In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Allison Pearson, journalist and columnist at The Telegraph, for a revealing conversation about the collapse of Britain’s asylum system, media bias, and the cultural denial gripping the political class.
Allison exposes how caseworkers are being forced to grant asylum to known sex offenders and violent men, including those on the sex offenders register, due to loopholes in Britain’s asylum laws. Drawing on her bombshell reporting, she explains how hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants have vanished into the system, how Home Office staff are incentivised to approve asylum claims without vetting, and how police and terror checks were suspended to meet political targets.
We discuss the BBC’s censorship and bias, the moral blindness of Britain’s ruling elites, and what Allison calls the nation’s “suicidal empathy” — a refusal to protect its own people out of fear of being called racist. From asylum hotels and rising community tensions to the far-centrism of the establishment, this is an unflinching look at how Britain lost control of its borders and what it will take to reclaim them.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Lady Frederick Windsor, Sophie Winkleman, to discuss the dark side of smartphones, social media, and educational technology.
Sophie, who went viral for her powerful speech at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, exposes how screens are rewiring children’s brains, destroying attention spans, and fuelling an epidemic of anxiety, self-harm, and gender confusion. From toddlers swiping before they can speak to schools replacing books with tablets, she warns that we are raising a generation addicted to dopamine and detached from reality.
We explore how EdTech has infiltrated classrooms, how Big Tech is monetising childhood, and why governments and charities have failed to act. Sophie argues that “Big Tech in a school uniform” is not education; it is a billion-dollar experiment on our children.
All this, from the smartphone crisis and the dangers of EdTech to the moral blindness of modern parenting, and why returning to books and real teachers may be the only way to save our children’s minds.
The interview was recorded on: 23rd September 2025

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Father Benedict Kiely, founder of Nasarean.org and one of the world’s leading voices on the persecution of Christians.
We discuss the genocide unfolding in Nigeria, where thousands of Christians are being murdered each year by Islamist militias while Western governments and media look away. Father Kiely exposes how the massacre of Christians is dismissed as “climate change” violence, a lie repeated by politicians and journalists unwilling to name Islamist extremism.
From ISIS’s resurgence across Africa and the Middle East to the silent persecution of Christians in Iraq under Iranian-backed militias, Kiely lays bare a pattern of denial stretching from Abuja to Washington. He explains how Christianity faces extinction in its ancient homelands, the failure of the West’s moral leadership, and why Europe’s collapse of faith has left it powerless to confront evil.
We also explore stories of hope, the revival of Christianity in post-communist Albania, the endurance of believers speaking Aramaic in Iraq, and why, despite centuries of persecution, faith refuses to die.
All this: Nigeria’s genocide, Islamist expansion, the silence of the West, and the rebirth of Christianity where it was once crushed.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with investigative journalist Zak Garner-Purkis for a shocking exposé on the London grooming gang cover-up that Sadiq Khan denied for years — and the Metropolitan Police’s sudden admission that they are now reviewing 9,000 potential cases of group-based child sexual exploitation across the capital.
Zak explains how his investigation uncovered official reports personally read and signed off by Sadiq Khan containing evidence of grooming gang victims — evidence that was ignored, downplayed, and hidden in plain sight. He reveals how political correctness, bureaucratic definitions, and media cowardice allowed predators to operate with impunity in London while authorities claimed the problem didn’t exist.
We discuss the failures of the Met, the political motivations behind the cover-up, and why survivors have been made invisible by those meant to protect them. Zak also shares his reporting from the French migrant camps, exposing how criminal networks traffic people across the Channel and why Britain’s border crisis and child exploitation scandal are deeply connected — symptoms of a nation unwilling to confront uncomfortable truths.
All this — London’s hidden grooming gangs, Sadiq Khan’s denials, the Met Police’s reversal, and Britain’s moral collapse.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Robert Midgley, journalist and spokesperson for the Friends of British Overseas Territories, to expose what could be Keir Starmer’s greatest political scandal yet — the quiet handover of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.
We unpack how this shocking deal — costing British taxpayers up to £47 billion — effectively gives away sovereign UK territory in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Robert reveals how the Labour government, under pressure from international legal activists like Philippe Sands, has undermined British sovereignty and endangered one of America’s most strategic military bases, Diego Garcia.
From allegations of corruption and hacked negotiations in Mauritius to the Chinese Communist Party’s interest in the region, we examine how Britain’s political and legal elite have allowed foreign powers to dictate national policy under the banner of “decolonisation.”
We also explore the untold story of the Chagossian people — forcibly removed by the British government in the 1960s, yet still overwhelmingly pro-British today, despite decades of betrayal.
All this — the Chagos scandal, the billions in taxpayer money, China’s growing influence, and how Starmer’s Labour is sleepwalking Britain into surrendering its sovereignty.

