It sounds like voting is the only “pressure relief valve” we’ve got… until it stops working.
In this episode of Heretics, I’m joined by Paul Embery to talk about a country that feels increasingly unrecognisable — and why more people believe the establishment simply won’t listen.
We discuss:
- Whether Britain is in decline (and if it’s reversible)
- Why politics feels disconnected from ordinary people
- Institutions, “the blob”, and how change actually happens
- Immigration, social cohesion, and the new political realignment
- Free speech, policing speech, and where the line should be
- The teacher story: “Britain is a Christian country” — and what happened next
- National identity, cultural confidence, and what replaces Christianity
- Why people stop “asking nicely” — and what comes after
