Why They Believed Arday but Not Ray
This week, Colin tells a tale of two teachers, separated by 40 years but bound by one unavoidable question: why do those in power reward the story they want to believe over the truth?Jason Arday, the youngest Black professor ever appointed by Cambridge, staked his reputation on a Homeric struggle against adversity. That story has since unravelled in the most devastating fashion. Contrast this with
The Silent Crisis That Could End Britain
This week, Colin admits he is a “monomaniac”, revealing that his singular obsession is demography. He argues that falling birth rates in Britain are no longer an abstract concern but an existential threat. So why fewer children? Colin rejects articles of faith such as unaffordable housing and costly childcare, pointing instead to shifting values and culture. In the second half, he explores potenti
This Is the Inconvenient Truth About Terrorism
This week, Colin examines a string of terror attacks across Europe, from Nice a decade ago to last weekend’s atrocity in Berlin. He argues that the language used in the coverage of these atrocities is deliberately softened out of political correctness - when the reality is that Islamist and right-wing terrorism are not equivalent threats, as shown by starkly different casualty figures and MI5 case
The Reason Our MPs Got So Bad
This week, Colin reflects on the life and legacy of Ann Widdecombe to ask a larger question: why has the standard of Britain’s MPs collapsed? He argues that today’s political class is a pale imitation of that which came before it. From Labour’s “loveless” landslide in 2024 to the rise of grievance politics, Colin argues that Parliament is increasingly filled with unserious politicians who lack the
Is The Odyssey Backlash Justified?
This week, Colin asks where the line should be drawn between artistic licence and historical truth. Using Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey as a starting point, he argues that while fictional characters can be reimagined, altering the race of real historical figures risks distorting the past. From Cleopatra to the Battle of Hastings, he examines why some nations fiercely defend their historical reco
What Illegal Migrants Really Think of Britain
This week, Colin argues that illegal migration holds up an uncomfortable mirror to modern Britain. What if, instead of asking why migrants come here, we asked what they think of the country they encounter? Through a thought experiment, he imagines what an honest survey of illegal migrants would reveal about Britain’s culture, values and place in the world.Drawing on Britain's colonial past and the
Is Civil War Really Coming to Britain?
This week, Colin ponders a scenario once considered unthinkable in Britain: civil war. Drawing on the work of King's College London Professor Dr David Betz, alongside polling, recent unrest and his own reporting, he examines how a subject once dismissed as the preserve of cranks is steadily entering mainstream debate as the social fabric begins to unravel. Looking to countries including Japan, Leb
Is it Finally Time to Defund the BBC?
This week, Colin argues that the BBC has become less a public broadcaster than an instrument of state-sponsored activism, increasingly positioning itself as the arbiter of acceptable opinion rather than one voice among many.He traces Auntie’s evolution from John Reith’s mission to give audiences what they “ought to have” to today’s battles over bias, BBC Verify, and Labour’s proposals to promote “
Did Diversity Really Build Britain?
This week Colin argues that Windrush Day is part of a broader ideological project to instil the idea that diversity "built Britain".While acknowledging the contributions of the 802 West Indian men who disembarked from the Empire Windrush in 1948, he argues that politicians and institutions have exaggerated their historical significance, turning a complex story of post-war migration into a national
How disorder followed an attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast.
This week, Colin takes a 360-degree view of the unrest that has gripped Belfast after a Sudanese asylum seeker savagely attacked a local man.He urges listeners to condemn the violent response without ignoring the role that uncontrolled migration - and the mainstream media and progressive politicians’ failure to address it - has played in stoking community tensions in Northern Ireland.Set against t
The True Story Behind the Murder of Henry Nowak
This week, Colin examines how the killing of Henry Nowak has sparked a long overdue reckoning with issues of race, policing and justice in Britain. A system shaped by decades of anti-racism dogma has become unable or unwilling to spot racism when it falls outside the approved narrative, leaving police, politicians and the media trapped, unable to define what victimhood is in the 21st century. Trac
The Real Story of How Britain Abandoned its Borders
This week, Colin looks at the Channel crisis through the story of Dunkirk, where small boats once came to rescue British soldiers from the beaches of northern France. Today, 86 years on, different small boats are setting off in the opposite direction. This is a story of the failure of the state, of borders, national will, and a Britain that too often treats problems as inevitable.Colin invites you
In Defence of Brexit
This week, Colin Brazier reflects on Brexit, what it meant to him and to his late wife, a lifelong Eurosceptic who saw leaving the EU as a matter of democracy, sovereignty and political honesty, rather than slogans or campaign spin.As failing politicians, desperately short of ideas, try to restart the Brexit wars, Colin revisits the bitterness of the referendum years, when millions of Leave voters
