    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #148 · English, Not British? Juicy & Lucy on Identity, Law and the System

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I opened with one of those properly rambling midsummer editions of the show: heatwave moans, clouds, phones, football, self-censorship, old comedy, old music, and the general feeling that modern life is far too noisy and overcomplicated. Eric and I chewed over the week’s headlines, the way public discussion is policed by discomfort and fear, and why humour, blunt speech and a bit of old-fashioned English stubbornness still matter. We also wandered through nostalgia for simpler tech, cheap calls, basic Nokia handsets, and why so much of the modern world seems designed to irritate rather than serve people. In the second half, Juicy and Lucy joined me for a fascinating and at times jaw-dropping conversation sparked by Graham Moore’s appearance last week. They talked through how discovering the distinction between “English” and “British” reframed their whole outlook, and they shared their own bruising experiences with banks, mortgages, land registry problems and institutional stonewalling. From there we got into the English constitution, common law, language, identity, old buildings, modern ugliness, and the importance of rebuilding understanding from first principles — whether through memes, children’s books, or simply learning to say clearly who we are and what we stand on.Paul English Live: https://paulenglishlive.com/Food For Thought Radio (FFT Radio): https://fftradio.com/Radio Soapbox: https://radiosoapbox.com/Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABBI): https://www.ca-britishisles.com/From Admiral to Cabin Boy by Sir Barry Domvile: https://www.lulu.com/shop/sir-barry-domvile/from-admiral-to-cabin-boy/paperback/product-959ym4r.htmlNeil Oliver: https://www.neiloliver.com/English Constitution Society: https://www.englishconstitutionsociety.co.uk/English Constitution Party: https://englishconstitutionparty.com/Common Purpose: https://www.commonpurpose.org/homeFabian Society: https://fabians.org.uk/about-us/HM Land Registry: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/land-registry/aboutIntelligent Finance: https://www.if.com/legal.htmlHalifax: https://www.halifax.co.uk/Barclays: https://www.barclays.co.uk/Nokia 105 (HMD / Nokia phone line): https://www.hmd.com/en_int/press/nokia-105-releaseThe Bowler Hat Farmer: https://thebowlerhatfarmer.com/Food Finders Hub: https://foodfindershub.com/Rumble: https://corp.rumble.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/Telegram: https://telegram.org/EURO·FOLK·RADIO: https://eurofolkradio.com/radio/A Bug's Life: https://www.pixar.com/a-bugs-lifeCool Runnings: https://movies.disney.com/cool-runningsPlanes, Trains and Automobiles: https://www.paramountpictures.com/movies/planes-trains-and-automobilesUncle Buck: https://www.universalpicturesathome.com/movies/uncle-buck

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #147 · Who Are the British? From Constitutional Law to Cosmic Weirdness

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I ended up with one of those gloriously unpredictable live shows where the moving parts somehow made the whole thing more fun. In hour one I crossed streams with Graham Moore for a proper bit of “incestuous radio”, broadcasting into each other’s shows while we dug into identity, constitutional history, the meaning of “British”, and why words like England, Britain and British still matter. It was a lively, provocative conversation about law, language, sovereignty and the way political narratives get built and repeated until nobody stops to question them. In the second hour, Miles Johnston took us deep into crop circles, non-human intelligence, hidden bases, pocket dimensions and the wider question of reality itself, which certainly stretched the evening in a very different direction. Then Eli James joined me from the US for a looser closing conversation on America and Britain, media narratives, usury, folk culture, Thomas Massie, Rupert Lowe, Dan Bilzerian, old books worth revisiting, and why ordinary people are so often nothing like the caricatures pushed at them. In other words: constitutional law, cosmic weirdness and transatlantic truth talk, all in one night.The Full English Show (Graham Moore on Rumble): https://rumble.com/DaddyDragonChannelPaul English Live: https://paulenglishlive.com/Food For Thought Radio: https://www.fftradio.com/WBN324 Talk Radio: https://linktr.ee/wbn324Eric Von Essex (FFT host page): https://www.fftradio.com/djs/eric-von-essex/Bases Actual with Miles Johnston: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/bases-actual/Eli James on EURO·FOLK·RADIO: https://eurofolkradio.com/author/elijames/Chat With Kizzi: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/chat-with-kizzi/The Victoria Rixon Show: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/the-victoria-rixon-show/Thomas Massie (official congressional site): https://massie.house.gov/Rupert Lowe MP (official site): https://www.rupertlowe.co.uk/Dan Bilzerian for Congress: https://www.bilzerianforcongress.com/War Is a Racket by Smedley D.

