. Black argues that the Bond novels―the Fleming books as well as the often-neglected novels authored by others after Fleming died in 1964―and films drew on current fears in order to reduce the implausibility of the villains and their villainy. The novels and films also presented potent images of national character, explored the rapidly changing relationship between a declining Britain and an ascendant United States, charted the course of the Cold War and the subsequent post-1990 world, and offered an evolving but always potent demonology. Bond was, and still is, an important aspect of post–World War II popular culture throughout the Western world. This was particularly so after Hollywood launched the filmic Bond, thus making him not only a character designed for the American film market but also a world product and a figure of globalization. Class, place, gender, violence, sex, race―all are themes that Black scrutinizes through the ongoing shifts in characterization and plot. His well-informed and well-argued analysis provides a fascinating history of the enduring and evolving appeal of James Bond.

This time on #SWYSI we are joined by barrister & legal commentator Francis Hoar, author of "In Protection of Freedom of Speech", a report commissioned by Laurence Fox's "Reclaim Party" and which includes a foreword by former Supreme Court Justice Lord Sumption. According to Mr. Hoar, a right to freedom of expression should be enshrined in UK law to counter the rising tide of “cancel culture” and other forms of woke-inspired censorship and discrimination. His report comes as the government propose an ‘Online Safety Bill’ which would require social media companies to censor ‘harmful’ speech that might offend adults, even if no criminal offence was committed. In his report Mr. Hoar proposes three key reforms designed to give UK citizens the same protection as the First Amendment to the US Constitution: 1. The police should lose the power to investigate so-called “non-crime hate incidents” and the Scottish Hate Crime Bill should be scrapped 2. Websites should be prevented from censoring content posted by users unless a criminal offence or civil wrong is committed 3. Employers should no longer be able to sack people for their speech The report may be downloaded here: https://reclaimparty.co.uk/wp-content... --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Our guest on this week's #SWYSI is Alex Deane, a writer, consultant and political commentator who appears regularly on national and international news media. A former Conservative Party aide, Alex is a founding director of Big Brother Watch and a committee member of The Freedom Association. He joins Peter Whittle on the "So What You're Saying Is..." sofa to discuss his new book "Lessons from History: Hidden Heroes & Villains from the Past and what We Can Learn from Them". Alex's book is available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lessons-Hist... REVIEW: “It’s never too late to establish the reputation of a hero. This remarkable book reminds us of the giants who never stepped from the shadows and the events which soundlessly shaped history. These are the people and places we forgot to remember, until Alex Deane revivified them. With a light touch, we are introduced to the quiet men, the natural leaders, the reluctant and accidental heroes whose song is now, finally, being sung.” Colin Brazier, journalist and presenter, GB News --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Former BBC journalist Robin Aitken (author of "Can We Trust the BBC?") interviews Lord (Charles) Moore, former editor of The Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph & The Spectator and official biographer of Margaret Thatcher. In a wide-ranging discussion, Lord Moore discusses Mrs. Thatcher's attitude towards -- and attempts to reform -- the BBC, the BBC's failure to understand how or why the public could vote for Thatcher, Brexit or Donald Trump and the *British* Broadcasting Corporation's sneering & snobbish attitude towards patriotism. He also discusses the BBC's uncritical obsession with BLM as well as Islam, towards which it is very protective whilst being overtly hostile to Christianity -- failing, for example, to properly cover Christian persecution around the world. Lord Moore & Robin Aitken also consider whether reform of the BBC is desirable and achievable or whether the institution should be scrapped completely. This interview was recorded for episode 5 of the New Culture Forum's landmark documentary series "Heresies" (#NCFHeresies).

Former BBC journalist Robin Aitken (author of "Can We Trust the BBC?") interviews Rod Liddle, his former boss on BBC Radio 4's "Today" programme, about BBC bias and the left's gradual takeover of the national broadcaster -- once a conservative institution -- over several decades. In a wide-ranging discussion covering their experiences at the institution, the gradual erosion of BBC impartiality and the decline of trust in the organisation, Rod Liddle and Robin Aitken also consider whether reform is desirable and achievable or whether the institution should be scrapped completely.

Islam is the fastest-growing faith community in Britain. Domes and minarets are redefining the skylines of towns and cities as mosques become an increasingly prominent feature. Yet while Britain has prided itself on being a global home of cosmopolitanism and modern civilisation, its deep-rooted relationship with Islam is complex, threatened by rising hostility. There is much media debate about embracing diversity in our communities, but what does integration look like on the ground, in places like Dewsbury, Glasgow, Belfast and London? How are Muslims, young and old, reconciling British values - of individualism, the rule of law, free speech & equality between the sexes - with literalist interpretations of their faith? And how is this tension, away from the public gaze, unfolding inside mosques today? In this episode of #SWYSI, author & academic Prof. Ed Husain discusses how his new book "Among the Mosques: A Journey Across Muslim Britain" took him into the heart of Britain's Muslim communities in a search for answers. Travelling the length and breadth of the country, Husain joins men and women in their prayers, conversations, meals etc. He tells their stories here in an open and honest account that brings the daily reality of British Muslim life sharply into focus - a struggle of identity and belonging, caught between tradition and modernity, East and West, revelation and reason. Ed Husain is an adjunct Professor in the Walsh School of Foreign Service in Georgetown University. He is also a writer and political advisor who has worked with leaders and governments across the world. He has held senior fellowships at think tanks in London and New York, including at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) at the height of the Arab uprisings (2010-2015). While at CFR, his policy innovation memo led to the US-led creation of a Geneva-based global fund to help counter terrorism. Husain was a senior advisor to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair (2015-2018). From 2018-2021 he completed his doctoral studies on Western philosophy and Islam under the direction of the English philosopher Sir Roger Scruton. He is the author of The Islamist (Penguin, 2007), The House of Islam: A Global History (Bloomsbury, 2018), and Among the Mosques (Bloomsbury, 2021). His writing has been shortlisted for the George Orwell Prize. A regular contributor to the Spectator magazine, he has appeared on the BBC and CNN and has written for the Telegraph, The Times, the New York Times, the Guardian and other publications.

This time on #SWYSI, we are joined by legendary pollster Frank Luntz. As the world's leading expert on political language & communication, Dr. Luntz is extremely well known in both his native USA as well as the UK, where his advice is eagerly sought by governments and senior politicians. Dr Frank Luntz, has spent the summer working with the Centre for Policy Studies on a landmark survey of the British public’s language and values. He has conducted one of the most extensive polling exercises yet seen, uncovering the public’s sentiments on language and values. (Full report here: https://www.cps.org.uk/media/press-re...) His headline findings are: Britain is not as divided as America - but an alarmingly large segment of the public is deeply disillusioned. Voters are almost as fed up with business as with politicians - presenting a huge challenge for supporters of capitalism and enterprise. Tory and Labour supporters are united by their values - but fundamentally split on policies and priorities. Concern about climate change is cross-party - but ‘woke’ attitudes are far less mainstream than in the US. Voters prefer the Tory party of today to its predecessors - but all voters prefer the Labour Party of Tony Blair to that of Starmer or Corbyn. 43% of Britons feel they are invested in their country, but only 27% feel it is invested in them. 70% of respondents said politicians were in it for themselves or their party, with a mere 9% believing they prioritised their constituents. The key words people chose to describe their attitudes towards politicians were ‘disappointed’ (40%), ‘ignored’ (36%) and ‘fed up’ (30%). Nine of the top 10 answers were negative, with only 14% saying they made them feel ‘hopeful.’ Two thirds of respondents agreed that their attitude to politicians was 'F*** em all', including 78% of Labour voters and 46% of Conservatives. Only 34% of voters think Britain is ‘an exceptional country’ - while as many as 22% think Britain has ‘failed its people’. Full CPS Report here: https://www.cps.org.uk/media/press-re...

A former leader of the Conservatives in the London Assembly, Gareth Bacon MP is a member of the Conservative Party's anti-woke "Common Sense Group" (CSG). This influential group of Conservative Parliamentarians has published a new book with a long-term vision on how the party should adopt "common sense solutions" to crime, immigration and the culture wars. Among the policies proposed are the break up of the BBC, taking on the internet giants, scrapping the Supreme Court, defeating woke-ism, ending hate speech laws, tackling immigration and supporting marriage and the family. Founded by former minister Sir John Hayes, the CSG has more than 60 MPs and peers and is based on the principle that the Tories need to be the party fighting for British values.

Since 9/11, the Western world has been preoccupied with Islam and its role in terrorism. Yet public debate about the faith is polarized—one camp praises "the religion of peace" while the other claims all Muslims are terrorists. In "Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam", Yasmine speaks out as a woman born in the Western world who was forcefully married to a high-ranking member of Al Qaeda. Despite being a first-generation Canadian, she never felt at home in the West. And even though she attended Islamic schools and wore the hijab since age nine, Yasmine never fit in with her Muslim family either. With one foot in each world, Yasmine is far enough removed from both to see them objectively, yet close enough to see them honestly. Part Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, part The Handmaid's Tale, Yasmine's memoir takes readers into a world few Westerners are privy to. As a college educator for over fifteen years, Yasmine's goal is to unveil the truth. Is FGM Islamic or cultural? Is the hijab forced or a choice? Is ISIS a representation of "true" Islam or a radical corruption? And why is there so much conflicting information? Like most insular communities, the Islamic world has both an "outside voice" and an "inside voice." It's all but impossible for bystanders to get a straight answer. Without telling anyone what to believe, Unveiled navigates the rhetoric and guides truth-seekers through media narratives, political correctness, and outright lies while encouraging readers to come to their own conclusions. #SWYSI Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unveiled-Wes... --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Prof. Doug Stokes is a Professor in International Security and Strategy at Exeter University. He writes for numerous publications, including The Spectator, The Critic, The Telegraph and Quilette. In this episode of #SWYSI he discusses the state of free speech in universities and government attempts to offer protection, the top-down imposition of fringe theories such as decolonising education and critical race theory, the left's attempt to deconstruct Western civilisation, the importance of self-reliance and personal responsibility, and the strength of anti-white racism in academia.

On the "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI) sofa this week is veteran journalist and famed political sketchwriter Quentin Letts, formerly of the Daily Mail and now with The Times & the Sunday Times. Taking aim at those in power he perceives to be curbing our freedoms, Quentin Letts decries the nannying, ninnying state in his new book "Stop Bloody Bossing Me About: How We Need To Stop Being Told What To Do". (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stop-Bloody-...) "Hands, face, space. Curfews. Don't drink. Bend your knees. Conform, obey, comply - surrender. British life has become infested by bossiness. Boris Johnson won power as one of life's free-wheelers but his first year as PM saw a fever of finger-wagging. The real pandemic? Passive-aggressive ninnying by politicians, scientists and officialdom. From Sage with its graphs to BBC grandees telling us not to sing 'Rule Britannia', the National Trust with its slavery mania, to calorie counts on menus: why won't they leave us alone? Theatre directors beat us over the head with their agitprop. Militant cyclists scream at us from their saddles. Meghan Markle ticks us off for not being more Californian. Bossiness: did it begin when Moses came down from the mountain with his tablets? Cromwell beat Chris Whitty to it by four centuries and banned Christmas. A. Hitler, B. Mussolini and J.V. Stalin: they liked to throw their weight around, but today's self-serving dictators are more subtle. They do it with a caring smile. Tell us it's for our own good. They claim to be liberals! Following his best-selling Fifty People Who Buggered Up Britain and his 2017 Christmas favourite Patronising Bastards, parliamentary sketchwriter Quentin Letts storms back into hard covers with a vituperative howl against the 'bossocracy'. They tell us what to do, what to say, how to think. Letts gives them a prolonged, resonant raspberry. He names the guilty men and women: Dominic Cummings, Prof Neil Ferguson, that strutting self-polisher Nicola Sturgeon, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cressida Dick, Michael Gove, even the sainted Sir David Attenborough. Bang! They all take a barrel. And then there's publicity-prone plonker Matt Hancock posing for photographs while doing his 'Mr Fit' press-ups. Reasonable people have had enough of being bossed about. And when reasonable people stop respecting the law, society has a problem."

It's a view held by most people, so why has it become so controversial to state that trans women aren't women? On this episode of "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYI) we are joined by Prof. Kathleen Stock OBE, professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex and author of the best-selling book: "Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism". Prof. Stock discusses the issues of sex vs. gender and gender identity, and explains how trans activists, arguing that gender is psychological not physical, now claim that womanhood & manhood are genders in a social, rather than biological, sense. She discusses the possible motives for Stonewall's decision to become so actively involved in trans rights, as well as the vilification of its outspoken critics such as Germaine Greer and Julie Bindell. Prof. Stock has herself been the target of campaigns to silence, cancel and no platform. Prof. Stock also discusses the negative impact the more extreme trans rights positions are having on women (changing rooms, public toilets, prisons etc.) as well as the young, and gays & lesbians.

