Episode notes

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Bob of Speakers' Corner, one of Britain’s most recognisable street preachers and Christian debaters, for a provocative conversation about faith, free speech, and the future of Britain’s identity.

Bob recounts how a Muslim once tried to convert him to Islam, an encounter that instead led him to Christianity and set him on a mission to defend the faith at London’s Hyde Park, one of the last true bastions of free speech in the UK. He discusses the rise of Islamist intimidation at Speakers' Corner, from stabbings and arson attacks to police indifference and media silence, and why he believes Britain is now a post-free speech country.

We explore Bob’s vision of a Christian nation, his critique of liberal secularism, and his warning against both Islamism and ethno-nationalism, which he sees as twin dangers to the soul of Britain. He argues that only a return to Judeo-Christian values, the foundation of British law and morality, can rescue the country from cultural decay.
