Episode notes

Brian Gerrish from the UK Column team was delighted to be asked to speak to Common Knowledge Edinburgh in the Jig Room of The Granary pub in Leith, Edinburgh, on Sunday, 14 December 2025. Unable to attend in person, Brian was able to address the Common Knowledge Edinburgh Executive Committee and guests via Zoom link, with the support of Professor Diane Rasmussen and Mark Anderson from UK Column, and chaired by Professor Richard Ennos. Prompted by those present to fully engage in The Granary's hospitality, Brian was able to give his presentation and enjoy a glass of beer in the comfort of his home. Three key topics had been chosen for the presentation. These were:

The origins of UK Column
The state of the nation in 2025
The strident calls for war against Russia

In covering the origins of UK Column, Brian recounted the main details from his talk at the Hope Sussex Freedom Music Festival earlier in 2025.The central theme was the strong spiritual calling to travel, warn, and teach people about the destructive attacks facing individuals, families, communities, and society in the UK. This opening subject led to a wider discussion about the state of the nation today in which chaos and breakdown are apparent across all sectors of society: government, law and order, policing, NHS, education, defence, courts and constitution, family, and the relationship between men and women.In the final short segment on the calls for war, Brian discussed the power of fear in the population as a means for the UK state to control minds, curtail free speech, and impose controlling laws and legislation. He suggested that the malicious political use of fear for war was a more powerful agenda of control than the political agenda to foment actual war with Russia.
