In this technically inaugural episode of The Sit-down, I had the pleasure of sitting down with James Harvey; a 21 year-old political activist, journalist with Vox Populi & has also worked with Urban Scoop, and founder of Students Against Tyranny (SAT).

We discuss the origins of SAT and James' political activism & journalism, current & future projects, the state of the U.K. and how that has impacted the wider geopolitical landscape with war looking all the more likely, how educational establishments have completely fallen victim to the woke mind virus, the socialist system & demographic change of the U.K. and the effects it has had on a previously very high-trust society, as well as the importance of citizen journalism and young people in politics, and so much more.

Wales is in trouble, and has been for a long time. That much is obvious. Of greater importance, to every Welsh man and woman, is "How do we fix it?" and "How much time do we have?"Not a lot time-wise, I'll tell you that...Could it involve something as monumental as the abolition of the Welsh Assembly?I sat down with Paul Ashton to find out.Enjoy.Find more about Paul & the activities of Abolish on their website: https://www.abolishthewelshassembly.co.uk/If you'd like to be on the podcast to discuss anything brought up here, of if you feel you'd have anything you'd like to add to the wider discussion, simply send an email to enquiries@evidence-basedexcellence.co.uk

In this episode, I sit down with Mr Tim Davies of Fast Jet Performance (FJP). Mr Davies spent 20 years in the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force (RAF) combined, and since his departure from the RAF now runs his own online flight training school known as Shadowlands Online Flying Training School (SOFTS).

In this episode, we discuss Wokeism in the RAF / British Armed Forces - how, why, and the impact it has had - as well as the U.K. political landscape and recent revelations of what, in my purview, constitute no less than Crimes Against Humanity perpetrated against hundreds of thousands of young girls in Britain (and the associated cover-up), and the importance of having principles and strength of character, especially in the fight we have on our hands today.