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #146 · From Monster Mash to Mass Migration

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com I opened this week’s live show with the usual mix of chaos and comedy, including a wrong jingle, a heatwave moan, and a surprisingly gripping update on the mystery of my radio-shed internet woes. After a visit from Virgin Media, a new router, a replaced splitter and a dash to Currys, the gremlins appear to have been banished at last. From there we veered into social platforms, censorship, Telegram, Gab, BitChute, Treechat, and the creeping pressure of age-verification and control online, with Eric adding tales of DIY, electric bikes, SIM-powered internet and his usual perfectly improper mechanical wisdom. Later, Kizzi joined me for a gloriously free-ranging conversation that moved from music, bikes, maps, old family life and nostalgia into much heavier territory: migration, identity, tolerance, government overreach, scripture, race, history and who exactly gets to define culture, nationhood and belonging. We also talked about her Shine & Rise gathering in Bosham, Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein artwork, Monster Mash, independent music from John Fairhurst, and the broader question of how ordinary people push back locally when institutions seem rotten from top to bottom. In short: a very English evening of laughter, provocation, argument, memory, music and live-wire radio.Paul English Live: https://paulenglishlive.com/Food For Thought Radio: https://fftradio.com/Gab: https://gab.ai/BitChute: https://support.bitchute.com/what-is-bitchuteTreechat: https://treechat.ai/Shine & Rise Mini Festival: https://www.greendoor.uk.com/service-page/shine-rise-mini-festivalGreen Door Centre, Bosham: https://www.greendoor.uk.com/Bernie Wrightson: https://www.berniewrightson.com/Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein gallery: https://www.berniewrightson.com/galleries/frankenstein/John Fairhurst: https://johnfairhurst.com/Mog Fry: https://www.mogfry.co.uk/Spotify: https://newsroom.spotify.com/company-info/Monster Mash on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/2DSidTcc9WkEqpxntTQ6jm

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com In between the heatwave moaning, collapsing streams and general studio mayhem, Eric and I managed to cover a surprising amount of ground: British hot-weather absurdities, avocado-and-cocoa remedies, Marmite and coffee percolators, and the theatrical nonsense of modern political farewells. From there we drifted into a proper discussion about rights, entitlement, duty, free speech and the way language gets policed until people start censoring themselves before anyone else has to. In the third hour I was joined by Monica Schaefer, and we got into far weightier territory: the state of Canada, censorship law, political prisoners, manipulated tolerance, the war on clear moral judgement, and the wider cultural attack on family, nationhood and truth itself. We also talked about the corruption of institutions, the failure of the courts, and why so much of modern public life now feels like organised inversion. Messy technically, yes — but conversation-wise, one of the livelier and more wide-ranging shows we’ve had in a while.Paul English Live: https://paulenglishlive.com/Food For Thought Radio: https://fftradio.com/WBN324 Talk Radio: https://thecosm.wixsite.com/wbn324-talk-radioFree Speech Monika / Support Alfred Schaefer: https://freespeechmonika.com/support-alfred-schaefer/Restore Britain: https://www.restorebritain.org.uk/Bank of England: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/BBC Help: https://help.bbc.com/hc/en-us/articles/39094101623955-What-devices-are-supported-for-BBC-comTavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: https://tavistockandportman.nhs.uk/accessibility/Chatham House: https://www.chathamhouse.org/Talk: https://talk.tv/play/talkradio/catchup/20241206-21610Marc Andreessen at Andreessen Horowitz: https://a16z.com/understanding-one-of-the-most-misunderstood-concepts-of-innovation-disruption/Netscape Navigator (Britannica): https://www.britannica.com/technology/Netscape-NavigatorLetters and Papers from Prison by Dietrich Bonhoeffer: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Letters-and-Papers-from-Prison/Dietrich-Bonhoeffer/9781451650532The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind by Gustave Le Bon: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/445Marmite UK: https://www.marmite.co.uk/home.htmlALDI UK: https://www.aldi.co.uk/Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/eBay UK: https://www.ebay.co.uk/Oxfam GB: https://www.oxfam.org.uk/Rumble: https://corp.rumble.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/Telegram: https://telegram.org/

