In this lively edition of Paul English Live (Episode 116), I kick off with some seasonal banter, a macaroon, and the promise of big horsepower. Eric von Essex joins me for a rollicking tour through vintage engineering, land‑speed legends, and the allure of compressed‑air cars—plus a dramatic reading inspired by the Monty Python Big Red Book. We riff on forgotten innovations, media fear cycles, digital ID and facial recognition, and why genuine solutions so often get buried. Listener Paul calls in to unpack Paul Pantone’s GEET fuel reactor, sparking a wider chat about citizen ingenuity and bottom‑up organising. In hour two, publisher Jeff Roberts drops by to discuss historical inquiry, propaganda, and his team’s forthcoming work on The Holocaust Encyclopedia, leading to a broader conversation on free expression, labelling, and how power manages narratives—from Orwell, Brendan Bracken and the Fabian Society, to Churchill’s circle. We round out with a spirited defence of trial by jury, common law, and fully‑informed juries (contra Michael Portillo’s technocratic take), everyday over‑policing via policy, practical food resilience (including the humble chufa/tiger nut), and a couple of cracking tunes from Cooper Alan. Same time next week—bring your questions and your curiosity.

What a gloriously shambolic start to Episode 114—timers firing, music miscuing, and Shakespeare nearly breaking in—before we settled into a lively Thanksgiving-night broadcast on WBN. I recapped last week’s absence (no, I wasn’t abducted by Othello) and then welcomed Steven from Milkalicious, a Manchester-area dairy farmer thrust into the deep end by processor consolidation and contracts gone sour. Steven laid out the reality on British dairying in 2024–25: processors dictating terms, phones that don’t get answered, and a 40% price gap between supplier classes. His answer? Go direct. He’s now selling raw and soon pasteurised milk to the public, with butter, cheese and ice cream on the way—proof that a farmer‑to‑family “food revolution” is moving from talk to traction. We also covered vending plans, local delivery ideas, and why short, local supply chains beat fragile, centralised systems every time.

In hour two, the indefatigable Monica Schaefer joined to discuss free speech, writing to prisoners (including Alfred), and Canada’s raw‑milk prohibitions. We roamed from platform failures and mask mandates to Magna Carta, cultural decay, and why rebuilding health begins with real food, real farms and real community. If you care about sovereignty—of your plate, your purse, your speech, and your soul—this one’s for you.

On this week’s show I open with George Orwell (Eric Blair) as our touchstone and dive into mainstream media mendacity, with the BBC’s latest editing scandal as a case in point. We range across how propaganda works, the soft power of “nudges” in drama and entertainment, and the long arc from Bernays to today’s newsrooms. Eric Von Essex joins to swap war stories on the Corporation, Room 101, and the culture industry, and we reflect on how institutions get captured and why honest speech is so rare inside parties, newsrooms, and quangos.

We contrast the media machine with listeners’ lived reality: immigration, the erosion of trust, and the way labels like “racist” are weaponised to shut down debate. There’s a nod to Van Morrison’s protest songs, a brief dip into Enoch Powell’s warnings about political cowardice, and a look at the Mike Graham/Talk fallout as another sign of the times. We finish with a heads‑up for Nathan Lucius, Mark Devlin and Steve James’s December gathering on the esoteric roots of Christmas—Saturnalia, Sirius, mushrooms, Krampus and all—plus some cheer, gallows humour, and a reminder to keep calm, keep talking, and keep laughing at the would‑be censors.

In this Remembrance Day special, we slow down for two minutes of birdsong at 11:00 and reflect on war beyond the Hollywood versions: the trauma borne by veterans and families, the propaganda that sells conflict, and the way official narratives shape memory. From Hastings to Malta and the Burma Railway, from the East India Company to modern psy‑ops and media “nudges,” we question who benefits, who pays, and why uncomfortable records are still sealed. It’s an unhurried, breakfast‑time ramble: tea versus coffee, early starts, listeners checking in on Rumble and YouTube. Along the way we touch on Alec Penstone’s stark TV moment, the ethics of remembrance, the psychology of crowds and “leadership,” and how communities might quietly build resilience—being more like water—amid fifth‑generation warfare and information manipulation.

