Michael Shellenberger and Christopher Barnard on why it's immoral and irresponsible for vested interests to terrifying our children over the end of the earth, why nuclear energy will solve most of our climate-based issues and how to sell capitalism as our saviour to the next generation. 

Michael Shellenberger is a Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment”; the winner of the 2008 Green Book Award from the Stevens Institute of Technology’s Centre for Science Writings and an invited expert reviewer of the next Assessment Report for the Invergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He’s also the author of the new book I have here: Apocalypse never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All.

Christopher Barnard is the Policy Director of the American Conservation Coalition and the founder of the British Conservation Alliance which is dedicated to empowering the next generation to engage with the principles of pro-market environmentalism and conservation.

The Free Speech Union launched in February this year and boy, oh boy, I think it’s safe to say that even back then it’s hard to imagine just how necessary the Union would become in the fightback against a daily deluge of censorship, police intervention and general madness.

Darren Grimes argues that with each passing day it becomes clear that it’s not just figures, like himself, on the conservative right, that are the victims of witch hunts and in need of a union to defend them, but increasingly figures on the Left too. What can be done? What can we do about biased big tech? About non-crime 'hate'? Darren and Toby discuss the issues.

In June 2020, barrister Sarah Phillimore noticed that an anonymous Twitter account was boasting that she now had a 'record for life' of  her 'hate' as her tweets on Twitter were now recorded by the police as 'hate incidents' under what was then the 'Hate Crimes Operational Guidance'.

According to this guidance, the police must record what anyone tells them about being a victim of 'hate' - you can even make a report on behalf of someone else that you think is victim! The police aren't allowed to question the motives or the rationality of the person reporting. 'Hate' is given a very wide definition, to include 'dislike' and 'unfriendliness'.

This is the stuff of a Stasi-like police state, with informants and a society that turns against each other, Sarah is asking you for your support to challenge the guidance on police reporting of 'non-crime hate incidents', check out her case on CrowdJustice.

Tom Hunt MP was told by Suffolk Constabulary it had “received five complaints” over comments he made about criminals – and that officers were under an obligation to record them.

According to the Telegraph, the police in England and Wales have investigated and recorded 120,000 ‘non-crime hate incidents’ in the past five years. That’s more than 65 people a day being interviewed for such heinous crimes like liking a tweet that offends the wokerati.

Once that’s on your record, it shows up on an enhanced DBS check, which means you might not be able to get a job as a teacher or a carer. The MP is now raising awareness, as is Darren Grimes, to try and seek reform of the reporting of these 'non-crimes' on the records of Brits up and down the country

Tom argues that for this to continue will have a "chilling effect" upon debate and speech. He also argues that, far from fearing Nigel Farage and Laurence Fox, the Conservative Party should collaborate with the pair on culture war issues.

Julia Hartley-Brewer is a journalist, broadcaster, after-dinner speaker and awards host, whose fantastically succesful talkRADIO Breakfast Show has proven how influential the airwaves and speech radio can be in shifting the dial and provoking debate – Julia's views on lockdown are no exception – listen to the interview to find out what made Julia change her mind as someone who originally backed the Government.

The pair also discuss Julia's vote for Sadiq Khan in 2016, why feminists need to reenter the battlefield against radical activists who seek to render the term woman meaningless, what the french commitment to enlightenment values says about them during a slew of barbaric terrorist attacks and why the UK should simply say no to those who wish to paint our nation as a racist backwater.

Dennis Prager is a radio show host, a New York Times best-selling author, a columnist, an orchestra conductor and, crucially for Darren Grimes' introduction to the man, Dennis is the founder of PragerU.

PragerU is the fantastically successful YouTube channel that has amassed billions of views and has had such an impact that not only did Darren launch Reasoned UK inspired by PragerU, but big tech seems absolutely desperate to shadow ban, restrict and outright censor its conservative content.

The pair discuss everything from the lack of a moral compass in the Left, how to solve the problem of big tech censoring conservative content, the God-shaped hole that is evidenced across the secular West, how we can stop the bravery deficit by remembering the courage of our ancestors and why there's no such thing as being 'totally safe'.

Chairman of the Brexit Party, which has made an application to the Electoral Commission to change its name to Reform UK, Richard Tice, speaks to Reasoned's Darren Grimes about the move.

Tice argues that Reform UK believe that Brexit wasn't the only reform our country needs, they've a long list, the first priority is to oppose the Government on lockdown, which the party argues is having a profound impact on businesses, livelihoods, the mental health of the nation and much else. Tice says Reform UK will argue for a pro-Britain recovery.

Laurence Fox chats with Reasoned's Darren Grimes about The Reclaim Party, his on-air scrap with Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, big tech censorship, saying no to activist education in our schools and workplaces, charity and forgiveness and how the Reclaim Party will aim to be at the forefront of the battle in standing up for reclaiming the UK's cultural inheritance against those who simply do not wish our nation well.

GOP expert Sarah Elliott, of Republicans Overseas UK, offers her take to Darren Grimes on why we ought to look beyond the polls at the Shy Trump voter after months of rioting wreaking havoc throughout the United States; what the UK-US relationship would look like under a Biden Presidency; big tech’s assault on anti-Biden press reporting and why she’s so passionate about the case for Donald J Trump.

Darren Grimes is joined by the former leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies MS, the Member for South Wales Central. Darren discusses with Andrew why he's opposed to what are the toughest coronavirus restrictions in Europe. The Labour-led Welsh government reckon this is a temporary 17-day “fire break” lockdown, Andrew isn't convinced.
