Jerm and Alex Thomson unpack the information war, cultural heritage, and the identity crisis Afrikaners face. They trace the pull of the City of London, fading faith in Amsterdam, and what it means to be Afrikaner as both culture and language.
The talk widens into foreign interference in Africa, global demographic shifts among white populations, and how diasporas hold together. Then it turns personal. Alex's background, rugby as a cultural touchstone, reflections on 9/11, and one big question: why is it so hard to question the mainstream story?

Caught between Debunkers and Believers: Len Duggan on Chemtrails | UK Column Interviews
► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1
What if the persistent trails across our skies are neither secret spraying nor ‘just contrails’? In this interview, Len Duggan, who has spent a decade researching the subject, sets out a case built on published science studies and refinery documentation.
Duggan argues that since around 1995, refineries have increasingly made jet fuel from heavy residue through coking and cracking processes, carrying more contaminants into the fuel. The result, he says, is exhaust full of tiny metallic, sulphur-coated particles that are highly hygroscopic, which lets trails form and persist at much lower humidity than before. In his view, chemtrails are not a separate phenomenon but enhanced contrails.
He also explains several images that circulate widely as evidence of spraying: ballast tanks used in flight testing, aerodynamic wing trails, fuel dumps, and survey aircraft on Flightradar24. He describes being blocked by prominent figures in the chemtrail movement for challenging their claims. Debunkers, he says, refuse to engage on particle hygroscopicity.
The conversation also covers geoengineering, cloud seeding and reduced sunlight. It closes on why simple flight-path changes that could cut trail formation have not been adopted, and what that might mean for the climate narrative.

Carl Zha is joined once again by Dr. Warwick Powell to examine the rapidly changing geopolitical and economic landscape surrounding the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, China, Europe and the United States.
At the center of the discussion is a crucial question: Is Washington losing its ability to control events across multiple theaters at once?
Dr. Powell argues that the continuing pressure on fuel and diesel prices exposes a growing gap between political narratives and economic reality. Despite claims that energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz have returned to normal, oil markets, depleted strategic reserves and continued attacks suggest that the crisis may be far from over.
The conversation then moves to the broader consequences for American power.
After decades of military commitments, the United States is now simultaneously dealing with pressures in West Asia and Ukraine, while still attempting to contain China in East Asia. Has America's military and industrial capacity become overstretched?
And what does this mean for China?
Rather than exploiting American weakness through direct confrontation, China appears to be pursuing a very different strategy: maintaining stability at home, strengthening its energy security, expanding economic and infrastructure relationships with the Global South, and promoting alternative systems of development, security, civilization and global governance.
The discussion also examines China's decision to restrict refined petroleum exports and what that could mean for Southeast Asia if the energy crisis becomes prolonged.
Finally, Carl and Dr. Powell turn to Europe's growing trade confrontation with China. Why is Brussels seemingly copying Washington's failed economic playbook? Is the so-called "China shock" being used to blame China for Europe's deindustrialization rather than confronting Europe's own policy failures?
And as Chinese EVs and other high-tech industries challenge traditional European manufacturers, who ultimately pays the price for protectionism?

Professor Norman Fenton speaks with Professor Diane Rasmussen about his new book, The Capture of Academia: How Universities Shape Power, Silence Dissent, and Influence Society. Sharing common ground as former senior academics who lost their university careers for opposing popular stances, they speak about the hidden corruption that drives today’s British universities.
Professor Fenton is Emeritus Professor of Risk at Queen Mary University of London and founder of Agenda Ltd, a company that specialises in Bayesian network tools for risk modelling and decision support. He has previously been interviewed on UK Column to discuss skewed Covid vaccine data (2022) and, later, to explain how questioning the official Covid narrative effectively ended his academic career (2023).
In this 2026 interview, Professor Fenton says he went “from respected professor to academic pariah” for his unpopular views. He speaks about the requirement for university staff to follow the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) cultural Marxist agenda that pervades today’s UK university system. One example can be found in the University of Cambridge’s Behavioural Attributes Framework, which requires all staff to adhere to “the principles of diversity and inclusion”. He believes this mandate helps explain why Jason Arday received his professorial appointment at Cambridge. Professor Fenton explains how these DEI mandates provide preferential treatment to groups with certain characteristics while it excludes others, and how they deny diversity of thought.
He also discusses the Research Excellence Framework (REF), a bureaucratic, expensive, and corrupt process that claims to assess “the quality of research in UK higher education institutions”. In the next REF exercise (2029), 30% of “research quality” will be evaluated based on the incorporation of DEI principles into the research. This corruption extends into scientific peer review; only grant proposals and papers that support agendas such as Net Zero and Agenda 2030 tend to be reviewed favourably.
Professor Fenton can be found on X, on YouTube, and via his website. He runs a popular Substack, ‘Where Are the Numbers?’, with Professor Martin Neil. Professors Fenton and Neil also co-authored the groundbreaking book Fighting Goliath: Exposing the Flawed Science and Statistics behind the COVID-19 Event.

In this episode, Brian Gerrish and Charles Malet take up where they left off in Episode 10; with consideration of the question ‘What is this war designed to do?’ This means dealing with the changing nature of warfare and, in particular, the corporate influence exerting itself at every stage. Alongside this, there is commentary on the way in which Russia and its inhabitants have been dehumanised by Western governments and their tame media.
As the discussion progresses, the subject of Britain’s ‘warfighting readiness’ comes up. Are the hollowed-out armed forces of the country in any position to be entering into a kinetic conflict with anyone, let alone the battle-hardened Russians? Or, is ‘support’ for Ukraine designed to do something else altogether?
