New Culture Forum

This week, Peter is joined by the comedian and social commentator, Konstantin Kisin. Konstantin made headlines last year after refusing to sign a "behavioural agreement" before a gig at a London university. He discusses with Peter how his families experiences in the Soviet Union helped shape his views on freedom and why he is fighting back against an increasingly politically correct elite.

New Culture Forum Director, Peter Whittle, sits down with Turning Point UK's Dominique Samuels to discuss her thoughts on the current state of the conservative movement.

The New Culture Forum's publication "The Long March Through The Institutions: How the Left Won the Culture War & What To Do About It" may be downloaded free of charge from our website: http://newcultureforum.org.uk (Direct link: http://www.newcultureforum.org.uk/ass...). Hard copies may be purchased by making a £10 donation also via the website (further details please email: [email protected]) How does culture shape political power? Many Conservatives now fear that victory at the ballot box is not enough. Despite Boris Johnson’s triumph in the 2019 election, they sense that a larger cultural battle has been lost. Some accuse the left of mounting a secret, slow-motion takeover, inspired by the ideas of the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci – the ‘long march through the institutions’. The New Culture Forum's new book by Marc Sidwell uncovers the truth: a tangled history in which active subversion runs alongside unintended consequences and missed opportunities. Armed with a clearer understanding of the left’s long march, it also reveals new possibilities for fighting back. In this video, author Marc Sidwell reads from the above publication. --------------- 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.

Andrew Doyle, creator of "Titania McGrath" (a parody of a militant social justice warrior) and co-creator of "Jonathan Pie", returns to the "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI) sofa to discuss "Titania's" hilarious new book: "My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism" Doyle wrote the book as a parody of the many heavily-politicised woke childrens' books that are currently being published in an attempt to indoctrinate our children. To quote: "Aimed at activists from the age of six months to six years, Titania's book will help cultivate a new progressive generation. In a series of groundbreaking and poignant chapters, she will take you on a journey with some of the most inspiring individuals in history, such as Emmeline Pankhurst, Meghan Markle, Nelson Mandela, Hillary Clinton and Joseph Stalin." Whilst his book is humorous, Doyle wrote it to help expose a serious issue that extends far beyond childrens' books: namely, the flagrant indoctrination of children in the education system, where children are taught pseudo-history and controversial theories about gender, white privilege etc. Some are even told to ignore their parents' views where those views contradict classroom teaching. Such biased teaching, Doyle argues, is very likely illegal according to the 1996 Education Act. Yet our politicians remain silent on this issue.

"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... Tom joins us to explain the truth about the history of black people in Britain. --------------- 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.