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.

Tonight I open with the great time-change muddle: the UK has already fallen back, the US catches up at the weekend, and our listeners across Rumble, YouTube and the rebroadcast networks are wondering if we’re early, late, or merely English. From shorts-in-October bravado to dark-evenings melancholy, Eric von Essex, Patrick and I warm up with weather, wordplay and horse‑racing tangents before settling into the real meat: how crowd psychology, comfort, and compliance shape public life. Socrates, clocks, and crowd management give way to a spirited exchange on policing, paperwork, and the rituals of modern bureaucracy.

In hour two we’re joined by Monica Schaefer for a frank, challenging conversation about feminism, family, and the engineered drift between the sexes: women’s and men’s complementary roles, why online culture and “sex‑ed” turn corrosive, and how to speak hard truths without stoking pointless gender hostility. We range from schools and SOGI policies to birth‑control history, demographics and the old-fashioned virtue of duty—pausing for films, music and a few well‑aimed barbs. Monica also shares an update on her brother Alfred’s imprisonment and points listeners to where cards and letters can be sent. Next week we’re back at 3:00 PM US Eastern when the clocks finally align.

A lively, unscripted night from Sussex to the Sistine Chapel. I kick off with grim British weather, grimmer Windows 11 nags, and Eric’s glorious £39.99 army trench coat, before we pirouette through Halloween mania, fasting, and even the pragmatic (if eyebrow‑raising) uses of urine therapy and turmeric‑coconut oil for teeth and toes. We chat fabrics, vintage trousers, and the price of fish and chips, then tumble into our favourite nostalgia rabbit hole: The Avengers, Diana Rigg, Patrick Macnee, Purdey and Department S. From there, we get serious: control systems, “nudge units,” media conditioning, and why building local resilience (think farmers and food drops) matters. I recount street‑level conversations with Reform UK volunteers, and why any real fix must confront banking, usury and captured institutions head‑on.

Author Nathan Lucius joins to unpack his book Fake Awake—on psy‑ops, cult dynamics and the pitfalls of the ‘truth scene’. We dig into how to seed ideas without preaching, fear as a catalyst (but not a destination), and the need to think from “above the board” instead of inside the echo chamber. We then examine religion, politics and money as ancient control grids, the Church vs. Scripture, William Tyndale’s courage, and why genuine assembly beats priestly gatekeeping. We close with a timely note on King Charles III praying publicly with Pope Leo XIV—an historic first in 500 years—before signing off to Iron Horse’s bluegrass spin on Enter Sandman. Buckle up: humour, history, heresy, and a few sacred cows all get a gentle prod this week.

In this wide-ranging episode, we begin with a lively riff on language and comedy (from Stanley Unwin’s “Unwinese” to Ronnie Barker’s wordplay), then wander into catapults, simple self‑defence, fires and log burners, and the beauty of Victorian engineering. We contrast creativity with bureaucracy through the lives of Sir Frank Whittle, Sir Stanley Hooker, and the Harrier jump jet, before leaping to Marlborough’s logistics at Blenheim and today’s need for practical community resilience. I also recount an hour-long seaside conversation with two Jehovah’s Witnesses that sparks a bigger discussion about covenants, translation, and why “testament” frames Scripture as a contract. In hours two and three, guest Eli James joins to examine faith, law, and language: the difference between being “born again” and “born from above,” the role of concordances, and the comfort and power of Psalm 27. We explore discernment, demoralisation by modern institutions, the nature of psychopathy, and why cultivating chivalry, craftsmanship, and clear speech matters. Along the way we touch on Patrick Moore, Joerg Sprave’s Slingshot Channel, Shroud of Turin research, and a couple of boogie‑woogie cuts—before closing with a call to think and live like practical engineers of the good in our own communities.