Many would argue that the Conservative Party hasn't been truly conservative for quite some time. Where can these socially conservative voters turn? In the face of Tory electoral dominance, do smaller right-wing parties have any future in the UK? What should their role & purpose be? What issues should they focus on? Does splitting the right-wing vote pose any potential dangers? What is the future for conservatism in the UK? These are the issues for this episode of #NCFCounterCulture. Our panel: * Patrick O'Flynn, former Political Editor of the Daily Express, sometime UKIP Economic Spokesman, and Member of the European Parliament from 2014 to 2019 (UKIP & SDP). * Robin Aitken MBE, a former BBC journalist who is a leading critic of the BBC and is the author of ""Can We Trust the BBC?" and "The Noble Liar". * Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum, historian, author and broadcaster. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Our guest on this episode of "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI​) is the celebrated British historian, broadcaster & columnist Dominic Sandbrook. Well known for his acclaimed TV documentaries as well as his monumental history books on Britain since the 1950s, Dominic is also a columnist for the Sunday Times and Daily Mail. In a wide-ranging conversation, Dominic and Peter Whittle discuss many topics, including: * The demise of the football Super League and why it matters. Dominic argues that the football club is the only working class institution that people can still identify with and that in large part explains the strength of the reaction to the Super League. * Whether the Labour party will be able to count on working class votes in the future or if their traditional voters have permanently shifted to the right, having been taken for granted by a party they no longer recognise. * America's cultural shift, hyper-polarization and historical iconoclasm. * Cancel Culture and the dangers of the current trend of crude & "stupid" historical revisionism in the UK * The importance of a sound education in history --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

This time on #NCFCounterCulture​ we discuss the politicization of policing in the UK. Has the police's support for politically active groups such as BLM & Stonewall, its double standards / selective policing of different protests and its controversial recording of "non-crime hate incidents", eroded public trust and confidence? What should we make of last week's news that the Home Secretary Priti Patel wants the police to stop recording these "non-hate crime incidents" over fears that the College of Policing's policy is blighting employment prospects and curbing free speech. Joining Peter Whittle to discuss these and many other policing issues are: * Harry Miller of the "Fair Cop" campaign group, which campaigns against attempts to criminialise individuals for expressing opinions that do not contravene any laws. Harry achieved national fame after he was investigated by police for posting a poem on Twitter. A “cohesion officer” from Humberside Police telephoned Harry and told him that, while his tweets had not broken any laws, he should "check his thinking" and not engage in political debate on Twitter “because some people don’t like it”. The officer cited 30 ‘potentially offensive tweets’, but the police have so far refused to identify the tweets they deem to be offensive. Although no crime was committed, sharing the poem online was recorded as a hate incident. * Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum. Historian and commentator. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Film director Martin Durkin, dubbed "the Michael Moore of the right" and perhaps best known to our audiences for "Brexit: The Movie", returns to the #SWYSI​ sofa to discuss his newest documentary, a provocative feature-length film on the politics of race in America. In the "Great American Race Game" (https://greatamericanracegame.com/​) , Durkin explores a number of awkward questions: Has the accusation of ‘racist’ descended into a cheap political slur, used cynically and casually by the American Left to discredit, intimidate and silence political opponents? Are Democrats forced to focus relentlessly on the spectre of Racism, in order to maintain their grip on the ‘black vote’ (without which they would struggle to achieve power)? Does the Left’s embrace of Race as a primary focus, serve to make their otherwise unpopular anti-capitalist politics seem more noble and virtuous? A remarkable number of BLM and Antifa supporters appear to be white university students. Could it be that the Left’s disdain for consumer society, their championing of ‘Trans’ rights, and their obsession with ‘Climate Change’, does not resonate with ordinary black Americans? Are allegations of ‘systemic racism’ used to divert attention from the real problems facing America’s poorest black communities (for example, lousy government schools)? A large number of working-class Americans do not seem enamoured with high taxes and big government, and as a result they vote Republican. This working-class rejection of Socialism is clearly embarrassing for the American Left. Do blanket accusations of racism serve to vilify and dismiss working class Republicans as ‘ignorant racist bigots’? It is said that “All Whites Are Racist”. There is still plenty of racial bigotry in America, as there is elsewhere in the world. It is a terrible thing, and should be exposed, fought and condemned. Racists should be attacked and shamed. But is it helpful, or fair, to accuse people of being racist who are not, to find racism where there is none, and to use the accusation of ‘racist’ indiscriminately as a lazy political insult?

In the wake of the US verdict in the George Floyd case and following the release of Tony Sewell's "Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities" report here in the UK, this week's #SWYSI​ examines the state of race relations in the UK, the left's attitude to ethnic minorities, education and social mobility. Our guest is campaigner Calvin Robinson, a former secondary school teacher who is now Senior Research Fellow at Policy Exchange. He has also been involved with grass roots campaigns to prevent indoctrination of children in schools and to defund the BBC. He has received considerable abuse from the left, much of its racist, for being right wing and black. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

*EXCLUSIVE* In his first interview since being "cancelled" for a comment he made in a 2020 YouTube interview (dealing with slavery & genocide), Dr. David Starkey returns to our #SWYSI​ sofa to explain his remarks and discuss the storm that engulfed him in the immediate aftermath. Dr. Starkey reveals that whilst his social life was broadly unaffected, the impact on his professional life was severe. In this era of woke, when once venerable institutions can no longer be relied upon, Dr. Starkey found himself removed, dropped, ejected or forced to resign from one notable body after another -- from Fitzwilliam College & the University of Cambridge to the British Library & the Royal Historical Society -- with little recourse for appeal. He believes that the institutional elites who choose to react in such harsh ways are creating a stifling, authoritarian culture that is immensely destructive, both to academia and wider society. He draws a comparison between the experience of those who've been "cancelled" by woke extremists with the treatment traditionally meted out to heretics by religious fundamentalists. Dr. Starkey explains how the "mental adventurousism" of creativity, originality and ingenuity that underscored Britain's success and which stands as its best chance for future success against the great powers of China, India etc. cannot surive in such an environment. Dr. Starkey returns to the subect of slavery & genocide to explain what he had originally intended to say. He rejects the left's attempt to draw a comparison between the British Empire / slavery and Nazi Germany / genocide. He also attacks Black Lives Matter and rails against the victimhood culture which he believes is now endemic in the UK and the Anglosphere. He laments the current trend for assuming that America's cultural problems automatically apply also to Britain -- they don't. Britain doesn't have the race relations problems of America, yet BLM and others would have us believe there is no difference.

This time on #SWYSI​, we are joined by Rod Dreher, senior editor at The American Conservative and author of the New York Times best-seller "The Benedict Option", one of the most discussed religious books of the last decade. Rod's newest book is called: "Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Live-Not-Lie...​) In this book, Dreher draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers. "For years, émigrés from the former Soviet bloc have been telling Rod Dreher they see telltale signs of soft totalitarianism cropping up in America--something more Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty-Four. Identity politics are beginning to encroach on every aspect of life. Civil liberties are increasingly seen as a threat to safety. Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hasten the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation. In Live Not By Lies, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism. He explains how the totalitarianism facing us today is based less on overt violence and more on psychological manipulation. He tells the stories of modern-day dissidents--clergy, laity, martyrs, and confessors from the Soviet Union and the captive nations of Europe--who offer practical advice for how to identify and resist totalitarianism in our time. Following the model offered by a prophetic World War II-era pastor who prepared believers in his Eastern European to endure the coming of communism, Live Not By Lies teaches American Christians a method for resistance: - SEE: Acknowledge the reality of the situation. - JUDGE: Assess reality in the light of what we as Christians know to be true. - ACT: Take action to protect truth. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not By Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance." #RodDreher​'s "Live Not By Lies" is available from Amazon and all good book shops: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Live-Not-Lie...​ --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Should hate crimes be treated differently or more severely than other crimes? The shocking murder of Sarah Everard has focussed national attention on violence against women. But should mysogyny be a specific hate crime? The charges brought against the suspect in the Sarah Everard case are for murder and kidnap. Is that sufficient? Or should the murder and kidnap of a woman be treated differently from the murder and kidnap of a man? If misogyny were a hate crime, what would it cover? Whistling and cat calls on the street? Lecherous remarks? By whose/what standard is this to be judged? More broadly, how is it possible to know how much a person's actions are motivated by misogyny or any form of hate? Are all domestic abuse cases mysogynistic?

With the UK Census taking place in 2021, we are going to find out exactly how much Britain has changed over the past decade. What is the effect of demographics on the cultural, political and social makeup of modern Britain and what impact will this have on local communities and the nation as a whole? With the US & Canada set to cease being white majority nations in 2030 and the UK set to cease being a white majority nation at the end of the century, what implications will this have? And why is this subject so controversial?

Andrew Doyle, author, satirist and creator of the social media sensation "Titania McGrath", returns to the #SWYSI​ sofa to discuss his new book: "Free Speech And Why It Matters". (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Free-Speech-...​ ) Free speech is the bedrock of all our liberties, and yet in recent years it has come to be mistrusted. 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. Governments throughout Europe have enacted 'hate speech' legislation to curb the dissemination of objectionable ideas, Silicon Valley tech giants are collaborating to ensure that they control the limitations of public discourse, and campaigners in the US are calling for revisions to the First Amendment. However well-intentioned, these trends represent a threat to the freedoms that our ancestors fought and died to secure. In this incisive and fascinating book, Andrew Doyle addresses head-on the most common concerns of free speech sceptics, and offers a timely and robust defence of this most foundational of principles.

This time on #NCFCounterCulture​: are the current culture wars a phenomenon unique to Western Europe and the Anglosphere or is there a comparable battle taking place in Central and Eastern Europe? Given the loss of freedom these former communist states experienced, how are they dealing with issues of cancel culture and free speech restrictions? Are there any lessons we can draw from this?

On this week's #SWYSI​, we examine the continuing scandal of muslim grooming gangs. Our guest is Maggie Oliver, the detective-turned-whistleblower who resigned from Greater Manchester Police in late 2012 in order to expose the now infamous Rochdale Grooming Scandal. Maggie's relationship with the victims of child rape continues to this day, still fighting for justice for survivors of sexual abuse. This has now led to The Maggie Oliver Foundation being set up with the focus on helping survivors to "Transform Pain into Power".

A recent report from OFCOM suggested that comedy was an endangered species on the BBC. Over the past decade the BBC's comedy output has declined by 40%. What does this mean for the future of comedy? And, indeed, given the degree to which comedy has been affected by issues of free speech and woke attitudes, what consequences do these have for comedy?

Approx. 5 billion people can access the Internet and 25% of Internet searches are for pornography. If one was to watch the entire content of a site such as Porn Hub, it would take 173 years. The vast majority of adults have watched porn, but in recent years one of the fastest-growing groups who regularly consume it are minors, including very young children. Is porn now accepted as mainstream? Is the age of moral panic over porn over? How much do we know about the consequences of watching increasingly extreme / hard core porn? What impact does it have on child development and on our ability to form healthy relationships? How can these be addressed?

Known for his appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience, Rubin Report and, most recently, Jordan Peterson's podcast, Prof. Gad Saad is a world-renowned Canadian evolutionary psychologist at Montreal's Concordia University. He also hosts ‘The Saad Truth’ YouTube channel. In this episode of "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI​), Prof. Saad discusses his best-selling new book, "The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense". This fascinating work exposes how an epidemic of idea pathogens are spreading like a virus and killing common sense in the West. He argues that, as a result, the West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism have become endangered by a series of viral forces in our society today. Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book "12 Rules for Life", Dr. Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of the concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society and how these have created serious consequences that must be remedied - before it’s too late.

This time on "So What You're Saying is...", Peter Whittle is joined by Helen Pluckrose, co-author of the best-selling "Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholars Made Everything about Race, Gender and Identity" and a leading figure in the fight back against Critical Race Theory and Critical Social Justice. Helen is the founder of 'Counterweight', the newly launched "Citizens Advice" service for "culture war casualties". to quote from their website: "Following the death of George Floyd and the BLM protests, new policies and training programmes based on Critical Social Justice ideology suddenly began to be introduced into workplaces, universities and schools. "Many people who found CSJ at odds with their own principles spoke out against this and were formally censured, disciplined or fired for voicing their conscientious objections to the new orthodoxy. Many more self-censored for fear of such consequences. "Thousands of such individuals began to seek help and advice from people who had spoken publicly about the threat to liberal societies posed by Critical Social Justice. We created a Discord server so that we could triage the incoming appeals, prioritise people facing immediate danger of disciplinary action and provide practical information, support and resources to people with less urgent problems. "Individuals can most effectively resist authoritarian impositions of Critical Social Justice beliefs when they thoroughly understand CSJ and can confidently articulate their principled opposition. "Counterweight helps people understand the theoretical basis of CSJ ideology and provides a space where liberal-minded people from across the political spectrum can network and engage in civic discourse."

