On this lively Thursday 6 November edition of Paul English Live, Eric von Essex drops by for tea-fuelled banter, tech gremlins and all, before we dive into plans for an Alternative Remembrance on Monday 10 November (with a birdsong minute at 11:00) and a possible live hour at 11:00 on Tuesday 11 November. We wander from Earl Grey vs rooibos to bike lights and fireworks on Bonfire Night, then swing into heavier territory with Eli James on Venezuela, sabre‑rattling and the perennial distraction of war. I share thoughts from Liz Truss’s recent media turns, central‑bank power, the civil service machine and migration, plus a street‑level clip by Robin Pickett that has been resonating.

Hour two and three range widely: feminism and falling birth rates, dating culture, Windows vs Linux, the maddening over‑engineering of modern cars and a charming $5k African EV, silver and sodium battery talk, and a rent‑to‑buy partnership idea for housing that could help young families. We close on craftsmanship, model railways, York Minster and Letchworth’s garden‑city spirit—the slower, more beautiful England many of us still crave—sprinkled with bluegrass covers of Walking After Midnight and Sweet Child O’ Mine for good measure.
