  • Meh

    Just listened to an episode where they stick it to the “sensible centrist” without realising that’s exactly what they are.

    Good starting point but pretty milktoast.

    Given 5 stars as they have a few vaguely right wing talking points and don’t want to hurt their score. Not willing to take on legal migration and stay on the safe ground of illegal but in 3 or 4 years they might be there but we need boomer whisperers as much as firebrands.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

‘The police have imbibed the activist worldview’ | Ex-officer Paul Birch
Q: What could the police change tomorrow to fix the issues in policing?
I would abolish the College of Policing which has become a home for activists and is counterproductive to effective policing.
‘The police have imbibed the activist worldview’ | Ex-officer Paul Birch
Q: Do you think that the idea of two-tier policing is a fair assessment?
Yes, it is a fair assessment, as the police has become an arm of an activist government, often prioritizing political correctness over traditional crime fighting.
‘The police have imbibed the activist worldview’ | Ex-officer Paul Birch
Q: What's going on in the police force that there is this increase in tendencies to arrest for speech related crimes?
There are several factors at play, one being that it's easier to investigate online crimes compared to traditional crimes due to the traceable nature of online accounts.
‘Trans activists are little Hitlers’ | Graham Linehan
Q: What advice would you give to a young person just starting their career or education amidst this environment?
Graham advises to keep safe, look for allies, be informed, and to assess each situation case-by-case when deciding whether to speak out.
‘Trans activists are little Hitlers’ | Graham Linehan
Q: Where do you think the conversation on trans is at this moment in the UK?
Graham suggests there are mixed feelings, with some believing they've turned a corner while others think the situation is still dire, indicating ongoing tensions.