Dave Rubin, host of The Rubin Report & author of "Don't Burn This Book", returns to "So What You're Saying Is..." to discuss identity politics in the West and what lies ahead for America under a woke Biden presidency. In Biden's first few weeks in office we have seen cabinet appointments and executive orders steeped in identity politics, such as insisting that womens' sport be open to trans competitors. Dave Rubin talks about the state of Trumpism in the USA and whether Trump or a similar figure will be able to carry the movement through to the next election. Rubin believes key elements of Trumpism (patriotism, resistance to critical race theory and the woke agenda etc. etc.) must be saved and carried forward. With almost every institution now dominated by woke ideologues and ideology, Rubin believes the only solution is to start creating new, alternative, non-woke institutions. This is a massive project that would need to cover every imaginable institution, from schools, to tech companies, publishing houses or even banks. How can this be achieved? What do the non-woke need to do? Dave Rubin says opportunities will arise and these must be seized. He is doing this himself through his https://locals.com/​ platform, which aims to provide a free speech safe haven where videos and material can be hosted beyond the reach of Big Tech. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Universities should, almost by definition, be "safe spaces" for free speech, open discourse and wide-ranging debate on all manner of subjects. Yet over the past couple of decades this cherished status has been steadily eroded, with university campuses now more known for deplatforming and cancelling those who hold views deemed unacceptable by vocal woke students and faculty. Joining Peter Whittle on the #NCFCounterCulture​ sofa to discuss this are: * Prof. Jeremy Black MBE, retired professor of history at the University of Exeter and a prolific author. * Prof. Philip Kiszeley, lecturer in cultural history at the University of Leeds. * Emma Webb, Associate Fellow, Civitas. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

This time on "So What You're Saying Is..." Peter Whittle is joined by Andy Ngo, an American journalist best known for covering the extremist Antifa ("Anti-fascist") movement. While the term "Antifa" has become well known in recent years, most people know little about this far-left movement of anarchists, communists and other radicals. When Ngo was attacked in the streets by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa. In his eagerly anticipated new book "Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy", Andy Ngo tells the story of this violent extremist movement from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former followers of the group, people who've been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life. This book contains a trove of documents obtained by the author, published for the first time ever. As a result of his investigations, Ngo was forced to flee his hometown of Portland Oregon due to Antifa death threats. Ngo is editor-at-large of The Post Millennial news website and has published columns in publications such as the Wall Street Journal and The Spectator.

This time on "So What You're Saying Is...", Peter Whittle chats with Jonathan Myles-Lea, Britain's pre-eminent painter of country houses and a champion of traditional Britain, its arts, culture & heritage. A favourite of HRH The Prince of Wales, Jonathan is the only artist to have had a painting featured as the cover of Country Life magazine. Jonathan is a long-time opponent of identity politics and the "Long March" through the cultural institutions. He believes the radical woke agenda that guides our national institutions -- and which was revealed for all to see during the Black Lives Matter movement -- is causing incalculable, and possibly irreparable, damage not only to culture, but to the nation itself.

Britain doesn’t feel very free at the moment. And that’s bad news for Britain, certainly, but also for the world. Because – uniquely – British identity and our long heritage is rooted in the ideal of individual liberty. But what does this mean in the age of Covid? In the first of a new documentary series from the New Culture Forum, author and journalist Marc Sidwell takes on this very question. Featuring interviews with the likes of Sir Graham Brady, Baroness Claire Fox, Dan Hannan and Harry Miller, this documentary explores the history of British liberty, and what we can learn from it during these trying times.

This time on "So What You're Saying Is....", Peter Whittle is joined once again by Brendan O'Neill, editor of Spiked Online and a columnist for various national and international publications. A lockdown sceptic, Brendan believes the tier system is horrendously damaging. He also finds the phrase "the new normal" unbelievably scary, believing it should worry us all. When people assume almost total control of our lives to the extent that they tell us when we can leave our house, who we can hug at Christmas, when we can travel and go to work, when we can go to pubs and restaurants and what we must eat whilst we are there, they are not just going to relinquish that. There are a lot of people who like telling people what to do, and they've had a real taste for authoritarianism over the past year and it will be a really big wrestle to take back our freedom from those that took them away. Covid & Class: The attacks on pubs in particular reeks of classism, Brendan O'Neill argues. But also during lockdown those who were comfortable probably had a pleasant experience, living in their larger homes, with their secure jobs and the ability to order food from companies such as Deliveroo. Meanwhile, for the rest of society life was unbearable. Lockdown revealed an important class divide -- one which was not refelected by the (middle class) media. Brendan also believes that Boris has bottled it on the culture wars. His silence during all of the momentous events of the past few months (Black Lives Matter, statue controversies, legacy of Churchill and the singing of Rule Britannia at The Last Night of the Proms, national institutions auditing their collections based on connections to slavery etc.) should be a major source of concern for everyone. Nevertheless, he thinks the Tories still have time to retain their advantage over Labour because Keir Starmer and Labour are far too woke and out of touch with the Red Wall. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

What is "The Great Reset"? An initiative of the World Economic Forum, the WEF describes it as follows: "There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative." But what does this really mean and how might it affect nations and people? What is the intention of the Great Reset and why is it so controversial? Is there more to this than meets the eye? Should we be concerned? Joining us on #NCFCounterCulture to discuss this are: * James Delingpole, writer, journalist, columnist and Executive Editor of Breitbart London * Ben Sixsmith, a writer and contributor to The Spectator & Quilette who has written extensively about The Great Reset. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

In the earliest stages of Covid-19, Peter Hitchens was one of the few public voices who was opposed to the lockdown and the tactics that were being employed. As time has proved him correct, he regrets but is not surprised that he has not been afforded greater media exposure during this crisis. He thinks it absurd that there has been so little proper criticism or opposition to the government's measures and that journalists are so placid in their questioning of ministers. Most of these meausres are neither proportionate nor of much use, yet the public have embraced them wholeheartedly. This he believes is akin to doing things out of supersitition. The government, he argues, has embarked on the biggest and most expensive propaganda campaign in peacetime, to concince the British public to commit acts of enormous self harm that were wholly disproportionate and unjustifiable in relation to the severity of the pandemic. He wonders what lies ahead for transport and big cities if people are no longer commuting in to city centres and if office space declines, with all the knock-on effects that will have for businesses that depend on offices and office workers. He points out that no-one should be surprised by public institutions such as the National Trust and British Library becoming involved in political controversies such as Black Lives Matter. This was always going to be the result once the left had completed its "Long March" through the institutions. The left's silent revolution is a fait accompli, and now they are enacting and reacting in accordance with their ideology. He explains that much of the current "social justice" and culture war problems we see today originates in the Equalities Act of 2010, an Act brought in by the Labour Government but one which the Conservative Party -- which by this point had become a Blairite Party led by the Blairite David Cameron -- did little to oppose. "If I were under 30 I'd have left (Britain) long ago", Hitchens states. "I've never seen a country more finished -- and I've seen some finished countries." The problem Britain faces is that with our 2 party system (which Hitchens supports), it is impossible for a new party to rise up until there is a vacancy. This is how the Labour Party emerged to replace the Liberal Party -- and this is the only way that the Conservative Party or Labour Party will in turn be replaced. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's #NCFCounterCulture we provide an update on the "Save Our Statues" campaign, which was launched during the summer of Black Lives Matter attacks on historic British statues. Topics discussed include various official "audits" of collections in order to identify individuals with alleged links to slavery and the slave trade, however tenuous or risible these might be. These range from the Welsh Government's survey of historic statues to the British Library's review of figures including such unlikely -- and implausible -- characters such as Oscar Wilde, George Orwell and the poet Ted Hughes. In London it has been revealed that Sadiq Khan's commission on statues etc. has already cost £250,000. This means that Londoners are footing the bill for these politicized reviews. On the positive side: The National Trust has had a huge decline in revenue due to collapse in both new and renewing memberships. The National Trust's review was also criticized by the head of the Charity Commission, who said that charitable organisations should not involve themselves in such divisive issues. The application to remove the listed statues of Thomas Guy & Sir Robert Clayton at, respectively, Guy's & St. Thomas's Hospital have been removed following receipt of some 600 public complaints (due in part to the campaigning of Save Our Statues). Government ministers have been speaking a bit more vocally and positively on these cultural issues. What we need to see now is some form of legislation or other means of formal protection. The panel: Peter Whittle, Founder & Chairman of Save Our Statues Richard Bingley, General Secretary of S.O.S. Robert Poll, Online & Social Media Coordinator for S.O.S. Emma Webb from Civitas, Executive Member of S.O.S. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's "So What You're Saying is..." #SWYSI, Peter Whittle has a wide-ranging discussion with The Rt Hon Ann Widdecombe, covering everything from Brexit & Nigel Farage's Reform Party to the culture wars & the Law Commission's terrifying proposal to expand anti-hate speech laws to private residences. Brexit: Ms. Widdecombe's fear since 2016 has been a "half Brexit", with the UK officially out of the EU, but remaining tied and bound by its rules without any representation. Now, with the Brexit deadline looming, the veteran politician believes any true Brexit is very seriously in peril. From the government of Therea May to Boris Johnson, we have reached this point through a combination of incompetence, lack of will and a degree of institutional resistance. Boris Johnson: For Ms. Widdecombe, a former Conservative MP & minister, the problem with Boris Johnson is that he is chaotic and entirely reliant on others to keep him and the show on the road. She believes he is genuinely pro-Brexit and a libertarian but has been captured by the other side, especially after falling ill with Covid. Covid-19: The country requires strong, firm leadership in the face of adversity yet, instead, the Johnson Government has flip-flopped throughout the coronavirus crisis, appearing timid at best. Whilst she dismisses conspiracy theories alleging there is a plot to permanently remove civil liberties in the UK, Ms. Widdecombe believes Britons' temporary loss of liberties was and is entirely unnecessary as the UK should have followed a Swedish-style approach in its response to Covid. Ms. Widdecombe believes churches should have remained open in the first lockdown but is pleased that, having had time to get safety procedures in place, the churches have now adopted a more common-sense approach to the second lockdown. Ms. Widdecombe is extremely concerned about the Law Commission's recommendation that anti-hate speech laws should be applied to conversations in our own homes. This, she argues, is the sort of totalitarian measure one has hitherto only seen in regimes such as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union -- certainly not in a country famed for the old adage: "an Englishman's home is his castle". Woke Culture Wars: From cancel culture to the toppling of statues, Ms. Widdecombe is deeply concerned about the radical woke iconoclasts who seek to undermine British identity by attacking its history and culture. She does not understand why the Government, police and other institutions are so placid and reluctant to stand up and defend Britain. Reform Party: Asked about Nigel Farage's new "Reform Party", the former Brexit Party MEP stated that she supports the new party's 2 principal aims: securing a proper Brexit and avoiding further national lockdowns. Once Brexit is concluded and Covid-19 has been dealt with, however, the party's principal aim will be electoral reform -- and whilst she is in favour of a smaller House of Lords and House of Commons, Ms. Widdecombe will oppose any attempt to abolish the "First Past The Post" system.

What impact will the defeat of Donald Trump & the resignation of Dominic Cummings have in the so-called "culture wars"? Both individuals were seen as the torchbearers for their nations' conservative pushback and the attempt to reverse the Left's "long march through the institutions". Does the election of Joe Biden in the USA and the growing influence in the Conservative Party of progressive figures such as Boris Johnson's wife, Carrie Symonds, mean that the right has lost the culture wars for the forseeable future? To discuss this on #NCFCounterCulture this week we are joined by: * Prof. Frank Furedi, emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Kent and "the UK's most widely-quoted sociologist". * Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum, historian, author and commentator. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Masculinity has reached a moment of crisis. From the erosion of unifying institutions such as marriage to a rise in male suicide rates, these are particularly turbulent times to be a man. Increasing numbers of men are finding themselves anchorless, uprooted from the conventions and certainties of their forefathers. Today masculinity itself has come under attack, relentlessly maligned in the media. Now, more than ever, the long and perilous journey from infant to old age is fraught with strange complexities, moral dichotomies and maddening contradictions. So, what does it mean to be a man in the twenty-first century? How can today's men lead a more fulfilling existence? Joining Peter Whittle on this week's "So What You're Saying is..." to discuss these subjects is James Innes-Smith, author of the new book "The Seven Ages of Man: How To Live A Meaningful Life". (https://www.amazon.co.uk/War-Masculin...) James Innes-Smith is a British author and journalist. He has written for a number of publications including the Daily Telegraph, Spectator, The Times, Evening Standard, Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, Standpoint and The Oldie. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

The erosion of civil liberties such as freedom of speech was a great concern to some prior to the Covid-19 pandemic -- however the actions of governments since the outbreak, including curtailing freedom of movement and freedom of assembly, have caused a much wider swathe of society to express extreme concern about Britain's direction of travel. Are people right to be concerned or is this an over-reaction? Should we be prepared to give up some civli liberties for the greater good or do we need to defend these above all else? If lost, are they gone forever or can they be retrieved in their full form?