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #144 · Wi‑Fi 6/7 in Schools: What Parents Need to Know (with Andy from Wake TF Up)

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I opened episode 144 with a bit of housekeeping and humour, before welcoming Eric Von Essex and our guest Andy from Wake TF Up. We chatted about summer silliness, Scottish fans’ legendary thirst, and why our Thursday shows may now run two hours. Then we got serious: Andy laid out urgent concerns about Wi‑Fi 6/7 roll‑outs in UK schools, EMF exposure, and the increasing use of children’s biometrics. He explained his parent action pack of letters designed to force transparency and halt activations until proper safety evidence is produced. We also touched on censorship on X, the media’s selective hearing, and wider patterns of institutional capture affecting health, energy and education. In the second half, we compared lived experience with official narratives on public health, EMF, and energy policy, including the real‑world costs of wind power and the way insurance markets treat EMF risk. There was lively back‑and‑forth on personal mitigation (including nicotine anecdotes), the importance of lawful pushback, and why parents and grandparents must get proactive at school level. I closed with where to find Andy’s materials and an invitation to keep the conversation going in our community spaces.'World Health Organization (EMF Project)': https://www.who.int/health-topics/electromagnetic-fields'Lloyd’s of London': https://www.lloyds.com'UK Department for Education': https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education'NHS (National Health Service)': https://www.nhs.uk'Wi‑Fi Alliance: Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax)': https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-6'Wi‑Fi Alliance: Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be)': https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-7'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com'Rumble': https://rumble.com'X (formerly Twitter)': https://x.com

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #143 · Iain Clifford: How Money Is Really Made (and What We Can Do About It)

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com A lively, occasionally bumpy (blame the gremlins) first hour with finance whistle‑blower Iain Clifford set the tone as we unpacked his four‑decade journey from wealth management and a joint venture with Bank of Scotland/HBOS to blowing the lid on how modern banking really works. We dug into credit creation “ex nihilo”, why regulators so often serve the banks rather than the public, and how House Joint Resolution 192 (June 5, 1933), the Bills of Exchange Act 1882 and today’s DTCC/Cede & Co. plumbing shape the world most people never see. Iain outlined his Republic of Old Souls/ROS Media work and teased his new weekly FFT Radio programme, promising plain‑English breakdowns of signatures, “persons”, nominees and practical routes to lawfully redirect tax flows. Hour two switched gears with Eric in the studio: weather moans gave way to food systems, Dutch agri‑tech, Clarkson’s Farm and Rotterdam’s Floating Farm; plus a spirited riff on everyday bureaucracy versus local ingenuity. We closed on first principles: rebuild community, support farmers, grow food, and keep conversations like this wide open—here every Thursday night, and with Iain back at midday Fridays on FFT Radio from next week.'Food For Thought Radio' (FFT Radio): https://fftradio.com/'Paul English Live' (show hub): https://paulenglishlive.com/Iain Clifford – official site: https://iainclifford.com/ROS Media Platform (Republic of Old Souls): https://rosmediaplatform.com/Unity News Network (UNN): https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/Bank of England – Money creation in the modern economy (2014, Quarterly Bulletin): https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/quarterly-bulletin/2014/money-creation-in-the-modern-economy.pdfFederal Reserve Bank of Chicago – Modern Money Mechanics (booklet): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Modern_Money_Mechanics.pdfHouse Joint Resolution 192 (Gold Clause Resolution), June 5, 1933 – Statutes at Large: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-48/pdf/STATUTE-48-Pg113.pdfBills of Exchange Act 1882 (UK) – original text: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/45-46/61/enactedProfessor Richard Werner – official site and publications on bank credit creation: https://professorwerner.org/Werner (2014) – Can banks individually create money out of nothing?

