My Podcast of the Year 2025

Labour would find themselves more popular if they investigated Farage and Russia & then went after the PPE fraudsters. A few high profile trials would create a valuable distraction from our present troubles. People like Dido Harding , Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowboy need their collars felt.

I often disagree with his more extreme
posts which tend to be quite prolific.

I am always happy to defer to Dan Neidle on such matters.

There is a nostalgic world view distilled from old films, Christmas cards, prep school patriotism, and newsreels with rousing music. Many share this fading dream of ladybird book Olde England,prosperous, proud and imperial. Confronting such illusions with reality provokes dangerous emotions .

I feel like my team has been knocked out in the first round of a big tournament

Putin’s systematic & successful efforts to infiltrate and weaken the west with bribery, hybrid warfare, dark arts, corrupt influence and blackmail are part of a patient & ingenious strategy. There is evidence & a plausible narrative . The Epstein files will show how it was done.
