- Jason Arday; symptom not cause of Cambridge's crisis
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode I show how Jason Arday is the most boring aspect of the tumult surrounding his appointment at Cambridge University.
The real villain is an intransigent modernist ideology that demands blind obedience and therefore destroys the very framework of adversarial thinking that enabled historic academia to flourish.
Cambridge University must return to its historic philosophy or be destroyed; a process that will require sacrificial levels of honesty, repentance and open mindedness.
Does Cambridge have the humility and intellectual ability to learn from its obvious mistakes? Or will it arrogantly double down on the unthinking ideology that now directs our metropolitan elites at terrible cost to itself?

Send us Fan Mail
In this episode I explore what is meant when people state that Andy Burnham is a Catholic. What do we make of the fact he publicly supports euthanasia and abortion even as people label him a member of Christ's Church? Is his baptism enough to grant inclusion? Is his undoubtedly Catholic background sufficient to make him one of our own? Does his public stance prohibit the label of Catholic now being applied to him?
