    Spotlight On Corrupt Cities | UK Column Interviews

    Quiet-spoken Martin Brighton made contact with Brian Gerrish over twenty years ago. An email and telephone call led to a meeting where an exchange of information showed two cities, Sheffield and Plymouth, mired in corruption as a result of the secret networks of Common Purpose. When Martin's wife was intimidated by the city council, his investigations lifted the lid on millions in European funds that were used fraudulently within the wider Labour administration, which brought about a whitewash of the whole affair by the EU's anti-fraud office, OLAF. Martin experienced threats and intimidation which strengthened his resolve for justice. His research, which started with corruption, then unearthed the cover-up of child abuse. Ultimately, his investigatory efforts were to result in a South Yorkshire police raid on his home and the theft of substantial evidence which the police should investigate. ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠UK Column website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► [Support UK Column] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Telegram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ►⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram

    Jose Vega: Declare Independence | UK Column Interviews

    Jose Vega returns to UK Column after more than a year, ahead of the US midterms where he again challenges Ritchie Torres in the Bronx. This time his campaign took a two-pronged approach, to run in the Democratic primary and on the general election ballot. Once again he gathered more than 15,000 signatures to do it and took six percent in the June primary. The discussion covers the confrontational interventions for which Vega is known — AOC, Mike Pompeo, Kamala Harris and Hakeem Jeffries among his targets — and why he believes that kind of public challenge lends credibility money cannot buy. He explains his slogan, Declare Independence, as wider than to step away from political parties: it is a call to break out of the narrative that dictates what people think they are permitted to believe. He argues Congress should be replaced wholesale by 25 to 35 year olds, sets out his account of how AIPAC identifies and funds politicians early in their careers, and points to Section 219 of the NDAA, which would deepen US–Israeli military and intelligence integration, as the immediate test of whether ordinary people can force their representatives to act.

    How Liu Bang Outsmarted China's First Empire — The Fall of Qin Begins | Silk and Steel

    The Qin Dynasty conquered all of China—but it collapsed almost as quickly as it rose. In this episode of the Silk & Steel Chinese History Series, Carl Zha and JJ continue the dramatic story of the Chu–Han Contention following the decisive Battle of Julu (207 BC). Xiang Yu's stunning victory shattered Qin's elite frontier army and transformed the balance of power across China. But military victory alone would not decide who would ultimately rule. While Xiang Yu dominated the battlefield, another rebel leader—Liu Bang—quietly pursued a strategy that would undermine the Qin court from within and ultimately lay the foundation for the Han Dynasty, one of the greatest empires in Chinese history. This episode explores: The aftermath of the Battle of JuluWhy Qin's legendary military machine finally brokeThe political intrigue surrounding the Qin courtZhang Han's impossible strategic dilemmaThe mystery surrounding Crown Prince Fusu and General Meng TianWhy Xiang Yu's battlefield brilliance wasn't enoughHow Liu Bang began positioning himself to seize the Mandate of Heaven The fall of Qin was not merely the collapse of a dynasty—it marked the birth of imperial China as we know it. This episode reveals how strategy, politics, and leadership reshaped the course of Chinese civilization. ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠UK Column website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► [Support UK Column] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Telegram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ►⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Aftermath of the Battle of Julu 09:30 Why Qin's Elite Army Was Destroyed 20:15 The Crisis Inside the Qin Court 34:40 Zhang Han's Difficult Position 48:30 Liu Bang's Political Strategy 1:02:00 The Coming Collapse of Qin
