In Episode 76 of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell speaks to Michael Rainsborough, Daily Sceptic contributor and Professor of Strategic Theory and Director of the Centre for Future Defence and National Security at Deakin University, Victoria, about British state corruption. Michael explains how our frequent public inquiries, in hock to misguided liberal proceduralism, hold no one to account for state failure. Instead, he argues the current national grooming gangs inquiry should follow the model of Hong Kong’s highly successful Independent Commission Against Corruption.
And for our premium subscribers, Laurie speaks to Ben Pile, journalist and Daily Sceptic regular, on the BBC’s activist ‘climate editor’ Justin Rowlatt and his brass neck U-turn on the cost of Net Zero.
