This week, Colin argues that illegal migration holds up an uncomfortable mirror to modern Britain. What if, instead of asking why migrants come here, we asked what they think of the country they encounter? Through a thought experiment, he imagines what an honest survey of illegal migrants would reveal about Britain’s culture, values and place in the world. Drawing on Britain's colonial past and th...

This week, Colin ponders a scenario once considered unthinkable in Britain: civil war. Drawing on the work of King's College London Professor Dr David Betz, alongside polling, recent unrest and his own reporting, he examines how a subject once dismissed as the preserve of cranks is steadily entering mainstream debate as the social fabric begins to unravel. Looking to countries including Japan, Leb...

This week, Colin argues that the BBC has become less a public broadcaster than an instrument of state-sponsored activism, increasingly positioning itself as the arbiter of acceptable opinion rather than one voice among many. He traces Auntie’s evolution from John Reith’s mission to give audiences what they “ought to have” to today’s battles over bias, BBC Verify, and Labour’s proposals to promote...

This week Colin argues that Windrush Day is part of a broader ideological project to instil the idea that diversity "built Britain". While acknowledging the contributions of the 802 West Indian men who disembarked from the Empire Windrush in 1948, he argues that politicians and institutions have exaggerated their historical significance, turning a complex story of post-war migration into a nationa...

This week, Colin takes a 360-degree view of the unrest that has gripped Belfast after a Sudanese asylum seeker savagely attacked a local man. He urges listeners to condemn the violent response without ignoring the role that uncontrolled migration - and the mainstream media and progressive politicians’ failure to address it - has played in stoking community tensions in Northern Ireland. Set against...

This week, Colin examines how the killing of Henry Nowak has sparked a long overdue reckoning with issues of race, policing and justice in Britain. A system shaped by decades of anti-racism dogma has become unable or unwilling to spot racism when it falls outside the approved narrative, leaving police, politicians and the media trapped, unable to define what victimhood is in the 21st century. Trac...

This week, Colin looks at the Channel crisis through the story of Dunkirk, where small boats once came to rescue British soldiers from the beaches of northern France. Today, 86 years on, different small boats are setting off in the opposite direction. This is a story of the failure of the state, of borders, national will, and a Britain that too often treats problems as inevitable. Colin invites yo...

This week, Colin Brazier reflects on Brexit, what it meant to him and to his late wife, a lifelong Eurosceptic who saw leaving the EU as a matter of democracy, sovereignty and political honesty, rather than slogans or campaign spin. As failing politicians, desperately short of ideas, try to restart the Brexit wars, Colin revisits the bitterness of the referendum years, when millions of Leave voter...
