"Academic Agent": Power Lies with Organised Minorities NOT Majorities, who are disorganised

"The organised 100 will always defeat the disorganised 1,000". "Just as fire drives out fire, so an elite is only ever driven out by another elite." So says Dr. Neema Parvini (aka "Academic Agent"), author of "The Populist Delusion" and, most recently, "The Prophets of Doom". A Senior Lecturer at the University of Surrey, Dr. Parvini is this week's guest on Deprogrammed, hosted by Harrison Pitt & Evan Riggs. "The 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump unleashed a wave of populism not seen in America since the Nixon era, which carried him into the presidency. Seen widely as a vindication of the people over elites, his failure to bring about any meaningful change was then seen as an aberration, a departure from a natural state where the people are sovereign and their representatives govern by their consent. This is the populist delusion. In his book, Parvini sets out to prove that the interests of the people have only ever been advanced by a tightly organized minority. Order The Populist Delusion here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Populist-Del... Order The Prophets of Doom here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prophets-Doo... The Prophets of Doom blurb: Linear and progressive views of history have dominated the popular imagination for the past seventy years in a worldview wedded to the inexorable rise of globalisation and GDP-growth at any cost. However, the end of the Cold War failed to produce the end of history as hoped, a fact brought home to many by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Material wealth and 'Progress’ in the name of ‘social justice’ have not made people happier or more united but quite the opposite. Anxiety, depression, fearfulness, sadness, loneliness and anger have all massively increased since 1970 with the male suicide rate at an all-time high. Western society seems to be divided against itself across every line conceivable: left versus right, women versus men, ‘non-whites’ versus ‘whites’, globalists versus populists, ‘the elites’ versus ‘the people’, people who think that men can be women and vice versa versus those who insist that they cannot, and so on. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe their country is on ‘the wrong track’, with similar views reflected in Britain and across Europe. The Prophets of Doom explores eleven thinkers who not only dared to contradict the dominant linear and progressive view of history, but also predicted many of the political and social maladies through which we are living. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

Boris Johnson is a pro-Migration Liberal. Immigration & Inflation Will Revive British Populism

Nothing better epitomizes the gulf that now exists between the Conservative and Labour elite and their voters than immigration. So argues Prof. Matt Goodwin in this episode of Deprogrammed. He points out that the Conservative establishment have failed to understand that immigration is the second most important issue for Conservative voters, many of whom now find themselves politically homeless. The same applies to many Labour voters. Whilst there are smaller parties that have stronger immigration policies (Reform, Reclaim & SDP) these are not cutting through with the general public. As a result there is a huge gap in the market for a powerful new insurgent party to emerge - much as UKIP did. The Conservative Party meanwhile is failing to do the one thing that has ensured its survival through the centuries: re-invent itself. The current Conservative Party is not a serious party, Prof. Goodwin contends. It has no intellectual gravitas, its leaders and low-grade MPs are a pale imitation of the giants that once dominated the party and it is simply too out of touch with the needs and demands of its voter base. --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

Criticising Mohammed or Islam is NOT Islamophobia - but Labour Wants to BAN ALL Criticism

Our guest on this week's Whittle is Tim Dieppe, Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern and author of an upcoming publication on free speech & Islamophobia. Tim & Peter discuss "Islamophobia Revisited" (https://www.civitas.org.uk/publicatio... ), a new report by Civitas' Hardeep Singh. Tim reveals the disturbing ways in which criticism of Islam is being silenced. All Parliamentary political parties except for the Conservative Party have adopted a broad and "problematic" definition of Islamophobia which links it with racism and makes any legitimate criticism of the religion "Islamophobic". In Islamophobia Revisited, Hardeep Singh conducts a thorough investigation into how Islamophobia is defined by local authorities describing a ‘panoply’ of different approaches and definitions. In response to a large-scale Freedom of Information exercise, Singh discovers that one in seven (15.6 per cent) local authorities in England have adopted a definition of ‘Islamophobia’ described by the government as ‘not fit for purpose’. Singh finds 22.7 per cent of Welsh local authorities and 25 per cent of Scottish local authorities have adopted this disputed definition. The adoption of a disputed definition of Islamophobia has ‘taken on a life of its own’ according to Singh, who raises concerns over conflating race with religion and claims that ‘Islamophobia is a type of racism.’ Singh raises concerns over an officially recognised definition of Islamophobia, something he says ‘conflates race with religion’ across local authorities. Singh provides compelling evidence that not enough due diligence or scrutiny has been conducted by local authorities over their approach to defining Islamophobia as a form of racism, with concerns over free speech ‘largely dismissed.’ Singh claims the adoption of a disputed definition of Islamophobia prevents ‘an honest conversation about public policies relating to faith or religion, or basic historical truths’, and recommends that local councils do more to protect free speech and avoid critics of religion or religious practice being described as ‘racist’ and potential prosecution under hate speech laws.

