My guest today is Ed West, journalist, author, and the writer of 'The Wrong Side is History' Substack.
We spoke about Ed's most popular Substack post to date, 'Why Children of Men is really happening', the political and economic problems Britain is currently experiencing, and the likelihood of British professionals emigrating en masse to places like America and Australia.
In the extended part of the episode, we spoke about whether there is something unique to the Anglo personality that has shaped British history.
