  • A breath of fresh air

    Can I also recommend the fantastic article ‘The Gaza flotilla: the Woke Man’s Burden’ by Brendan. It sums up the destructive, hypocritical and skewed views of Israelphobes.

  • Bit too sandy

    Brendan is articulate and thoughtful, but the range of guests feels narrow and the content gets very samey and repetitive. The recent Lionel Shriver ep was a case in point - nothing new or incisive to say, and it felt like treading water. Having a wider range of guests and even some Brendan might not wholly agree with would freshen things up.

  • Excellent frank interview with Graham Linehan

    Just heartbreaking that he feels totally rejected by the UK & let down by once great institutions like the BBC. There are so, so many of us who love & respect you Graham. And you Brendan.

  • Kowtows to the expert class

    I’m about to unsubscribe to this fair to middling podcast since Brendan has these establishment experts on to say how diplomacy is done despite having little understanding of realpolitik.

    It’s because Trump brings in from outside the officious ruling class that he is so massively popular, despite his many shortcomings. Too bad the “experts “ are too thick or arrogant to see that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Graham Linehan: I won’t be silenced
Q: Has your blood pressure gone down? I'm very curious to know that. What was that like, that experience?
Linehan describes feeling enraged during the police confrontation and highlights the absurdity of his tweets being criminalized.
Jake Wallis Simons: How the West betrayed itself
Q: What role does censorship, authoritarianism play here?
It restricts open discussion about issues, further entrenching problems by coddling extremist ideologies and suppressing dissent.
Jake Wallis Simons: How the West betrayed itself
Q: When you talk about how the seeds of this were sown, when that slogan Never Again first came into existence, what were the elites saying Never Again to?
They were saying Never Again to genocide, but their interpretation also led to an excessive tolerance for anti-Semitism and a downplaying of national pride.
Jake Wallis Simons: How the West betrayed itself
Q: Did you ever think, even as you were editing the Jewish Chronicle and keeping an eye on what was happening with Jews in Europe, did you ever think it would come to this, that you'd have to write a book called Never Again?
No, I couldn't have predicted the aftermath of October 7th, the celebration of violence against Jews, and the resurgence of anti-Semitism.
David Starkey: We are ruled by lies
Q: How do you explain the interweaving of the existence of these kinds of gatherings of men in certain parts of the country and the unwillingness to have an open discussion about this problem?
Starkey explains that introducing clan structures into a high trust, individualized society leads to exploitation of the majority group by in-group dynamics, facilitated by political negligence.