Lampedusa Migrant Crisis + Britain's Black History Myths + Russell Brand: Can Both Sides Be Right?

On today's #NCFNewspeak, NCF Director Peter Whittle, Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and special guest Neil Anderson, former director of Migration Watch discuss: * The Russell Brand: innocent until proven guilty. It may be possible that both sides are right - but we don't know and neither side should presume to know the truth. (this episode was recorded before we learnt about Caroline Dinenage MP's letter to various media outlets) * Bogus black history taught to our children in books and via the BBC's "Horrible Histories" * The sudden arrival of 18,000 migrants on the island of Lampedusa (regular pop. 6,000) --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

Britain's Black History Hoax (e.g. Stonehenge was NOT Built by Black People)

"Brilliant Black British History" is the name of a new children's book which claims, amongst other things, that Stonehenge was built by black people and that Britain was a black country for a lot longer than it was white. This book is the latest in a long series of print and online publications to claim that black people have been a notable presence in Britain for a lot longer than the traditionally accepted mid-20th century. On today's Deprogrammed, hosts Harrison Pitt, a senior editor at the European Conservative, and Evan Riggs, freelance writer, are joined by Tom Rowsell, historian, filmmaker and youtuber at Survive the Jive: https://youtube.com/@Survivethejive Tom recently debunked a BBC children's "Horrible Histories" music video which claimed black people had played a leading role in Britain since Roman times. You may view Tom's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=904xN...

We Tories Got it WRONG. We must Support Marriage, Community & Nation to Regain Trust-Danny Kruger MP

Can the Conservative Party escape its existential crisis? On this week's #NCFWhittle we are joined by one of parliament's leading political thinkers, traditionalist conservative Danny Kruger MP, Conservative Member of Parliament for Devizes and sometime political secretary to then Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Mr. Kruger's new book is "Covenant: The New Politics of Home, Neighbourhood and Nation", in which he offers a thoughtful and rounded call for a conservatism that values family and community over self-interest and social atomisation: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Covenant-Pol... Kruger tells us that contemporary conservatism can easily be seen as a hollowed-out creed. Combining heartless free-market individualism with an unthinking social liberalism - or else simple authoritarian populism - it offers little to those whose sense of meaning is securely rooted in their families, communities and country. Kruger argues that we must restore the sources of virtue and belonging that underpin the good life by repairing the covenantal relationships of love and partnership that underpin our families, local communities and ultimately our country. We must, he contends, go beyond a politics based purely on individual autonomy, social atomisation and self-worship. By examining the most fundamental questions of love, sex, life and death, ranging from marriage to assisted dying, Kruger charts a course towards a conservatism that can respond humanely and wisely to the social, environmental and economic crises that face us. This riposte to both liberal orthodoxy and the authoritarian right is unmissable for anyone interested in British politics. It's a key contribution to the debate on how the Conservative Party can respond to its current crisis.

Our Parasitic New Elite Despises the Working Class. Culture Wars & The Decline of the West.

On today's #NCFWhittle we are joined once again by Professor Doug Stokes, Professor of International Relations at the University of Exeter, and author of the new book "Against Decolonisation: Campus Culture Wars & The Decline of the West". Following the killing of George Floyd in 2020, a moral panic gripped the US and UK. To atone for an alleged history of racism, statues were torn down and symbols of national identity attacked. Across universities, fringe theories became the new orthodoxy, with a cadre of activists backed by university technocrats adopting a binary worldview of moral certainty, sin and deconstructive redemption through Western self-erasure. In his hard-hitting book, Prof. Stokes surveys these developments for the first time. He unpacks and challenges the theories and arguments deployed by ‘decolonisers’ in a university system now characterised by garbled leadership and illiberal groupthink. The desire to question the West’s sense of itself, deconstruct its narratives and overthrow its institutional order is an impulse that, ironically, was underpinned by a more confident and assured Western hegemony, which is now waning and under great strain. If its light continues to dim, who or what will carry the torch for human freedom and progress?
