New Culture Forum
"Having the deeper discussions mainstream media won't provide."
Founded in 2006, the NCF is one of Britain's leading conservative think tanks. Our mission is to challenge the cultural orthodoxies dominant in our institutions, public life and wider culture.
So What You're Saying Is... (#SWYSI) is our weekly interview programme, NewSpeak is our weekly "in-house" discussion show, and CounterCulture is our panel discussion with experts and significant figures from the political, cultural and academic worlds.
Our goal is to provide what the MSM won't: a platform for leading voices & experts from politics, culture, academia etc. to engage in calm, constructive and enlightening discussions on the most critical issues of today.

Proud to be English? + Diane Abbot's Racism + Forget Illegal Migration, the Issue is LEGAL Migration
On this week's #NCFnewspeak, Peter Whittle is joined by NCF Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and former Migration Watch director Neil Anderson to discuss:
* Diane Abbott's anti-Semitic letter to the Observer. What does this say about the Left & racism?
* The Illegal Migration Bill. Does so much focus on illegal migration obscure the far bigger issue of LEGAL migration?
* St. George's Day -- with one commentator saying the English have nothing to celebrate as they "oppressed half the world", are you proud to be English?

Where's the Grooming Gangs Outrage? + Is A.I. a Threat? + Trump Indictment
On today's #NCFNewspeak, host & NCF Director @prwhittle is joined by NCF Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and special guest Alp Mehmet, chairman of Migration Watch. Topics discussed:
* The UK Government announces a range of policies to clamp down on grooming gangs, including recording their ethnicity. Can these policies be successful when the police, local councils and social services are petrified by political correctness? It has been over a decade since the scandal first captured the nation's attention, 20 years since it first began to be talked about and yet it continues. What needs to be done to get to grips with this ongoing national scandal?
* Artificial Intelligence is growing in leaps and bounds. Leading figures from Stephen Hawking to Elon Musk have warned of the dangers of A.I. Does it pose a genuine threat? Or will it lead to a giant leap forward for mankind?
* What's going on with the Trump indictment? How much of this is politically motivated? Will it hurt or benefit Trump in the long run?

I was Deplatformed for Retweeting Ricky Gervais. Free Speech Legislation Betrayed by Government.
Baroness (Claire) Fox returns to the New Culture Forum to discuss the perilous state of free speech in the UK. She discusses her recent deplatforming and Royal Holloway University, where she was disinvited by the debating society following pressure from the Student Union, who deemed her -- a member of the House of Lords -- to be a threat to student safety.
Baroness Fox also discusses new government legislation intended to protect campus free speech and how Government ministers in the Lords have betrayed the intent of the legislation by attempting to water it down.