On this week's #SWYSI, Peter Whittle is joined by his London Assembly colleague David Kurten, leader of the newly launched Heritage Party (https://www.heritageparty.org/). They discuss the London police's selective approach to policing protests -- apparently turning a blind eye to Black Lives Matter & Extinction Rebellion whilst coming down hard on anti-Lockdown protestors. For David, it seems as if we have "political policing": those causes Mayor Sadiq Khan supports get a free pass whereas those that he dislikes get the full force of the law. David Kurten, a scientist with a Master's degree in chemistry, questions a lot of the Covid information that the mainstream media are reporting. He also provides an insight into the mindset that pervades the London Assembly and what he thinks of the policies of Mayor Khan, whom he hopes to replace at the next election. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's SWYSI we speak with an eminent expert on the morality of empire and nationalism who has personal experience of cancel culture and public denunciation, after both students and other professors condemned his "Ethics & Empire" project at the University of Oxford. Prof. Nigel Biggar is Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford and canon of Christ Church Cathedral. He is an expert in the ethics of nationalism and empire; the ethics of individual rights and of jurisprudence about them; ‘just war’ reasoning; the concept of proportionality; and the moral vocation of universities. Prof. Biggar rebuts many of the hackneyed tropes we hear about Britain, the British Empire and historical figures. He explains that Cecil Rhodes was not the colonial racist many in the BLM movmement perceive him to have been. He also argues at length for a balanced view of the British Empire and its historical legacy -- one that accepts the positive benefits it brought rather than focussing exclusively on its negative aspects. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, Benjamin Loughnane, communications consultant and theologian, argues that England's sacred choral music is also a victim of the long march through the institutions and needs to be defended/protected. To quote: "Our culture is under attack. And not just from the vandals who pull down our statues There is a quiet, pernicious threat throughout our institutions – every area of our culture is in danger. "Sacred music is the new battleground. And it is the churches themselves who are engaged in this vandalism. Such as Sheffield Cathedral who have elected to drop their choir. Throughout the country many churches and cathedrals are doing the same. On what grounds? Well, we know their excuses – it is deemed elitist and not diverse enough. "These integral parts of British culture and history are being scrapped for the most tenuous, farcical reasons. Such as those who claimed that people singing in church will spread coronavirus. "Whatever the reason, it is nonsense. The real reason is that those who hate our culture and our christian heritage will stop at nothing to obliterate it in all forms. Choral music is not going to spread plague. "English choral music is under attack because it is part of the cultural fabric of the nation. It is an awkward reminder that we are a Christian country. Now, whether you believe in god or not, england’s culture and history is inextricably Christian. Honest people understand this and they take history as it is. "Attempts to destroy this must be resisted, and those who try to destroy it are tyrants. They wish to force their world view on you. Something as simple as a group of people singing in a church is an act of resistance against these tyrants. "We must protect and preserve our choral tradition, our culture depends on it. Not just because the music is pleasant. But because it is how ordinary people can rebel against the cultural vampires who wish to suck the life out of our society. "We do not need a revolution to protect our culture, we just need to continue to engage in that culture and pass it on to the next generation. That which was entrusted to us by previous generations is not the property of this generation to squander "We do not have the right to sit idly by as insurgents tear to the ground everything which ties us to our past. One of the attacks launched against choral music is that it is ‘elitist’ and not ‘inclusive’ enough. "Tell that to all those who have escaped poverty on choir scholarships at top schools and universities. Such scholarships which for hundreds of years have driven social mobility, as did the grammar schools which faced similar attacks under successive governments twenty years ago. "Nothing is more elitist than politicians, journalists, and bishops demolishing paths out of poverty and telling ordinary people that they cannot appreciate traditional music. Choral music is for everyone, it serves an important social function, and above all is exceptionally beautiful. "You may feel powerless against the cultural vandals. But you are not. By continuing to support your local church choir you are rebelling – righteously, and in style."

Overshadowed by Covid-19 and BLM, another issue has been causing great concern in many quarters for some time: sex education. As of Sept 2020, sex education is now compulsory in our state schools [while parents can withdraw their children, in practice this is meaningless as most parents are unaware they have such a right and, indeed, unaware of what is being taught]. From trans rights to Muslim parents picketing a school in Birmingham, sex ed is dividing opinion and causing great controversy. But why? That is the subject of this week's episode of #NCFCounterCulture.

Dr. Philip Kiszely, lecturer in cultural history at the University of Leeds, is this week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI). In a recent article for Spiked Online Dr. Kiszely argued that we are now at a tipping point in our cultural history which requires us to stand up against the dangerous identitarian narrative we have seen most visibly during the BLM protests of recent months but which now also permeates much of wider society. The simplistic "hero" and "villains" version of history we are seeing today is all about division. History is far too complex to interpret in this way yet these tropes have become deeply embedded not only with the younger generation but apparently also amongst the older middle classes. This identitarian narrative, especially its attempt to racialise history, is dangerous to society and needs to be countered with more inclusive approaches. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Dr. Niall McCrae is a senior mental health lecturer at King's College London and co-author of "Year of the Bat: Globalisation, China & the Coronavirus". Dr. McCrae argues that the Covid-19 pandemic has given rise to an illiberal and authoritarian global social hygiene regime. To quote: "I remember in January watching news clips from Wuhan in China, where the coronavirus outbreak began. At a police road block on a dual carriageway, a man on his way to work wound his window down and his forehead temperature was taken. He was ordered out of the vehicle, to be immediately taken into quarantine. He protested, and was beaten to the ground and pummelled by thuggish police. "Such abuse of human rights couldn’t happen in the West, could it? Well, look at the state of Victoria in Australia. The governor, nicknamed Kim Jong Dan, has imposed a severe lockdown with ruthless policing. A man heavily fined for taking out his rubbish without a mask. A young woman throttled by a male officer for the same offence. A pregnant woman arrested at home in front of her children for incitement. Inciting what? Encouraging Facebook friends to attend a freedom protest. "A long-running cartoon in the satirical Viz comic is the "Bottom Inspectors". The hygiene Gestapo who check you’ve wiped yourself properly. In the latest edition they look even more sinister, with their Covid-19 visors. Who would have believed we’d be living this dystopia. "This Covid regime is for controlling us, not the virus. But why are so many people in favour of this denial of basic liberties? This is about social class and morality. The supposedly liberal, progressive establishment is imposing its authority on the "great unwashed" You need to be told to wash your hands, to keep your distance, and to muzzle yourselves. "Of course mask-wearing isn’t based on science. It’s not much more effective than a string vest to stop mosquito bites, but masks have become a moral fault line. Sophisticated middle-class people wear them as a means of virtue-signalling. The wearer is a GOOD person, unlike the selfish ignoramuses who reject what the Guardian describes as ‘our shared reality’. "This is Cultural "Mask-ism" "The pandemic has exposed the fallacy of liberal progress. The harshest Covid-19 discipline is in countries led by left-of-centre leaders, such as Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand. Because they care. Meanwhile supposedly authoritarian presidents such as Donald Trump and Jaio Bolsanora prefer less extreme restrictions. "Our establishment is keen to instil a new normal. There’s scant opposition from politicians, trade unions, students, human rights campaigners, celebrities. Rock stars and actresses seem unperturbed at this indefinite loss of limelight. Instead of speaking out, they’re all conformists. Not edgy at all. "Look on Twitter and you’ll see middle-class snobs celebrating the aggressive policing of anti-lockdown protests, and the persecution of Piers Corbyn. "These fraudulent liberals have no respect for Enlightenment values – freedom of speech subverted by cancel culture. Democracy – they tried to overturn the EU referendum result. And equality before the law - the blatant hypocrisy in promoting Black Lives Matter and Extinction Rebellion demos while accusing lockdown protestors of killing people. "The masked moralisers are neither liberal, nor hygienic. Our pavements are strewn with discarded face masks. Who’s really being irresponsible? "Cicero asserted ‘The health of the people is the highest law’. The Chinese Communist Party has shown how to exploit this noble duty for totalitarian ends. How sad that the civil democracies of the West chose to follow Beijing, and to trash individual liberties for a rigid collectivism." --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications)

Andrew Klavan, host of The Daily Wire's "The Andrew Klavan Show", returns to #SWYSI to chat about America's intensifying culture wars and what might happen if Donald Trump loses the upcoming election. Speaking from L.A, Andrew explains how Covid, BLM & woke virtue signalling have made the city almost intolerable to live in. He laments that across the US -- but particularly in increasingly lawless cities run by the Democrats -- the police are being attacked and prevented from maintaining law and order. Unfortunately, continues Andrew, America has also succumbed to "the Long March through the institutions", and so the violence of the far left is ignored and overlooked by the mainstream media, who focus instead on the violence of extremists on the right. Even worse, the media say that the left's violence is justified -- something we have never witnessed before. If Trump is re-elected Andrew is hopeful there will be a reckoning with these institutions and a clearing out of their houses -- as we've seen with Trump's war on "critical race theory". However if Trump loses he fears that these institutions will become increasingly extreme in their bias. The end result, Andrew fears, is that America may risk its unique freedoms -- such as a level of freedom of speech that even advanced democracies such as the U.K. do not have. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this week's #NCFNewspeak, student writer & commentator Freya Laidlow-Petersen argues for an end to the politicisation of our schools and the degeneration of our education system -- where teachers too often see themselves as "agents of social change". The "decolonise the curriculum" movement is not simply a spontaneous off-shoot of this year’s events. For example, “Global Education for All” is one of the United Nations’ agendas to be fulfilled by 2030. It sounds wonderful but a closer look at what this agenda actually entails, Freya argues, reveals less of a movement to truly educate and inspire children around the world, and more of a push to standardise children with the same worldview and the same limited knowledge and capacity for independent thought. Around the world, education policy makers seem set on this course of action. Douglas Bourn, the Director of the University College London Development Education Research Centre, released a document entitled “Teachers as agents of social change”. Bourn considers politicisation to be an essential aspect of the schooling system he and other education leaders envisage – he says that “whilst there have been debates about the need for teachers not to be political, this is an impossible demand because refraining from taking a political stance is itself a political act”. He mentions the Global Teachers Award which includes activities for teachers to “measure changes in attitudes of their pupils” Freya believes it is too simplistic therefore to put the decline of our schools solely down to the notion of most teachers being left-wing. We have had “Conservative” ministers of education for the past decade, with the so-called “global dimension” being incorporated into the national curriculum from September 2013, under the former Conservative education minister, Michael Gove. For Freya, the result of this is firstly politicisation, which is the inevitable result of the gradual centralisation and standardisation of the system over the years. The other issue is the steep decline of intellectual aspiration in many schools. This decline is partly due to the limiting curricula, and partly due to certain teaching methods which have taken hold in the classroom. Our mainstream schools, Freya concludes, do not effectively nurture education, but often tend to stunt children in their cognitive ability, give them a disjointed view of the world, and withhold the joy and wonder of real learning. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) JOIN US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Web: http://www.newcultureforum.org.uk F: https://www.facebook.com/NCultureForum/ Y: http://www.youtube.com/c/NewCultureForum T: http://www.twitter.com/NewCultureForum (@NewCultureForum)

This week on #SWYSI, Peter Whittle speaks with Nick Buckley MBE, the award-winning founder of the ground-breaking charity Mancunian Way, who was sacked from his position in June after criticising the far-Left political agenda of the Black Lives Matter campaign. Mr Buckley was dismissed by the trustees of the charity he founded nine years ago, after an online mob accused him of ‘inappropriate’ and ‘insensitive’ views and demanded his removal. Mr Buckley, who was awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List for his work with vulnerable youngsters across Manchester, wrote a blog post that sparked uproar for warning of the ‘neo-Marxist’ policies of Black Lives Matter UK – which include tearing down capitalism and abolishing the police – and saying they risked dividing communities. Campaigners branded him a racist and launched an online petition demanding that he be sacked. He was dismissed within days. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Andrew Doyle, creator of "Titania McGrath" (a parody of a militant social justice warrior) and co-creator of "Jonathan Pie", returns to the "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI) sofa to discuss "Titania's" hilarious new book: "My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism" Doyle wrote the book as a parody of the many heavily-politicised woke childrens' books that are currently being published in an attempt to indoctrinate our children. To quote: "Aimed at activists from the age of six months to six years, Titania's book will help cultivate a new progressive generation. In a series of groundbreaking and poignant chapters, she will take you on a journey with some of the most inspiring individuals in history, such as Emmeline Pankhurst, Meghan Markle, Nelson Mandela, Hillary Clinton and Joseph Stalin." Whilst his book is humorous, Doyle wrote it to help expose a serious issue that extends far beyond childrens' books: namely, the flagrant indoctrination of children in the education system, where children are taught pseudo-history and controversial theories about gender, white privilege etc. Some are even told to ignore their parents' views where those views contradict classroom teaching. Such biased teaching, Doyle argues, is very likely illegal according to the 1996 Education Act. Yet our politicians remain silent on this issue.

With the release of the paperback version of his best-selling book "The Madness of Crowds", Douglas Murray returns to the #SWYSI sofa to chat with Peter Whittle about the current state of the culture wars in Britain and the West. Murray believes the heart of the current #BLM problem we see in the USA is that America's youth are taught that their country has committed more harm than any other. As we've seen, this lamentable view is very real and present in the UK, too. Such ignorance, Murray continues, is most present amongst the members of the elite, whose children have been expensively educated to believe clear and blatant falsehoods. Although some thought the issue of trans in sports was the "tipping point" that would cause society's pendulum to swing back to a more sensible state of affairs, Douglas Murray argues that recent history is littered with similar "tipping point" moments (not least in the area of Islamic terrorism) and that these have proved, at best, damp squibs. Nevertheless, Murray does believe the voices of opposition to such madness are growing, hearteningly from the left, too. He highlights the importance of people like JK Rowling making their voices heard to "argue the truth". To preserve their sanity, Douglas suggests people try their best to depoliticize their lives. He believes that young people have been misled by thinking that purpose in life is achieved through political activism. If one thinks that everything in life is politics, then those who disagree become unmentionables -- people who have bad intentions. That causes a harsh division that is not healthy or sustainable.

