Greg Lukianoff - Uncovering Britain’s Free Speech Crisis...It's Worse Than You Know

Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on free speech, censorship, and the dangers of state overreach.


Lukianoff warns that Britain is sliding into authoritarianism with the Online Safety Act, the arrest of comedian Graham Linehan for “offensive tweets,” and thousands of citizens detained each year for speech crimes. He explains why Americans should be alarmed—not only because of cultural ties, but because UK and EU laws like the Digital Services Act now risk exporting censorship to the United States.


They discuss the chilling effect of “non-crime hate incidents,” the hypocrisy of politicians who ignore Islamist extremism while cracking down on online speech, and why Big Tech is tripping over itself to appease Brussels bureaucrats. Lukianoff contrasts this with the Trump administration’s free speech battles on university campuses, where anti-Semitism and harassment rationales are being used to justify speech codes.


They also dive into the deeper history—Lenin, Marx, communism, and why the West never reckoned with the crimes of socialism—leaving us vulnerable to a new wave of ideological totalitarianism.


All this—Britain’s speech crisis, EU overreach, Trump and the universities, and the global struggle to preserve freedom of expression in the 21st century…

Matt Goodwin - Is The EU Turning Far-right?

Matt Goodwin - Is The EU Turning Far-right?

In the wake of the populist victories across Europe in the EU parliamentary elections I sat down with Matt Goodwin for a closer look. How have European elites failed? Are these parties far-right or is this a smear? What does it mean for the future of the continent? And what is the truth about populism which, 8 years on from the populist year of 2016, is back and as big as ever.We take a closer look at Nigel Farage’s Reform Party in the UK, who at the time of recording were about to leapfrog the Conservative Party in at least one poll.What does this mean for America and the wider world?All this and much more.Matt Goodwin is an academic and author of the book National Populism.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Linktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: If you're liking the show and want to stay updated, don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel!

"The Elites Have Failed" - My Oxford Union Speech vs Nancy Pelosi

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi did not enjoy this speech.I was invited to debate her at the Oxford Union on Thursday 25th April 2024.The motion was "Populism Is a Threat To Democracy". She argued in favour of the motion. I took the opposition. It is not populism that is the threat. The real threat comes from the elites.I would like to thank the Oxford Union for the invitation. A great privilege. The other speeches from the evening, including Madame Pelosi's, can be watched on their Youtube channel here:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOAFgXcJkZ2yVv9zI8WxNka9PUwiQF8rx-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Linktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: If you're liking the show and want to stay updated, don't forget to subscribe.

Andrew Doyle - Cass Review: Gender Pseudoscience Exposed

Andrew Doyle has been one of the leading journalists in Britain covering the gender wars and trans issues. We sat down to discuss Hillary Cass' recently published Review of paediatric gender care in the UK. We cover the report itself, the context and the implications. How it's been covered in the media and whether or not it has vindicated the so-called "TERFs". Is the Cass Review a turning point in Trans issues, or just another warning that will be disparaged or ignored?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Linktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshallFOR Andrew Doyle :X: https://twitter.com/andrewdoyle_com------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE:If you're liking the show and want to stay updated, don't forget to subscribe!FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall Hosted on Acast.

Professor Robert Tombs is one of Britain's preeminent Historians, professor emeritus at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of St John's College.We sat down to discuss the attack on British history, and the threat it poses to national unity and cohesion.

Are we still a Christian nation?It turns out the deliberate undermining of our nation's history itself has a long history. We took a deep dive into Gladstone, The Church of England's virtue signalling, Robert's fightback with 'History Reclaimed', the latest edition of his book 'The English and Their History' and much more.

Stephen J Shaw - "Civilisations End!" The Childlessness Crisis

Half of women in Britain are childless at 30, half of those will never have a child. That is, according to the latest statistics. A similar story is told across the world.We are facing a crisis of existential proportions. Or so says demographer and filmmaker Stephen J Shaw.We took a deep dive into his film 'Birthgap', and looked at the unplanned childlessness trap catching women. What are the cultural, economic and philosophical reasons for this change? What can be done about it? Is it too late?Shaw's terrifying predictions beg another question - why is this being ignored by mainstream media?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Linktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshallFOR Stephen Shaw : X: https://twitter.com/stephenjshawBIRTHGAP FILM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6s8QlIGanA------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: If you're liking the show and want to stay updated, don't forget to subscribe!
