  • Could be better

    It’s basically James English with a posh voice, both being extremely dense, can get good guests on, just the host is a bit cringeworthy

  • Some Fascinating Insights

    Andrew is an excellent host, showing respect to his guests by listening and conversing constructively. I enjoyed the episode with William Clouston, the leader of the SDP. His is a voice of common sense; it is a shame that the party remains invisible to swathes of the electorate.

  • Shaun Attwood interview

    Normally I enjoy Andrew Gold insightful interviews. However this week with Shaun Attwood fell way short of the mark. Atwood was allowed to speak nonsense for far too long, equating his own experiences in a US jail with the UK. I am quite sure Andrew M-W didn't get the shake down from the police that Attwood fantasized about.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

637. Is There A Link Between Autism & Extremism? - Prof. Ed Dutton
Q: What about the idea that some people embrace neurodivergence as a positive identity?
Neurodivergence can become a source of identity and status in some circles, turning traits into a badge of distinction. This can be intoxicating, especially when it feeds a narrative of exceptional genius, but it also risks excluding nuance and encouraging blanket judgments about groups or individuals based on what's perceived as “neurodivergent.”
637. Is There A Link Between Autism & Extremism? - Prof. Ed Dutton
Q: How do these traits influence how leaders get into power and stay there?
Leaders with these traits may be charmful and rule-breaking, attracting followers during crises, but risk losing balance without managerial oversight to keep them in check. The discussion uses Thatcher as a case study for charisma combined with insecurity and a need to prove themselves, which can both propel and eventually undermine leadership.
637. Is There A Link Between Autism & Extremism? - Prof. Ed Dutton
Q: What is the core link you're proposing between autism and political extremism?
The core idea is that certain autistic traits—like high systematizing, need for order, and reduced cognitive empathy—can foster original thinking and a willingness to challenge norms, which in environments of crisis or high uncertainty may lead individuals toward extreme positions or leadership roles. This isn't universal, but it helps explain patterns seen in some movers and shakers on both ends of the spectrum.
632. "The Leftist Who Makes Nigel Farage Look WOKE" - William Clouston
Q: How would you actually implement a more selective immigration system, in practical terms?
By adopting an 'immigration in the national interest' framework, applying evidence-based criteria, and reforming welfare and housing policies to ensure new arrivals don't disproportionately burden public services.
632. "The Leftist Who Makes Nigel Farage Look WOKE" - William Clouston
Q: I've been told that you are the leftist who makes Farage look woke. How do you respond to that?
I'm asked to defend a stance that blends traditional conservatism with a practical, evidence-based approach to policy, emphasizing national interests, controlled immigration, and a strong welfare-to-work ethos rather than ideological labels.