On this week's #SWYSI, our guest is Michael Collins, author of "Likes of Us: A Biography of the White Working Class" (in which he argues that in the wake of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, the white working class were cast as wholesale racist cattle by the liberal press whilst the rightwing press mocked their tastes and attitudes). Brought up in London's Elephant and Castle, where his family had lived for generations, Collins believes that middle-class condescension towards the white working class is nothing new. Missionaries from other classes have always descended to study, influence, patronise, politicise, socially engineer, and now to demonise them. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

In response to the #BLM protests, The Archbishop of Canterbury has called for a review of statues in Anglican churches and cathedrals. He also called on the Church of England (of which he is principal leader) to reconsider its artistic portrayal of Jesus as white (even though other cultures depict Jesus as black, Chinese etc. etc. ). Shortly after, an ancient cathedral choir was reported to be disbanding due to lack of diversity. This comes at a time when the gap between clergy & laity seems to grow ever wider. Despite the fact that the majority of people who attend Anglican church services voted for Brexit and hold generally conservative views, the Archbishop and his fellow bishops have also used the pulpit to denounce Brexit, criticise capitalism, promote immigration/open borders and oppose specific policies of the Conservative government such as Universal Credit. Many believe the Church has also failed in its duty to minister to the needs of its followers during the Covid-19 crisis (the greatest crisis since World War Two), when all church buildings were closed *before* the government lockdown. In the midst of such suffering and sorrow, many faithful sought spirtual as much as physical healing -- yet they found the doors to their places of worship locked. Joining Peter Whittle to discuss this are: * Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, Historian & Broadcaster * Benjamin Loughnane, Theologian & Consultant * Marc Sidwell, Deputy Editor of Smith Magazine & author of our new publication "The Long March" -------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Laurence Fox first appeared on "So What You're Saying Is..." a few weeks before his celebrated -- to some, controversial -- appearance on BBC Question Time. He now returns to the #SWYSI sofa to tell us what impact the subsequent storm of controversy has had on his life, his family & career and, indeed, on his own outlook on life & society. Disturbed by both Black Lives Matter & Extinction Rebellion, Laurence discusses the damage woke ideology is causing to British institutions (including RADA, from which he graduated), the nation and its heritage. He dismisses the fragility, narrow mindedness & arrogance of the progressive woke extremists but believes they & their religious fervour shall become increasingly irrelevant to society as the public switch to multi-platformed new media. Laurence & Peter Whittle also discuss our reaction to Covid-19, whether the lockdown, fear & continuing measures are an over-reaction and when or if we shall ever return to a state of normality. --------------- To join or support the New Culture Forum's SOS: SAVE OUR STATUES campaign click here: https://saveourstatues.org.uk --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Britain's arts, theatrical & creative industries have faced unprecedented pressure during the Covid-19 lockdown, with most of them facing oblivion. As a result, to the consternation of free marketeers, the Government has announced a bailout of £1.57 billion. Meanwhile, the Black Lives Matter cultural crisis has materialised. What effect will these developments have on the future of the arts and, indeed, on our attitude towards the arts? Our panel: * Robin Aitken MBE: former BBC journalist & author of "Can We Trust the BBC?" and "The Noble Liar: How and why the BBC Distorts the News to Promote a Liberal Agenda." * William Cook: Arts journalist (Spectator, Independent, BBC, New Statesman etc.) and author. * Dr. Jacob Phillips: Associate Professor at St. Mary's University who writes about the Arts. * Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum: Historian, Author & Broadcaster. -------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

On this episode of "So What You're Saying Is..." our guest is Kevin Hurley, the former police & crime commissioner & ex- Met Police chief who recently made headlines after Sky News's Adam Boulton seemed to cut him off for saying that officers have 'given up' trying to stop young black men carrying weapons and accusing #BLM of aiming to destabilise society. Hugely disturbed by recent scenes of police retreating or running away from scenes of mass anti-social behaviour, the former detective superintendent believes that constables have 'given up' enforcing the law on young black Britons for fear of jeopardising their careers. Policing in the UK, he believes, has changed since the huge riots of 2011, which he regards as a "crushing defeat" and an appalling failure of strategic leadership and preparation. The police tactic then and since appears to be one of simply waiting for rioters to get tired. Mr. Hurley argues that the senior leadership of the police are the root of the problem and have lost the confidence of the rest of the police force (constables and sergeants etc.). The police who are in the front line have become demoralised by the actions and statements of their leaders, he continues. #SWYSI --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

Prof. Frank Furedi returns to "So What You're Saying Is..." to discuss his new book *Why Borders Matter: Why Humanity Must Relearn the Art of Drawing Boundaries*, in which Furedi argues that Western society has become estranged from the borders and social boundaries that have for centuries given meaning to human experience. This book argues that the controversy surrounding mass migration and physical borders runs in parallel and is closely connected to the debates surrounding the symbolic boundaries people need to guide on the issues of everyday life. Numerous commentators claim that borders have become irrelevant in the age of mass migration and globalisation. Some go so far as to argue for ‘No Borders’. And it is not merely the boundaries that divide nations that are under attack! The traditional boundaries that separate adults from children, or men from women, or humans from animals, or citizens and non-citizens, or the private from the public sphere are often condemned as arbitrary, unnatural, and even unjust. Paradoxically, the attempt to alter or abolish conventional boundaries coexists with the imperative of constructing new ones. No-Border campaigners call for safe spaces. Opponents of cultural appropriation demand the policing of language and advocates of identity politics are busy building boundaries to keep out would-be encroachers on their identity. Furedi argues that the key driver of the confusion surrounding borders and boundaries is the difficulty that society has in endowing experience with meaning. The most striking symptom of this trend is the cultural devaluation of the act of judgment, which has led to a loss of clarity about the moral boundaries in everyday life. The infantilisation of adults that runs in tandem with the adultification of children offers a striking example of the consequence of non-judgmentalism.

According to a recent poll, 78% of people feel that they have to walk on egg shells when discussing certain issues. This poll was commissioned by the Campaign for Common Sense -- and the founder of this organisation is this week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI) The Campaign for Common Sense (http://www.campaigncommonsense.com) describes itself as follows: "The Campaign for Common Sense (CCS) exists to bring together those who want to have a grown up discussion and debate. "We will conduct research, and organise events online and across the country, involving experts in all fields and bring them to the widest possible audience. We will be champions for free speech and tolerance. "We will be asking… "What does diversity actually mean and does it really matter? "Should statues of historical figures be removed because of modern values? "Is there anything that we shouldn’t joke about? "Should the police be prioritising language on social media over fighting street crime? "Are schools there to teach kids what to think, or to help them think for themselves? "Is Britain bigger than Brexit? "Should people be able to speak their mind at work? "Does positive discrimination work? "What views and arguments should be banned from debates? "Can children consent to changing their gender?" --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on itunes or Soundcloud.

With Sir Winston Churchill back in the news, this week's guest on #SWYSI is the leading historian Andrew Roberts, author of arguably the finest one-volume Churchill biography (now available in paperback: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Churchill-Wa...) Mr. Roberts explains that the recent attack on Churchill (both his reputation and his statue in Parliament Square) is merely the most recent of a long line of attacks dating back some considerable time. These have ben orchestrated by the extreme left and are a key part of the current culture war that is underway in Britain. Criticising the lacklustre response of police and institutions to the BLM attacks, Mr. Roberts warns that this culture war reaches far beyond assaults on statues and historic figures and legacies. The BLM movement is merely part of the longer march through the instiutions as the left attempts to forever change the face and identiy of Britain. Mr. Roberts highlights the problem of Britain's education system, particularly the refusal to believe in heroes or espouse the "great man/woman" approach to teaching history. Welcoming Boris Johnson's tweets in support of Churchill following the attack, Mr. Roberts believes the PM needs to go further and back up his comments with direct action. From Galipolli to the future of Europe, Peter Whittle and Mr. Roberts discuss Churchill's greatness, his long, prodigious & varied career as well as the qualities, background and life events that together forged his character. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) PAYPAL/ CARD PAYMENTS - ONE TIME & MONTHLY: You can donate in a variety of ways via our website: http://www.newcultureforum.org.uk/#do...

Britain's most iconic national heroes (incl. Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Francis Drake & Lord Nelson) have been denounced by #BLM protestors, with calls for their memorials to be demolished or banished. In response -- and without any public consultation -- institutions, councils and companies have made highly controversial & polarising decisions regarding some of the most visible elements of British culture, history & identity, from the removal of historic statues to the renaming of public spaces and even the banning of some of the nation's favourite comedy shows/episodes. Is Britain now engaged in a full-blown culture war and what is the end result likely to be? Are today's youth being failed by schools & universities or are they receiving a balanced education about British history, the British Empire and slavery past & present?

On #NCFCounterCulture this week our panel discuss why dissenting views on lockdown and approaches to tackling coronavirus, even when expressed by leading scientists and experts, are increasingly marginalised in both the MSM and on social media, where censorship is widespread & deplatforming rising. This is all the more worrying given that the justification for lockdown in the UK appears to have changed considerably over time -- a situation that necessitates close scrutiny, discussion and transparency if public trust is to be maintained.

This week on "So What You're Saying Is....", Peter is joined by stand-up comedian and economics expert Dominic Frisby, who speaks about his new book: "Daylight Robbery: How Tax Shaped Our Past & Will Shape Our Future", big government, and what the economic consequences of Covid-19 will be for the UK. Dominic explains why tax is far from the dry subject one might think. After all, he posits, tax is power. If a king, ruler or government loses its tax reveneue it loses its power. Tax is also how a society & its destiny is shaped. Almost every great event in history has a tax story behind it. Every war is funded by some sort of tax either before or after the event. Every conquest includes taxing the tax base. But tax also features in completely unexpected places, not least events surrounding the birth & death of Jesus Christ. From the Great War to Covid-19, Dominic Frisby explains the significance of tax policy etc and the societal impact it had and may have. --------------- SUPPORT/DONATE: "So What You're Saying Is.." is still very new and to continue to produce quality programming we need your support.

On this week's NCF CounterCulture, we are joined by Dr. Niall McCrae & Prof. Michael Rainsborough, the authors of a new report by the UK think tank Civitas on China, Globalisation & the Coranavirus. In their report, Niall McCrae and Michael Rainsborough (a.k.a. M.L.R. Smith) argue that, as the virus proliferated, China tried to cover up the contagion and did little to stop its worldwide spread from the initial source in Wuhan. In the absence of proper scrutiny and accountability, international organisations like the World Health Organisation (WHO) have become captured by the interests of authoritarian states. Beholden to Beijing, the WHO was complicit in failing to pass on adequate warning of the seriousness of the pandemic. The claim that the infection began at a traditional ‘wet market’ has become a convenient narrative, possibly masking other sources in China. The report finds that while the pandemic was made in China, the conditions that gave rise to the current situation also arose from the assumptions of globalist thinking in the West. Globalist approaches have underpinned extraordinarily poor policy choices. A resetting of the international order is now needed. In considering ‘where to go’ in the aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis, the authors argue for a mix of practical policy responses in order to sustain a genuine liberal international system, rather than one consisting of multinational institutions. It argues that the Chinese state should be regarded as a rival ideological power – and Britain should not regard itself as China’s ‘best partner in the West’. Ultimately, they conclude China and the World Health Organisation must be investigated for their handling of Covid-19, particularly in the early stage of the contagion. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) PAYPAL/ CARD PAYMENTS - ONE TIME & MONTHLY: You can donate in a variety of ways via our website: http://www.newcultureforum.org.uk/#do...

This week on #SWYSI, Peter Whittle's guest is author and journalist Ed West. Sitting firmly on the right, West is the deputy editor of UnHerd and was previously deputy editor of The Catholic Herald and a columnist for The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator. In his new book, "Small Men on The Wrong Side of History: The Decline, Fall & Unlikely Return of Conservatism", West argues that conservatives have lost almost every political argument since 1945. Ed looks at this litany of failure from the perspective of one of the losers. Since the 1950s, Ed argues, the western world has gone through a huge cultural shift, comparable to the rise of Christianity during the late Roman period and the 16th century religious revolution unleashed by Martin Luther. Both of these led to profound changes in public ideas about morality and sexuality, and eventually to 'culture wars' between two deeply opposed groups. Today what we're witnessing is a sort of second Reformation, and that's why it's going to be long, painful and boring, and both sides are going to get more idiotic and hysterical, just as religious divisions once drove Catholics and Protestants into prolonged insanity. According to West, conservatives, like the pagans and Catholics before them, are very much on the losing side. The future appears progressive and their defeat is inevitable, part of an 'arc of history' that leads irrevocably to a progressive utopia in which they're left in the dustbin. As Barack Obama said of al-Qaeda, another group of guys not entirely comfortable with the modern world, conservatives are 'Small Men on the Wrong Side of History'. In West's opinion, too many polemics and articles on the Right are tediously shouty, and too few of them explore where their arguments have fallen flat and why people find conservatives so repulsive. Small Men on the Wrong Side of History is aimed at being the rare conservative book that someone on the Left will enjoy. West looks at some of the idiocies of the modern Right and the strange characteristics shared by conservatives, including himself, but he also offers explanations as to why people are conservative, and explain some of the benefits conservatism offers. In particular he argues it's now necessary as a break on 'runaway liberalism', the competitive desire to appear Woker Than Thou which is driving progressive politics to extremes, and which has provoked a reaction with figures like the psychologist Jordan Peterson and his legion of fans. --------------- SUPPORT/DONATE: "So What You're Saying Is.." is still very new and to continue to produce quality programming we need your support.

