    All you need to know about this specimen is that he went into bat for child abusers Jimmy Saville and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. IMHO he is a vile misogynist and more.

  • Great overall, but Furedi needs to seek help for his “TDS”

    Were it not for the fact that I’ve enjoyed so many of your other programmes, I’d be very tempted to leave an unfavourable rating for subjecting your loyal audience to 45 minutes of Frank Furedi. The man is a crank who lets his own political preferences completely colour any “analysis.”

    There’s plenty of Trump hysteria to be found elsewhere. Do you really want to join that sorry bandwagon, Brendan? Please don’t go down that road. You’ve been an invaluable – and rare – source of level-headed, bal... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stephen J Shaw: The global population collapse has already begun
Q: Is migration a viable solution to the birth-rate crisis?
No; migration can be a short-term, palliative measure but creates new issues in home countries and may not sustainably offset aging populations in receiving countries.
Stephen J Shaw: The global population collapse has already begun
Q: How bad have things gotten with birth rates across major economies?
Shaw argues that the decline is global and persistent, with some countries moving well below replacement level and projections showing significant long-term social and economic consequences if trends continue.
Julie Bindel: Will Britain *ever* stop the grooming gangs?
Q: Do you think there will be a national inquiry, and how far will it go?
Bindel is skeptical about government record-keeping and urges a robust statutory inquiry that compels testimony and focuses on hotspots and firsthand victim accounts, rather than broad, inconclusive reports.
Julie Bindel: Will Britain *ever* stop the grooming gangs?
Q: What's your overview of how the grooming gang discussion is standing today?
Julie Bindel argues the issue remains urgent and ongoing, with state institutions failing victims, and she emphasizes the need for a statutory inquiry and a candid reckoning that acknowledges the scale and persistence of the problem.
The West’s war on ‘whiteness’, with Marie Kawthar Daouda
Q: How do you think that process plays out where you have a movement that poses as anti-racist but pushes an agenda that is hyper-racializing?
It presents a form of racism masquerading as anti-racism, which reinforces stereotypes and undermines progress by promoting a narrative that non-white communities are inherently less capable.
