In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Cambridge historian Professor Robert Tombs to discuss the rewriting of British history, the rise of woke ideology in our schools and universities, and whether Britain is losing its national identity. We explore how institutions like Cambridge University, the National Trust and Britain's leading museums have embraced decolonisation, why the British Empire is increasingly portrayed as a force for evil, and the growing influence of left-wing ideology on education. Robert challenges the prevailing narratives surrounding slavery, colonialism and Winston Churchill, including controversial claims about his responsibility for the Bengal famine. We also discuss the Crusades, the Holocaust, mass immigration and the difficulties of teaching a shared national history in an increasingly divided society. Finally, we confront perhaps the most important question of all: what does it mean to be British, and can a country survive without a common identity?

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with bestselling historian James Holland to explore how the Second World War transformed the global order and whether the world built in 1945 is now falling apart. We discuss the rise and fall of the British Empire, the competing visions of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Churchill’s wartime leadership and the creation of the rules-based international order. We also debate the legacy of American power, the failures of modern political leadership, the decline of Britain and whether the West is abandoning the very principles that made it prosperous. As the post-war settlement comes under increasing strain, I ask James whether the world is heading towards a new era of global instability.

01:58:27 Was the British Empire Really Evil?

France is burning. Hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets, cars have been set ablaze, historic buildings attacked, businesses looted, and thousands arrested as violent unrest spreads across Europe. But what is really driving this chaos? In this monologue, I examine the extraordinary scenes unfolding in France, the role of mass immigration, Islam, radical left-wing ideology, and why decades of political decisions may have brought Western Europe to a dangerous breaking point. 

From Emmanuel Macron's vision of French identity to the legacy of Marxism, multiculturalism, decolonisation, and the education system, I explore how an entire generation has come to view its own country as the enemy. Drawing on conversations with Charles Gave and Katharine Birbalsingh, I investigate whether the unrest is simply the result of economic inequality and social frustration, or something far more profound. 

But the deeper I looked, the more I began to suspect that what we're witnessing isn't merely a French crisis. It's something much bigger, and the implications for Britain, America, and the future of Western civilisation are deeply disturbing.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with historian, author and House of Lords member Simon Heffer to revisit one of the most controversial figures in British political history: Enoch Powell. Was his infamous ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech a racist provocation, or a warning Britain failed to heed?

Simon, who knew Powell personally and wrote his official biography, reveals the extraordinary story behind the speech, why the political establishment turned against him and how the media shaped his legacy.

We debate mass immigration, integration, grooming gangs, two-tier policing, the Southport riots and whether Britain is now witnessing the social unrest Powell predicted nearly 60 years ago.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, who has been banned from the very platform he helped create. Larry reveals how a small group of powerful anonymous editors control one of the world's most influential sources of information, why he believes Wikipedia has become a mouthpiece for establishment ideology, and what happened when he tried to introduce intellectual diversity.

We explore political bias, censorship, the influence of mainstream media, paid editing and whether intelligence agencies and foreign governments are manipulating Wikipedia. I also share my own experience of having my Wikipedia page weaponised against me. We discuss the alarming implications of Wikipedia's influence on ChatGPT and other AI models, Elon Musk's Grokipedia, and Larry's plans to challenge the platform

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with former Home Secretary and Reform UK politician Suella Braverman for an explosive conversation about Britain's immigration crisis, the failures of the Conservative Party, and the future of the country. Suella reveals what really happened behind closed doors in government, why she believes Rishi Sunak betrayed his promises to cut immigration, and whether France is deliberately facilitating illegal Channel crossings. We discuss Nigel Farage, Reform UK, the Rwanda scheme, deportations, and why Suella believes Britain is losing the battle against Islamism. We also clash over Islam, free speech, British citizenship, and whether the Islamic call to prayer should be banned from public spaces. Finally, we explore Christianity, the British Empire, education, and what it will take to restore Britain's national identity.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down in Paris with French political activist Thaïs d’Escufon to discuss censorship, mass immigration, and the growing unrest sweeping France. Thaïs shares the harrowing story of her alleged sexual assault and how speaking publicly about immigration and crime led to a criminal conviction, a fine, and the threat of imprisonment. 

We explore her involvement in the political movements, her views on ethnonationalism, the limits of free speech, and whether French identity can survive mass migration. Finally, we examine the violent school protests erupting across France and why Thaïs believes they are a warning to the rest of the West.