This week on "So What You're Saying Is...": Dr. David Starkey argues that a calamitous series of events and decisions caused a panicked British government to recklessly abandon its sensible coronavirus plan for one that is likely to harm the nation far more than the virus itself. Comparing this virus with historical pandemics Starkey believes the dire situation we are encountering today has a different cause. Earlier pandemics such as the Black Death eradicated up to half of the population of Europe. In contrast, although it is profoundly tragic on a personal level to the individuals and familiies it afflicts, coronavirus is nowhere near as devastating on a population-wide level as previous pandemics. Consequently, Starkey argues, the Conservative government was correct to follow a similar path to Sweden which was far more relaxed than elsewhere in Europe. This approach suited Prime MInister Boris Johnson's libertarian attitude and personality. But on a single weekend there was a calamitous confluence of events and decisions that caused the Tory government to panic (Northwick Park hospital overwhelmed, Imperial College modelling showing potential 500,00 deaths etc.) and enforce an extreme lockdown without any plan to deal with the epidemic. It was simply a goal to protect the NHS. Protect the NHS: The Tory Government, says Dr. Starkey, was desperate not to be seen as responsible or the NHS being overwhelmed. Eager to prove to the traditional Labour "Red Wall" that the Conservative Party really was their natural home, the British government prioritised the NHS's capacity to deal with Covid-19 over everything else-- but disastrously this included its treatment of cancer patients etc. A bizarre and unprecdented abandoning of the Hypocratic oath that we have not seen in other countries, argues Starkey. --------------- SUPPORT/DONATE: "So What You're Saying Is.." is still very new and to continue to produce quality programming we need your support.

During the lockdown these are now available world via Zoom and YouTube: www.therenaissanceworkshop.com Jon is motivated by the passionate belief that the creative and intellectual legacy of Western Culture, from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period, is something that can be profoundly empowering for individuals and can stimulate artistic advancement today. Jon feels stronglythat in this time of lockdown, we cannot allow ourselves to become culturally and creatively emaciated. We can still participate in Western heritage and draw meaning and value from it. He founded The Renaissance Workshop with the aim of widening participation in traditional Western art and heritage in order to enable people to connect to our culture in a practical and life-enhancing way. He now believes that in this time of social isolation, we need not be alone; we may interact with the legacy of those who generated and shaped our cultural heritage through the arts and humanities and thus bring their contributions into the living present. The Renaissance Workshop is an arts and humanities initiative which offers life drawing classes in the 15th and 16th c. tradition and workshops exploring the history and development of Western art and culture. Jon promotes a positive vision of western heritage and aims to widen participation with its legacy. He has adapted his teaching to the lockdown moving all his classes online on YouTube and Zoom.

Dave Rubin, host of The Rubin Report -- YouTube's largest free speech talk show -- joins "So What You're Saying Is..." this week to talk about his brand new book *Don't Burn This Book*, "a road map for free thinking in an increasingly censored world". Speaking from the R.R. studio in his Los Angeles home, Dave also discusses President Trump and his chances in the 2020 Presidential Election, as well as the tensions arising from the US federal & state governments' handling of Coronavirus . "Don't Burn This Book" is available from Amazon UK & Waterstones. Synopsis: "The left is no longer liberal. Once on the side of free speech and tolerance, progressives now ban speakers from college campuses, "cancel" people who aren't up to date on the latest genders, and force religious people to violate their conscience. They have abandoned the battle of ideas and have begun fighting a battle of feelings. This uncomfortable truth has turned moderates and true liberals into the politically homeless class. "Now, Rubin gives you the tools you need to think for yourself in an age when tribal outrage is the only available alternative. Based on his own story as well as his experiences from the front lines of the free speech wars, this book will empower you to make up your own mind about what you believe on any issue and teach you the fine art of: • Checking your facts, not your privilege, when it comes to today's most pervasive myths, from the wage gap and gun violence to climate change and hate crimes. • Standing up to the mob against today's absurd PC culture, when differences of opinion can bring relationships, professional or personal, to a sudden end. • Defending classically liberal principles such as individual rights and limited government, because freedom is impossible without them.

In the third week of the UK's coronavirus lockdown, CounterCulture discusses the state of our culture and whether it is generally in good health. What can we expect to happen in our culture in the weeks and months ahead. How have we reacted as a nation? How have our institutions handled the crisis? How has the media portrayed the situation and how open has it been to differing opinions? The panel this week: Peter Whittle (Host: Founder & Director of the New Culture Forum) Daniel Johnson: Founding Editor of The Article & contributing editor to The Critiic. Brendan O'Neill: Columnist, Podcaster & Editor of Spiked Online Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum, Historian & Broadcaster

[Recorded prior to the UK government's imposition of social distancing measures to combat the spread of coronavirus.] Is there "good" and "bad" feminism? According to today's "4th wave" feminists there is. They seem keen to shut down critical debate on certain issues (such as the #MeToo movement, gender pay gap and trans rights) -- even where those being shut down include leading figures in the traditional feminist movement (e.g. Germaine Greer, Julie Bindell etc.). Traditional feminism sought to empower women to take control of their destiny, assert themselves and personally battle misogyny. Modern feminism, by contrast, seems to suggest that women are victims who need protections as they are incapable of defending or advancing their own interests. Does this mean that women are being infantilized, their agency to negotiate their social and sexual engagements removed? Have today's "4th wave feminists" created a hostile environment which alienates the majority of women? Joining Marc Sidwell on this week's #NCFCounterculture are 4 women champions of free speech who appear frequently on television and radio to debate and discuss current affairs: * Emily Carver of the Institute of Economic Affairs. * Claire Fox, founder of the Institute of Ideas and former M.E.P. for the Brexit Party. * Lionel Shriver, novelist and journalist best known for her novel "We Need To Talk About Kevin", which one the Orange Prize in 2005. * Ella Whelan assistant editor at spiked, specialising in the relationship between free speech, feminism and women's liberation.

This week on #SWYSI, Peter Hitchens attacks the UK government's Coronavirus lockdown policy ("the Great Panic") and explains why its enthusiastic embrace by the British public disturbs him greatly. From the outset, Hitchens maintained that restricting civil liberties, locking down a healthy population, and stalling a healthy economy are very dangerous -- and reckless -- activities that risk irreparable harm to individuals, society and the nation. Indeed, he argues that they are a threat to our very way of life.

As coronavirus/covid19 grips the world, historian Tom Holland reflects on the impact past pandemics and plagues had on the Ancient World and whether any lessons can be drawn from historical experience. Holland & "So What You're Saying Is..." host Peter Whittle also discuss his recent book *Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind* (titled Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World for the U.S. edition), in which he examines Christianity's influence on Western civilization. Holland argues that Christianity's influence continues to be seen in ethics and cultural norms throughout the world today, even when the religion itself is rejected: "To live in a western country is to live in a society still utterly saturated by Christian concepts and assumptions."

Comedian Simon Evans (BBC TV's "Live at the Apollo" & "Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow", BBC Radio 4's "News Quiz" & "Simon Evans Goes to Market" etc.) is often described as a "right-wing comedian" and has written and presented a radio show on the subject (BBC Radio 4's "Simon Evans is Right"). He has also appeared on various current affairs discussion shows (including BBC's "Question Time", "The Big Questions" and "This Week" with Andrew Neil). On this week's episode of #SWYSI, Simon and Peter Whittle discuss the state and variety of modern comedy and whether it is correct to state that it is dominated primarily by left-wing comedians. Simon also compares today's comedy with that of previous decades. This interview was recorded during Simon's tour promoting his new show “The Work of the Devil”, which he describes as unlike most stand-up performances in that, far from his usual detached style of show, it is an intimate and “personal revelation” that is unexpected and extraordinary. At the time of taping, coronavirus had not spread to the extent that public events were being cancelled. Please check: www.TheSimonEvans.com for details of future tour dates.

2.21 Lionel Shriver: Coronavirus, Woody Allen & Defending Free Speech by New Culture Forum

Peter's guest this week is Darren Grimes, the political activist and commentator who took on the might of the establishment and won. Darren was wrongly fined by the Electoral Commission and faced financial ruin at the age of 23 when he decided to fight back and took his case all the way to the High Court. He shares with us his journey so far, his thoughts on current affairs and what the future might hold in newly-blue 'red wall' seats the Tories picked up at the last election.

* Simon Evans (BBC Live At The Apollo; Michael McIntyre's Road Show; Rado 4 News Quiz, etc.) * Konstantin Kisin (Jewish Comedian of the Year; Triggernometry, free speech media pundit, etc.) * Dominic Frisby (co-Host's "Money Pit" on Dave; "17 Million F*&K Offs" Brexit hit song; Brexit Party PPC, etc.) * Rafe Heydel-Mankoo (Historian & Broadcaster with huge knowledge of 20th C. British Comedy) On this week's #NCFCounterCulture with Marc Sidwell, our expert panel, including three seasoned veterans of the stand-up circuit -- some of whom are often "accused" of being right wing -- believe great comedy is out there...just not necessarily on the BBC. BBC comedy is regularly criticised for its dominance by comedians sharing a left-wing / liberal / woke viewpoint. Critics claim this imbalance excludes comedians and comedic subjects that do not fit with this world view -- and thus falls flat for a large % of the British public. Are they correct? If so, is this an issue for the BBC alone? Or is it evidence that comedy as a whole is struggling in the era of "Woke", where comedians must constantly self censor for fear of causing offence or having promising careers curtailed by a Twitter storm? Our panel believes that comedy is in fact thriving & maybe in a new Golden Age -- if only the British public were better exposed to it or knew where to look. Thankfully, the rise of Netflix, YouTube and other new online platforms means that viewers no longer need to have their comedy "approved" by the state broadcaster's commissioning editors. The market now decides who is funny -- and many of the comedians faring best have had little to no exposure on the mainstream media.

"If you're young and not a liberal you have no heart. If you're over 35 and still a liberal you have no head." How accurate is that oft-quoted stereotype? If only those aged 18-25 were eligible to vote in the recent General Election, then Jeremy Corbyn's Labour would have had a majority of over 500 seats, with Boris Johnson's Tories reduced to a pitiful 4 seats. With this in mind, does the Conservative Party have a future in British politics? How will they be able to get re-elected decades from now? Or are reports correct that the youngest generation (Generation Z) proving to be more conservative than the preceding generation of Millenials? Joining Peter Whittle this week to discuss this is a panel of Young Tories: Emily Hewertson: 19 year old member of the Conservative Party who became a national sensation following her spirited contribution during an episode of BBC's Question Time. Dominique Samuels: Originally of Turning Point UK, Dominique left TP to become President of the newest voice for conservative youth: Orthodox Conservatives Jake Scott: A Ph.D. candidate who is Head of Philosophy & Ideology at Orthodox Conservatives Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum, resident guest panellist on CounterCulture and an "old" High Tory, Historian and Broadcaster.

