    A Route Towards National Renewal | UK Column Interviews

    After joining the National Front at the age of 14, Griffin went on to serve as Chairman of the British National Party from 1999-2014. He ran as a parliamentary candidate for Barking and Dagenham in the 2010 general election, losing to Labour MP, and new head of OFCOM, Margaret Hodge. He also served as Member of the European Parliament for North West England, 2009-2014. Griffin is bullish but cautious about the recent surge of interest in British nationalism. His recent open letter to Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain, provides a sobering take on the electoral prospects of nationalist candidates and makes detailed suggestions on how efforts may be better directed for wider and more beneficial impact on the nationalist cause. (https://nickgriffin544956.substack.com/p/an-open-letter-to-rupert-lowe). In particular he is interested in the development of charities, businesses and parallel institutions designed to give British people ethnic consciousness, drive social cohesion and provide the economic, cultural and political structures required to rebuild British society. (https://nickgriffin544956.substack.com/p/what-is-to-be-done) In 2005, Griffin was put on trial for stirring up racial hatred after comments about Pakistani grooming gangs operating across the North of England. He was acquitted in 2006 after a jury accepted the defence that his comments related to a religion, Islam, rather than a race of people. Given the ongoing revelations of recent years regarding the existence and scale of the grooming gangs, as well as the complicity of the political establishment in covering them up, it seems clear Nick Griffin has been vindicated by history and should be applauded for his role as one of the first people to talk publicly about these extraordinary crimes. It was also fascinating, given his record of criticising Islam, to hear him talk about his regular contacts with Muslim leaders across the UK, and his belief that all nationalists (even ethno-nationalists) would be well advised to engage in diplomatic bridge-building and coordination against common enemies.

    The Latest Dark Crusade: Christian Zionism, the Israel Lobby, and the War on Iran

    Mike Robinson speaks with former senior professional staff member at the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and author of Dark Crusade, Cliff Kiracofe, about the deep roots of Christian Zionism and its increasingly visible grip on American foreign policy. Kiracofe traces the ideology back to its British origins in the 1820s (see Mike's earlier interview with Cliff for the background to this), when it was weaponised by Lord Palmerston to build public support for imperial Middle East policy. Two centuries on, he argues, the same playbook is running in Washington with Pete Hegseth, Paula White, Marco Rubio, and a network of Christian Zionist believers embedded at the heart of the Trump administration, alongside Jewish Zionist influence concentrated in the president's inner circle. The conversation turns to the war on Iran: Trump bypassed normal National Security Council processes to override the advice of the Joint Chiefs and the Director of National Intelligence. Kiracofe also addresses the more than 100 lawsuits filed by US military personnel who object to religious coercion in the ranks, the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center head Joe Kent, and long-term prospects for political change with cautious hope placed in the 2028 elections and the rising generation of anti-Zionist candidates across party lines. Cliff Kiracofe's updated edition of Dark Crusade: The Israel Lobby and Christian Zionism is available on Amazon, with a revised paperback due in May 2025. ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/ ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficial Follow #UKColumn on: ► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn ► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

    Iran is Decolonizing West Asia — And the US Empire is Crumbling in Real Time | Silk and Steel

    In this wide-ranging episode, Carl Zha joins Ali Mirza for a deep dive into the catastrophic Iran war that has exposed the hollow core of American military power and is reshaping the geopolitical landscape of West Asia and beyond. The headlines write themselves: • The US now begs for time – buying 10 days to avoid bombing Iran's energy grid after Iran threatened to destroy regional desalination plants • Market manipulation exposed: Over $500 million in suspicious bets placed just before Trump's market-moving tweets • Iran exports MORE oil now than before the war – 1.5 million barrels per day at $90 (double pre-war revenue) • The US has depleted one-third of its missile interceptors in just four weeks • China supplies Iran with missile precursors while it bans rare earth exports to the US • US allies realize they're on the bottom of the food chain – Israel is the only priority We break down: • Why Trump's "victory" declarations are just market manipulation tactics • The terrifying parallel to Vietnam: How 3,500 Marines became 500,000 troops • Why a ground invasion of Iran is logistically impossible (90 million people, unforgiving terrain, no coalition) • The fertilizer crisis: 20% of world's natural gas from Qatar is offline – planting season is NOW • The helium shortage: Taiwan's semiconductor industry is in trouble – the AI bubble is about to burst • Why Australia is days away from running out of jet fuel (32% came from China, which banned exports) • How US allies in Asia are waking up: South Korea's THAAD system stripped, the Philippines begging China for oil deals • The perception shift in America: Even MAGA turns on Trump over this war Plus: The USS Ford "laundry room fire," why China is the bedrock of stability, and why Iran is single-handedly decolonizing West Asia. ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/ ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficial Follow #UKColumn on: ► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn ► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
