Episode 32 of the Sceptic: Douglas Carswell on How to Save Britain, Chris Morrison on Net Zero Nutters and Steven Tucker on the Children’s Capital of Culture: Rotherham

by Richard Eldred
21 March 2025 7:00 AM

Welcome to Episode 32 of the Sceptic! On the show this week, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following guests:

  • Douglas Carswell, MP for Clacton from 2010-2017, first for the Conservative Party and then for UKIP, and President and CEO of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy.
  • Chris Morrison, the Daily Sceptic’s Environment Editor, on how the global green agenda is falling apart – and why blowhards like Gavin Barwell are so enraged at the Daily Sceptic for leading the way.
  • And for our premium subscribers, Laurie is joined by Steven Tucker, journalist and author of books including Hitler and Stalin’s Misuse of Science, on the ghoulish decision to make Rotherham the 2025 ‘Children’s Capital of Culture’ – and what it says about our deranged cultural elites.

Good analysis from Carswell. Chris Morrison is always good. Stephen Tucker is right; whenever someone says that diversity is our strength, laugh and remind them of Rotherham, and other such places.

Mr Carswell mentioned that May was our worst pm in the past 30 years or so. But this all stems from Blair as he acknowledged. They are all bad, the Tories are absolutely dreadful and spent 14 years pretending that they would do things for the benefit of the electorate. They did nothing to harness non accountable bodies and in fact doubled down and made matters worse. It seems to me that the creation of these bodies really fits in with the EU in that none of them are accountable to the electorate, they achieve the same but through apparently different means. I suppose you could ask the question, “ what do you mean by unelected” expecting them to give an honest answer.
So in essence we are in the midst of a tyranny, the lessons were learnt in the past that tyrannical and violent means of control all end badly, the present tyranny survives because there is little physical violence, it’s been replaced with that which is much worse, psychological violence.
I hope to see these people face punishment for their crimes against the people in my lifetime!

That news was so jarring and scarcely believable that it took me aback, like “cognitive dissonance”.

I think Richard Eldred described the decision best as “Ghoulish”.
It really is ghoulish.

Progressive Mediocrity – an Oxymoron? Will AI Deliver us from Evil?
It would appear that some of our less conformist institutions are rebelling against the administrative leviathan conjured up by the state since Mrs T released her grip on a regressive socialist charter. The narrative is gaining traction and overcoming tangled obstacles that purport to convey some substance of objectivity, but fail with the first input of verifiable data that is inevitably dismissed without reason, as it doesn’t conform with the hugely popular, manipulated consensus. To suggest some sort of restoration in the hope a messiah will appear to trample over the socialist idealists and virtuous masochists, is fanciful, and even if one person was found, how would their legacy be continued by their heirs? We have endured the pathetic antics of a bureaucratic officialdom that seeks to lead by consensus, where decision making is passed down the line to more bureaucrats, so have to accept that there must be a constitution or statute, preventing outrageous prevarication and obfuscation, that only benefits the few at the top of the chain.
Is it beyond the capability of the few good people left to utilise the power of AI to recreate a Magna Carta, Justinian Code, or similar that destroys equivocation, stripping everything back to basics, so the rule of law reflects the scales of justice, being blind, deaf and impartial, delivering a balanced verdict that is indisputable? The legal profession, in collusion with corporate and public hierarchies, determines justice through the lens of ideological populism, that could be cured by creating absolute principles that must be adhered to in any dispute; decimating the lengthy and costly procedures, and restraining the ability of anyone including elected leaders, to pervert or corrupt, what would be enshrined in an immutable, encrypted statute, for all to see. If UK plc adopted such a system unilaterally, others would follow, possibly starting in a reconstituted Commonwealth. Surely this would be a very positive benefit of AI; and it must be admitted, the parlous state of our national economies, services, security, health etc.; would suggest drastic action.
K Badenoch may disparage N Farage; but until the conservative party shows it follows true values and a rule of law that is respected and, enforceable, it will fade into obscurity to be welcomed by the liberal dilettantes where power is a colonialist sin.

@Chris Morrison. Chris, you are doing important work, and a lot of us are interested and following and want to know and understand more. Your delivery could have so much more impact and gravitas if you dropped the “I forgets’ and ‘I thinks” because I’m sure you know the details and this distracts your data and research driven analysis.

I think that’s unfair to Chris Morrison, because it seems to me that talented people are often either excellent at writing (as he is), or excellent at speaking, but rarely at both. It’s usually either one or the other.

Writing is much easier, because you have plenty of time to look up details and facts to make sure you’ve got it right, and plenty of time to go back and make corrections and revisions to express yourself more clearly.

When you are speaking, especially in public or an interview, you don’t have that luxury, but have to hop to it, trawl your memory banks and give an answer on the spot. So it’s much more difficult to be a great orator like Nigel Farage, for example (to give credit where it is due, much as I distrust and dislike him now).

@Chris Morrison, Environment Editor:

I hope you will do a piece on this astonishing news featured at Breitbart today:

Half of Oil and Gas Demands Can Be Met At Home, Says UK Trade Group

“A leading trade association has urged the leftist government in London to open up more domestic oil and gas production, arguing that half of the UK’s demand could be met under “the right business conditions”.”
