I was delighted to join my good friend Winston Marshall of the Winston Marshall Show for an in-depth conversation on the dire state of Britain.
I really rate Winston not only because of his extensive knowledge of global affairs but because of how he turned an attempted cancellation into a serious quest to contribute to the global debate and pursue truth —no matter where this leads.
Like others, he uses new media —YouTube, Substack, etc—to circumvent legacy institutions and speak directly to millions of people, informing them about issues the ruling class would rather we avoid while helping set the stage for an alternative.
In our wide-ranging discussion, we talk about everything from the United Kingdom’s current Labour government and border crisis to the rise of Nigel Farage and Reform, as well as ongoing attempts to curtail free speech and free expression in Britain.

More than ANY other group of people responsible for what's happening to the UK is the UK MARXIST MEDIA; BBC top of the list of course. This has been the case for years and their top technique is LYING BY OMISSION. Oh, and 'Climate Change' is the scare story No 1 red herring, it's pure nonsense. Go to the coast this weekend and look for those scary 'rising sea levels', if you find them, you've got it bad.
Firstly, I want to say how much I admire your work. Your brave and truthful commentary on British politics, culture, and identity has been a much-needed breath of fresh air in the public 'ecosystem'. Your contributions have been instrumental in reframing debates that had long been dominated by the narrow orthodoxy you continue to illuminate.
That said, I hope you’ll forgive a small but sincere quibble from someone who agrees with you on so much. As a self-described defender of British culture and identity, I find it disconcerting when you adopt Americanised pronunciations, for example saying “Gen Zee” instead of “Gen Zed,” or “Lootenant” instead of “Leftenant.”
I know these may seem like trivial matters, but I would argue they are symbolic of something larger. Language and pronunciation are vital threads in our cultural fabric. When even our most vocal advocates for British identity lean into Americanisms, however unconsciously, it weakens the distinctiveness we are trying to preserve.
It may seem pedantic, but I believe it is important to be consistent. If we want to uphold Britishness in substance, we can't afford to overlook it in style.
With respect and continued support