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #142 · Eric, Kizzi and Roger

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com I level with you right up front: the first two hours are fine, but the final hour suffers from gremlins. We wrestle with a brand‑new studio setup, triage a mess of routing issues, and keep the show rolling regardless. Once we’re stable, Eric Von Essex drops in for our usual ramble: the week’s wobbly English weather, battle‑scarred classic cars, and why small technical wins feel huge. Hour two welcomes Kizzy (Karen Dodd), who charts her journey founding The Freedom Network in 2020, the ups and painful downs of local organising, and why she’s focusing her energy on community, intuition and practical uplift. We talk parallel media, music from independent creators, and her Shine & Rise mini‑gathering centred on frequency, intention and doing the work within—plus why laughing at the powers that be is sometimes the sanest response. We also range across policing, community self‑help, and who trains the trainers; the growth of local patrol models; and the importance of asking sharper questions without getting baited into stupidity. Along the way we compare notes on tools (Restream, StreamYard), platforms (Rumble/YouTube via Radio Soapbox), and projects like Food Finders Hub and FFT Radio’s expanding schedule. Hour three connects to Roger Sales in Ecuador—beautiful place, brutal latency—so we’ll bring him back soon for a proper, clean run. Thanks for bearing with the hiccups; once the lines stop crackling, it’s a lively night out at the virtual pub.'Paul English Live' (show hub): https://paulenglishlive.com'Food For Thought Radio' (station site): https://fftradio.com'Radio Soapbox' (live links hub): https://radiosoapbox.com'Food Finders Hub' (local food directory): https://foodfindershub.com'Restream' (multistreaming tool): https://restream.io'StreamYard' (browser studio): https://streamyard.com'A Stand in the Park' (about page): https://www.astandinthepark.org/about/'Shomrim London' (community safety patrol): https://www.shomrimlondon.org/'Patriotic Alternative' (official site): https://www.patrioticalternative.org.uk/'Chatham House' (Royal Institute of International Affairs): https://www.chathamhouse.org/'Bank of England' (official site): https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/'The Light Paper' (official site): https://thelightpaper.co.uk'My Dinner with André' (film page): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082783/

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #141 · With Eric Von Essex, Robin Hood and Monika Schaefer

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com A lively, good-humoured night in the shed turned into one of our most thought‑provoking shows yet. We kicked off with heatwaves, wigs, doors hanging on a single hinge and a barrage of dad jokes, before diving into the fast-moving world of AI: how to ask better questions, “steelmanning” opposing views, on‑device models, image understanding for medical second opinions, and why prompts are quickly becoming the ultimate skill. In hour two, Robin Hood joined us to outline his case that most modern courts act as tribunals trading on presumption, and to explain why jurisdiction, proper warrants and signed orders matter if you ever find yourself facing bailiffs or police powers. We then welcomed back Monica Schaefer, fresh from a spell of fiddle-playing and community dancing, for a serious segment on Canada’s MAID policy and a personal account of legacy‑media attacks on her late father’s medical work in the North. We examined how atrocity narratives gain traction, why verification matters (from Kamloops to hospital myths), and why reclaiming culture, community and clear thinking is every bit as important as critiquing the system.'Food For Thought Radio': https://fftradio.com'Paul English Live': https://paulenglishlive.com'Rumble': https://rumble.com'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com'Mark Andreessen (a16z bio)': https://a16z.com/author/mark-andreessen/'Netscape Navigator (overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator'The Joe Rogan Experience (Spotify)': https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk'Steelmanning (concept)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelmanning'Cognitive behavioural therapy (NHS)': https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/talking-therapies-medicine-treatments/talking-therapies-and-counselling/cognitive-behavioural-therapy-cbt/'Westworld (1973 film)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld_(1973_film)'Yul Brynner': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yul_Brynner'College of Policing (UK)': https://www.college.police.uk'Civil Procedure Rules (England & Wales)': https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil'Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/43/contents'Senior Courts Act 1981 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/54/contents'Fraud Act 2006 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/contents'Interpretation Act 1978 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1978/30/contents'Bill of Rights 1689 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMarSess2/1/2'Companies Act 2006 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/contents'Digital Economy Act 2017 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2017/30/contents'The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955 TV series)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood_(TV_series)'Medical Assistance in Dying (Canada)': https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assistance-dying.html'Kamloops Indian Residential School (background)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamloops_Indian_Residential_School'Free Speech Monica (Monica Schaefer)': https://freespeechmonica.com