THE PANEL: Dr. John Barry: chartered psychologist, honorary lecturer with the Department of Psychology at University College London (UCL), member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), founder of the Male Psychology Network and the Gender Equity Network. In addition, he is a campaigner for the creation of a Male Psychology Section of the BPS, author of over 40 publications in peer-reviewed journals, a clinical hypnotherapist and Director of Research for the Male Psychology Network. Belinda Brown: Journalist who writes for the Daily Mail and Conservative Woman on gender issues and feminism. Martin Daubney: Best known as a Member of the European Parliament for the Brexit Party, Martin Daubney is also co-founder of the "Men & Boys Coalition" and was also a long-time editor of lad's mag "Loaded" magazine. Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum, historian & broadcaster. On #NCFCounterCulture this week, our panel discuss the myth of Toxic Masculinity and highly questionable statements on the "harmfulness" of "traditional masculinity" by gender studies academics as well as the American Psychological Association. Questions addressed: Are men under attack? Is there a gender pay gap? Why are white working-class males the most disadvantaged group in the United Kingdom? Why do men account for 3/4 of suicides? And why is suicide the leading cause of death for males under the age of 50? The panel argue that it is a LACK of masculinity that is the problem facing society today. (Such as fatherless families)

What type of Conservative is Boris Johnson? On this week's episode of #NCFCounterCulture we discuss the future of conservatism now that Boris Johnson has been returned as Prime Minister with a large majority following the 2019 General Election. The Tories could be in power for the next 10 years. But what kind of conservatism will steer the ship of state? Will the Thatcherites in cabinet take back control? Or will Boris Johnson find himself needing to pander to his new voters in the North of England, taken from the Labour Party in their collapsing Red Wall? Is there even such a thing as "Johnsonism"? Joining host Marc Sidwell on this week's panel to discuss this are: Douglas Chirnside, Documentary Maker and PPC for the Brexit Party in the 2019 Election Rafe Heydel-Mankoo of the New Culture Forum, Historian & Broadcaster Mark Wallace, Chief Executive of Conservative Home Jamie Whyte, Editor of Smith Magazine & past Research Director at the Institute for Economic Affairs

On this week's NCF CounterCulture, our panel look 10 years into the future and make their predictions on what Britain might look like in 2030. With 5 and possibly 10 years of Conservative government ahead, how might Boris Johnson seek to alter the nation over the next decade? What will be the threats Britain will face? Following the House of Lords' attempt to thwart Brexit, will Lords reform become inevitable? Will recent events involving the Royal Family (i.e. the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan) have any implications for the future of the Monarchy? What impact will immigration have on Britain in 2030? Will we still be free to think and speak as much as we do today? Joining Peter Whittle on this week's panel are: Richard Bingley (Security Expert & Founder of NSA think tank) Benjamin Loughnane (Communications Consultant specialising in Migration) Rafe Heydel-Mankoo (New Culture Forum, Historian & Broadcaster specialising in British identity) Emma Webb (Civitas, specialising in Integration, Democracy & Extremism) #NCFCounterCulture

As the 2020s get underway, the BBC might seem as powerful as ever; but, PM Boris Johnson's government is boycotting key current affairs programmes and threatens to decriminalise the licence fee for non-payment. This week's panel debates BBC ethos, ideology and funding models and discusses whether the BBC is a national treasure that must be preserved or a wholly biased institution ripe for reform or even abolition. HOST: Marc Sidwell, Journalist and Author THE PANEL: * DAVID COX: TV producer & former head of current affairs for LWT (London Weekend Television) * JAMES DELINGPOLE: Writer, Journalist and Columnist * RAFE HEYDEL-MANKOO: Historian, Writer and Broadcaster * SOPHIE SANDOR: Writer and Documentary Maker #NCFCounterCulture

This week on CounterCulture, the panel debate whether the political shenanigans post Brexit referendum have damaged Britain and its institutions and how they are perceived by the British public. Joining Rafe Heydel-Mankoo are journalists & political and cultural commentators: Tim Stanley Madeline Grant Tom Harwood David Oldroyd-Bolt Among the questions explored are: * Is Britain broken? If so, was it broken by Brexit or did Brexit merely reveal long-existing damage? * Peter Oborne's book "Triumph of the Political Class": Has the post-1997 political class ushered in by Blair & Mandelson and continued by Brown & Cameron brought us here? Will they triumph or collapse?. * What, if anything, has Brexit exposed/revealed about us, our elites, institutions and nation/union? * What dangers, if any, are posed by a great swathe of the British public having this "revelation". Once seen by the British public, can it be "unseen"? * What happens now? Can/Should Britain be fixed? Is it worth fixing? * Is Brexit/the General Election about to prematurely force the political realignment in British politics that some have seen coming for some time? (Dr. Stephen Davies, Prof. Matthew Goodwin thesis: politics is aligning on cultural/values lines rather than class: Thus we would have Brexit party + Blue Labour + Tory "right" on one side and Labour right + Tory left + Lib Dems on the other) #NCFCounterCulture

The New Culture Forum is proud to present the first episode of our brand new roundtable discussion programme: CounterCulture. The sister show to our interview programme, "So What You're Saying Is...", CounterCulture will bring together 4 different guest panellists each week to discuss all the new things happening in our culture (books, films, music etc.) as well as the big philosophical and cultural issues that are defining our society and public discourse at the moment. In this episode we shall be looking at the biggest film of the moment: JOKER directed by Todd Philips and starring Joaquin Phoenix as the lead character. It's quite controversial depending on which part of the political spectrum you come from, but its arguably the best film of the year and has been a huge hit at the box office. Panellists today are: Agnieszka Kolek, co-founder of the Passion for Freedom festival Marc Sidwell, Deputy Editor of Smith magazine Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, Historian and Commentator Richard Bingley, Security Analyst and Author

Pope Francis's disastrous record includes betraying suppressed Chinese Catholics, failure on sex abuse, and surrounding himself with disreputable characters who are causing immense damage to the Church, claims conservative commentator Charles Coloumbe on this week's #SWYSI. As for his native land, people would be shocked to discover what a controversial figure Francis is today in Argentina, argues Charles -- suggesting this might explain why he has yet to return there. These are a few of the many failings of Pope Francis according to Traditional Catholic Charles Coulombe. For Charles, the basic premise of the Netflix production "The Two Popes", namely that Pope Francis was more saintly than Benedict XVI, reversed reality. Turning to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Charles argues that Meghan, willingly and knowingly entered a system (the Royal Family) that she neither liked nor believed in -- and proceeded to try to change it and completely transform Prince Harry. "If you don't like it, don't do it!". Charles believes that, for all her many faults, even The Duchess of Windsor (Wallace Simpson) would have made a better job of this than Meghan has. This is because The Duchess of Windsor believed in the institution of Monarchy and understood the role -- a role she craved. As an American Trad Catholic Monarchist from liberal Los Angeles, conservative commentator Charles Coulombe's traditionalism has been forged and tested at the coal face. This -- along with his early career as a stand-up comic -- may explain his successes in public debates and as a columnist and contributing editor for publications such as the National Catholic Register. He frequently contributes to publications including the Catholic Herald, American Thinker and New Oxford Review. Charles is the author of over 15 books primarily on British and European Monarchy & Catholicism but also on the pleasure of alcohol, titles include: "Vicars of Christ: History of the Popes"; "The Star Spangled Crown: A Simple Guide To The American Monarchy"; and "The Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI". Charles Coulombe has his own YouTube podcast, TUMBLAR HOUSE, which may be visited via this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiYNKjd0Xvj5GE5dr-9n65A

Our guest this week on #SWYSI is long-standing BBC Journalist Robin Aitken MBE. Robin is the author of "Can We Trust the BBC?" And "The Noble Liar", in which he examines why and how the BBC is biased against conservatism. Robin was the first guest on #SWYSI in January 2019 and so it is a great pleasure to welcome him back just over a year later to reflect on the scenario we now face: a conservative government with a strong majority unwilling to play the BBC game and a clear desire to shake up the institution.

This week on "So What You're Saying Is...", Peter Whittle interviews Harry Miller, 1 week after his High Court victory against Humberside Police. The High Court ruled that the police response to the ex-officer's allegedly transphobic tweets was unlawful. Harry Miller was visited by Humberside Police at work in January last year after a complaint about his tweets. He was told he had not committed a crime, but it would be recorded as a non-crime "hate incident". The court found the force's actions were a "disproportionate interference" with his right to freedom of expression. Officers visited Mr Miller's workplace and then spoke with him on the phone, and he was left with the impression "that he might be prosecuted if he continued to tweet", according to a judge. Speaking after the ruling, Mr Miller, from Lincolnshire, said: "This is a watershed moment for liberty - the police were wrong to visit my workplace, wrong to 'check my thinking'." His solicitor Paul Conrathe added: "It is a strong warning to local police forces not to interfere with people's free speech rights on matters of significant controversy." Mr Justice Julian Knowles said the effect of police turning up at Mr Miller's place of work "because of his political opinions must not be underestimated". He added: "To do so would be to undervalue a cardinal democratic freedom".

This week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is...", is journalist and education campaigner Toby Young. Toby is one of Britain's best-known journalists. Now writing for The Spectator and Quilette, he founded a magazine called The Modern Review and also wrote for Vanity Fair. His best--selling book, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People", was later made into a film. He's also a champion for free schools and has founded 4 of them. His latest project is the Free Speech Union, a mass membership organisation dedicated to protecting free speech, which is increasingly under threat. The F.S.U. will be a mass membership organisation that stands up for the speech rights of its members and aims to create a more tolerant atmosphere on social media and other platforms. So if a member is targetted by a social media outrage mob for the inadvertent use of certain language, a taboo word or for dissenting from the prevailing orthodoxy, the FSU will mobilise on social media and its members will come to their defence on social media. If they are accused of something, the member will be put through some form of due process to check the evidence so that they aren't just presumed to be guilty and cast out as Sir Roger Scruton was when George Eaton of The New Statesman passed incorrect information out via social media, which led to a campaign of hate against Scruton, ultimately resulting in Sir Roger losing his position as a Government adviser. The way in which veteran ITN journalist Alistair Stewart was treated & fired is another example -- as was Toby Young's own experience at the hands of a social media mob.

Zuby, the self-styled "Jordan Peterson of rap", is this week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is...". The weight-lifting hip hop artist became an unlikely feminist icon for demonstrating that athletes who are genetically male should not be competing alongside women. In 2019 he was filmed smashing the British women’s deadlift record, in which the weights are raised from the ground to thigh level, while he said he was “identifying as a woman”. The video went viral on the Internet. The Oxford University graduate beat the UK women’s bench press record too, joking that his work was “strong, stunning and brave”.

With free speech increasingly under threat on our university campuses, it is encouraging to note the start of a resistance movement amongst the student populations. James Oliver is a Ph.D. student who co-founded a Free Speech Society at the University of Buckingham in 2019 after learning that conservative writer Peter Hitchens had been "no platformed" at the University of Portsmouth by that university's student union. Given Mr. Hitchens' long commitment to free speech and academic freedom, Mr. Oliver thought the time had come to take a stand in defence of universities' age-old position as the pre-eminent forum for exposure to all manner of ideas and opinions. Peter Hitchens was the keynote speaker at their inaugural event.

The UK's most quoted sociologist, Frank Furedi is emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Kent, and specialises on the sociology of fear, education, therapy culture and paranoid parenting. As explained in his 2018 book, "How Fear Works: The Culture of Fear in the 21st Century", fear has now assumed the commanding moral position in society. Over the past 20 years as society's basic values, beliefs and ideologies have declined or disappeared from public life, so increasingly fear is used to legitimize their arguments and causes. Virtually every moral, political or economic position is justified in terms of scaremongering. And this transcends the ideological divide as both the left and the right put forward a message of fear rather than hope. As our children grow, instead of teaching them about good, positive values like prudence, courage or loyalty we instill fear in them as well as teaching them tricks to avoid dealing with their fears. Children must be constantly validated and cannot be criticised or disciplined. This is leading to a generation who are unable to deal with life and who describe insignificant issues as "stresses" and "challenges". So many normal problems, which were once described as being shy or introverted or awkward, are now regarded as medical conditions, whereas in reality these are due to not being normally socialised, kept protected from confrontation & failure, and taught how to deal with challenges.vThe UK's most quoted sociologist, Frank Furedi is emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Kent, and specialises on the sociology of fear, education, therapy culture and paranoid parenting.

On 9 Dec. 2019, Dr. David Starkey delivered the New Culture Forum's annual Smith Lecture to a sold-out audience in central London. The theme was "Brexit & Our Constitutional Crisis: History's Lesson & Its Historical Patterns"

This week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is..." is actor, singer & songwriter Laurence Fox, who made newspaper headlines several times last month for various comments criticizing "leftisim" at R.A.D.A., identity politics in the arts, and the hypocrisy of "woke" celebrities who support MeToo and ExtinctionRebellion movements whilst wearing revealing dresses and travelling on private jets. Mr. Fox, part of the famous Fox dynasty of actors (which includes his father, James, and uncle, Edward), is perhaps best known for playing the leading role of DS James Hathaway in the Inspector Morse spin-off TV series "Lewis" (2006-2015) and from his roles in films such as Gosford Park and Elizabeth: The Golden Age. More recently, however, (in 2018), Mr. Fox joined the ITV series Victoria, playing the role of Lord Palmerston for its third series, which first aired in 2019. A singer and songwriter, Laurence Fox's latest album includes a song ("Dead in the Eye") that targets politically correct woke culture, which he likens to a new religion.

Simon Heffer is an English historian, journalist, author and political commentator. He has published several biographies and a series of books on the social history of Great Britain from the mid-nineteenth century until the end of the First World War. He was appointed professorial research fellow at the University of Buckingham in 2017. He worked as a columnist for the Daily Mail and since 2015 has had a weekly column in the Sunday Telegraph. As a political commentator, Heffer takes a socially and constitutionally conservative position. Heffer's most recent book is "Staring at God: Britain in the Great War"

This week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is..." is Theodore Dalrymple, the English writer, doctor and psychiatrist. Dalrymple is a contributing editor to City Journal, published by the Manhattan Institute, where he is the Dietrich Weismann Fellow. In addition to City Journal, his work has appeared in The British Medical Journal, The Times, The Observer, The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator, The Salisbury Review, National Review, New English Review, and Axess magasin. He is the author of a number of books, including Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass; Our Culture, What's Left of It; and Spoilt Rotten: The Toxic Cult of Sentimentality. In his writing, Dalrymple frequently argues that the socially liberal and progressive views prevalent within Western intellectual circles minimise the responsibility of individuals for their own actions and undermine traditional mores, contributing to the formation within prosperous countries of an underclass afflicted by endemic violence, criminality, sexually transmitted diseases, welfare dependency, and drug abuse. Much of Dalrymple's writing is based on his experience of working with criminals and the mentally ill.

On this week's episode of So What You're Saying Is, Peter Whittle interviews Andrew, Lord Green -- founder and chairman of the independent think tank Migration Watch. He was for 12 years a board member of Christian Solidarity Worldwide (a human rights organisation which speaks for Christians and others around the world who are suffering persecution for their religious beliefs). Lord Green was a career civil servant prior to founding Migration Watch in 2001. Joining the Diplomatic Service in 1965, he spent half his career in the Middle East where he served in six posts. The remainder of his service was divided between London, Paris, and Washington DC. He was HM Ambassador in Syria (1991–94) and then Director for the Middle East at the Foreign Office, before serving for four and a half years as ambassador in Saudi Arabia. He retired in 2000. He was appointed to the Order of St Michael and St George as a Companion (CMG) in the 1991 Birthday Honours and was promoted as a Knight Commander (KCMG) in the 1998 Birthday Honours. On 21 October 2014 it was announced that Sir Andrew Green was to be created a life peer on David Cameron's personal recommendation for Green's "proven record of public service." He was duly raised to the peerage as Baron Green of Deddington, in the County of Oxfordshire on 28 November 2014. Lord Green sits on the cross benches in the House of Lords.

In this full-legnth interview, Thatcher's Official Biographer reveals for the first time some remarkable facts from his new biography, including: * Sir John Major's role in Thatcher's overthrow, * Thatcher's early commitment to climate change * Thatcher's desire whilst in office for the British public to decide on Britain's place in EC through both a general election and a referendum * secret channels opened up between the British government and South Africa's ANC * remarkable exchanges between Nelson Mandela and the British Prime Minister The Three decades after Thatcher left office, why does Britain's most successful Prime Minister remain such a divisive figure? What will history deem her greatest achievement, failure and legacy? Ultimately, was she a radical or a traditionalist? This week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is..." is Charles Moore, Official Biographer of Margaret Thatcher and former editor of The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator and The Sunday Telegraph. Charles joins Peter Whittle to discuss the third and final volume of his bestselling and definitive biography of Britain's first female Prime Minister, 'One of the great biographical achievements of our times' (Sunday Times) This volume tells the story of her last period in office, her combative retirement and the controversy that surrounded her even in death. It includes the Fall of the Berlin Wall which she had fought for and the rise of the modern EU which she feared. It lays bare her growing quarrels with colleagues and reveals the truth about her political assassination by her own MPs. Moore's biography of Britain's most important peacetime prime minister paints an intimate political and personal portrait of the victories and defeats, the iron will but surprising vulnerability of the woman who dominated in an age of male power. Charles Moore notes that "Whenever I go on the BBC they always start: 'Margaret Thatcher was the most divisive P.M....' rather than stating 'Margaret Thatcher was the most successful P.M...." "Whatever one thinks of her as a leader, it is factually true that she was politically successful: * The longest-serving prime minister won every election.. * She won them all with big majorities * She brought in most of the measures she wanted to. * She has a set of doctrines are named after her. * She was the first female prime minister. * She was a hugely prestigious global figure by the late 1980s, having been the senior world leader by as early as 1982. * She helped end the Cold War and was celebrated as an heroic figure in central and Eastern Europe. She also correctly forecast that the European Community's plan to tie post-reunification Germany down and stop it being a threat by placing it at the heart of an increasingly centralised European Union, tied to other European states also through a common currency, would backfire & lead to Germany dominating the continent.

Melanie Phillips is one of Britain's leading political journalists and cultural commentators, and as a champion of traditional Judeo-Christian culture and values, she is famed across the Anglosphere for her trenchant views. The first person to ever address the New Culture Forum upon its foundation in 2006, Ms. Phillips has written at various times for The Mail, The Guardian, The Spectator, The Times, The Jerusalem Post and The Jewish Chronicle. She is familiar to many in the UK from her appearances on BBC's "Moral Maze", "Question Time" and "Politics Live" and in the wider world as the author of numerous best-selling books, including "Londonistan" and most recently "Guardian Angel". In this interview with Peter Whittle she explains how Brexit has seen Parliament attempt a coup against the people. She comments on the defeatisim and lack of resolve in the west, which for too long has failed to stand up for itself. Brexit and some of the more palatable forms of populism she believes are a backlash against that. Never a member of any political party -- she has only subscribed to two "isms", journalism and Judaism -- Melanie explains in her recently published personal and political memoir "GUARDIAN ANGEL", why she moved from left to right -- and to Israel. Anti-semitism played an important part in this and Melanie Phillips comments on the disturbing rise of anti-semitism on the left (as in Corbyn's Labour Party) For Ms. Phillips, the horror of the second world war and the holocaust occurring in a cultured continent, did something terrible to the Western / European idea of progress, civilisation and believes the nation state unfairly got the blame for this. Herein lie the roots of so much of the loathing for the nation state among many members of the modern liberal elite.

In November 2018 the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims, chaired by Anna Soubry MP, published its report, Islamophobia Defined, to establish a working definition of Islamophobia. Subsequently the definition has been adopted by local councils and political parties, even before the Home Affairs Select Committee concluded their assessment of the proposed definition. In the wake of this our guest, Emma Webb, produced an anthology that brought together concerns about the APPG definition of Islamophobia from a variety of perspectives. It included atheist, secularist, religious and academic assessments of why the Islamophobia definition is not only unfit for purpose, but also poses a danger to civil liberties in the United Kingdom, particularly freedom of expression, and journalistic and academic freedom.

This week, Peter is joined by acclaimed writer and journalist Douglas Murray to discuss his superb new book "The Madness of Crowds": "In his devastating new book, Douglas Murray examines the twenty-first century's most divisive issues: sexuality, gender, technology and race. He reveals the astonishing new culture wars playing out in our workplaces, universities, schools and homes in the names of social justice, identity politics and 'intersectionality'. We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and a weaponization of identity, both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media. Narrow sets of interests now dominate the agenda as society becomes more and more tribal – and, as Murray shows, the casualties are mounting. Persons of all political persuasions cannot afford to ignore Murray's masterfully argued and fiercely provocative book, in which he seeks to inject some sense into the discussion around this generation's most complicated issues. He ends with an impassioned call for free speech, shared common values and sanity in an age of mass hysteria."

Sir James MacMillan is one of today’s most successful composers and is also internationally active as a conductor. His musical language is flooded with influences from his Scottish heritage, Catholic faith, social conscience and close connection with Celtic folk music, blended with influences from Far Eastern, Scandinavian and Eastern European music. In this interview Sir James recounts the guilt he felt about about toying with communism in his youth, composing his first piece of music at the age of 10, and the importance to his life played by sacred music. He holds that unlike other areas of art, music contains a spirituality not found in paintings or the spoken word. Thus, there is an acknowledgement and openmindedness among musicians of music's Judeo-Christian heritage/origins. This is something he feels many in the wider artistic world find perplexing and difficult to understand or accept. Consequently there is an assumption that one's political allegiances must be broader left politically. He touches on the Scottish Referendum which, whilst not initially a Left-Right divide, has since seen the nationalist side become very left wing and anti-English. On the broader subject of philosophy, he mentions the derision and almost chilling response received to comments he made about the philosophy underscoring much classical music -- in particular, when he had occasion to quote Sir Roger Scruton. Sir James also laments the chance encounters the public might have with classical music are on the wane. Sir James and other musicians he knows first discovered classical music on BBC 1 etc. Yet today those opportunities are few and far between if not forever removed. He feels this is particularly regrettable given the strong position in which British classical music currently finds itself -- especially in comparison with the "top down culture" that drives current German and French classical music, and which the public finds hard to relate to.

He has been described as "the scourge of the greens" and "one of the environmentalists' favourite hate figures".

James Cary is the creator & writer of BBC Radio 4's Award-winning comedy series, Think the Unthinkable. Cary co-created & co-wrote the BBC Three series Bluestone 42, and has also contributed to the TV comedy show Miranda & My Family. In April 2017, Cary was identified as one of the few pro-Brexit comedians in the United Kingdom, noting that other comedians should be wary of pointing out that people like him might be 'backward, nationalistic and patriotic and racist'. His new book is "The Sacred Art of Joking".

In this first episode of Season Two, Peter Whittle's guest is Peter Hitchens, the celebrated conservative columnist, writer and polemicist -- and one of our most commonly requested people: Subjects discussed include free expression, identity politics, immigration, education & social mobility, conservatism etc.. Sometimes styled "Britain's Obituarist", Hitchens best-known work is "The Abolition of Britain". As with Sir Roger Scruton, Hitchen is a social conservative who feels far closer to social democracy than the unfettered market . In this indepth discussion, Peter Hitchens explains how Britain has undergone a silent and radical revolution as transformative as history's most famous, where the buildings remain but little else is the same. Whilst many assume the roots of this revolution were planted in the 1960s, Mr. Hitchens traces the foundations back to the Bloomsbury Group & the First World War. Recalling his own time as a far left student in the 1960s, he reveals how, when they were at university, many of Britain's leading political and establishment figures of the last 30 years -- such as former PM Tony Blair -- identified openly as revolutionary Marxists or Trotskyists. --------------------

This week, Peter is joined by the comedian and social commentator, Konstantin Kisin. Konstantin made headlines last year after refusing to sign a "behavioural agreement" before a gig at a London university. He discusses with Peter how his families experiences in the Soviet Union helped shape his views on freedom and why he is fighting back against an increasingly politically correct elite.

Peter Whittle's guest this week is Simon Richards, Chief Executive of The Freedom Association - TFA (which he has belonged to since 1976) and co-founder of the Better Off Out campaign. In 2007 he introduced TFA's Free Spirits events, to put the freedom message to young people, and in 2008 set up university Freedom Societies. In 2014 he came up with The Freedom Festival, which proved so successful that it has now become an annual event. In his discussion with Peter, Simon stresses that the nation state holds more importance to the TFA than is perhaps the case with other notable libertarian organisations. Speaking about the state of Freedom today, he argues that whilst we have plenty of choice in so many areas of modern life, in reality, on the big Orwellian issues of real freedom to speak and to think, freedom is in fact being closed down by the left. To strengthen Britain's freedoms we must remember the proud defence of Freedom Britain has historically championed. Looking through the prism of WWII, Churchill's funeral and the Falklands War, Richards discusses the state of Britain in recent decades and how a nation's most celebrated characteristics can be easily lost and forgotten if not preserved for future generations.

Peter Whittle's guest this week is Ben Cobley, author of The Tribe: The Liberal-Left and the System of Diversity. He discusses with Peter who is behind identity politics, how it came to dominate our culture and how they maintain their influence over the narrative. About The Show So What You're Saying Is...

Peter's Whittle's guest this week is free speech campaigner and columnist Brendan O'Neill, editor of Spiked Online and a frequent commentator on Sky News's paper review etc. Starting out on the far left as a writer for Living Marxism, the journal of the Revolutionary Communist Party, Brendan O'Neill now classifies himself as an atheist libertarian. He is no longer as interested in traditional Left/Right political divisions believing, like many others, that these have been superseded by society's new divisions (in essence the platform for the culture wars). Dubbed "The Most Hated Man on UK campuses" by The Tab, He has taken his campaign against censorship and the "no platforming" of speakers to university campuses, attacking the authoritarian, close-minded attitude of the (generally privileged middle class) "woke" students & staff who prefer to shut down debate rather than attempt to rebut challenging views.

A personal and candid conversation with Britain's most provocative historian in which he speaks about his early life, influences and career, and the journey that brought him to our screens. Calling the Henry VIII's break with Rome the "other Brexit", Starkey compare and contrasts Theresa May's negotiations with the EU and Henry VIII's negotiations with the Pope. His verdict is not one the P.M. would wish to hear. Moving on to English identity, we learn why the Tudors dominate England's cultural landscape -- particularly Henry VIII and Elizabeth I -- and why the British Empire is unique in having transformed its colonies/dominions into self-governing, sovereign nations. From landmark documentary series to political panel shows, David Starkey, once dubbed "the Rudest Man in Britain", never fails to make compelling television. Here, however, is an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of an important contributor to contemporary cultural discourse. .

This week, Peter is joined by Academy of Ideas director, Claire Fox to discuss Lexit, identity politics and how her friends and family reacted to the news of her decision to stand as a candidate for the Brexit Party this week.

Familiar to many from her appearances on Question Time, Newsnight etc., this week's guest is celebrated novelist & journalist Lionel Shriver, author of the award-winning novel "We Need to Talk About Kevin" (adapted into a 2011 film of the same name). A passionate Brexiteer and democrat, Shriver laments how the entrenched Remain establishment have seemingly used every means at their disposal to frustrate and hinder Brexit. She points out how the language surrounding Brexit has been captured and manipulated in the process of undermining Brexit. How suddenly after the Referendum the concept of "Soft" and "Hard" Brexit emerged out of nowhere -- concepts which had never been part of the debate. Similarly, we suddenly saw the heavily biased and loaded notion of "crashng out" on No Deal become part of common parlance. This term was immediately embraced by the media despite reputable figures such as a former Governor of the Bank of England, fomer head of the CBI, former head of the British Chamber of Commerce and former Chancellor of the Exchequer all supporting a managed no deal exit. She explains the hysteria of the most vocal Remainers, their contempt for Leave voters and how they misportray Brexiteers as angry, ignorant extremists seeking a return to the days of Empire and Imperial glory.