This is my recent speech from Lugano Plan ₿ Forum where I discussed the escalating free speech crisis across Europe. I explore how Switzerland’s famed neutrality is challenged by new authoritarian trends, exemplified by the prosecution of Emmanuel Brunischolz for a social media post, and draw parallels with Germany’s raids on online speech, French digital censorship, and Britain’s growing crackdown on jokes, memes, and even silent prayer. I also delve into historical precedents of European censorship, from blasphemy laws to the Inquisition, and highlight why Bitcoin and cryptography represent crucial new frontiers in the ongoing fight for liberty. Whether you care about digital rights, liberty, or decentralisation, this talk underscores the urgent need to protect every remaining territory of freedom in the face of modern censorship.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, to expose the corruption and hypocrisy within the United Nations and how it has become one of the world’s biggest enablers of antisemitism and terror.
From the Soviet Union’s 1975 campaign declaring “Zionism is racism” to today’s Hamas apologists like Francesca Albanese, Neuer reveals how the UN was captured by authoritarian regimes and weaponised against Israel. He details how organisations like UNRWA have been infiltrated by Hamas operatives, turning schools and aid programmes into fronts for jihad — all funded by Western taxpayers.
Neuer explains why the so-called “rules-based international order” never truly existed, how the Human Rights Council became a haven for dictatorships, and why Britain and Europe continue to bankroll organisations that indoctrinate children to hate.
A shocking and essential conversation on the UN’s betrayal of its founding principles, the persistence of antisemitism in international institutions, and the urgent need for moral courage and reform in the West.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with author and host of Maiden Mother Matriarch podcast, Louise Perry. We delve into confronting some of the most pressing cultural and political divides in the West today, particularly in Britain.
We unpack the rise of gender polarisation, exploring why young women are shifting sharply leftwards while young men drift right. Louise explains how class, marriage, and maternal instincts shape political identity, and why progressive ideologies around immigration, transgenderism, and abortion have often harmed the very women they claim to protect.
From the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal and elites’ betrayal of Britain, Louise exposes uncomfortable truths about class contempt, cultural fear, and why working-class women are bearing the brunt of progressive experiments.
We also discuss the legacy of the post-war consensus, fears of fascism, and how politics has taken on a new quasi-religious dimension for younger generations.
This fearless conversation explores women, class, progressivism, immigration, and the dangerous myths shaping our future.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Tal Hartuv, Israeli author, educator, and survivor of a brutal terror attack, for one of the most powerful and personal conversations I’ve ever had.
Tal recounts surviving a jihadist knife attack in Jerusalem that took the life of her Christian friend, and reflects on what it means to face pure evil and live to tell the story. She explains why she refuses to forgive her attacker, who has since been freed under the latest Gaza hostage deal, and what that decision says about justice, mercy, and the moral decay of the modern West.
We discuss the October 7 massacre, the hypocrisy of Western elites who condemn Israel while excusing terrorism, and the cultural sickness that treats murderers as victims and victims as villains. This is a warning to the West about what happens when it loses the courage to name evil.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Haviv Rettig Gur, one of Israel’s leading political analysts, for an in-depth breakdown of the Trump peace plan, the end of the Gaza war, and the chaotic aftermath now unfolding inside Gaza.
With the hostages returned and the ceasefire in place, Haviv explains how Hamas has re-emerged from the tunnels, executing its rivals and reasserting control — while Israel withdraws under intense global scrutiny. He reveals why the Trump administration’s 20-point plan to rebuild Gaza faces collapse, how Qatar and Turkey’s support for Hamas is undermining regional stability, and why the international “stabilisation force” may become a new UNIFIL — protecting terrorists rather than disarming them.
We discuss Trump’s strategic play — leveraging Qatari fear, Turkish ambition, and American power to end the war — and whether this marks a genuine peace or simply the start of another chapter in a long regional conflict.
All this — the Trump deal, Hamas’s resurgence, Qatar’s influence, American troops in Gaza, and the uncertain new world order emerging in the Middle East.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Bostom, scholar of Islamic history and author of The Legacy of Jihad and The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism, for a sweeping conversation about the true history of jihad and the rise of Islamic antisemitism.
Bostom explains how the origins of jihad trace back to Muhammad’s early campaigns in Medina, where religious mission turned to imperial conquest. Drawing from original Islamic sources — he reveals how violence, slavery, and subjugation became sacralised through theology, shaping centuries of conquest from Persia and India to the Middle East and North Africa.
We explore the massacres of Jews and Christians, the destruction of Hindu and Buddhist civilisations. The system that humiliated non-Muslims under Islamic rule. Bostom also discusses the connection between early Islamic teachings and modern antisemitism, from the Hadith quoted in Hamas’s charter to Nazi alliances in the 20th century.
A detailed, uncompromising look at the forgotten history of jihad, the ideological roots of Islamic imperialism, and how centuries-old doctrines continue to influence modern conflicts across the Middle East and beyond.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Colonel John Spencer, one of the world’s leading experts on urban warfare, to break down the brutal realities of the Israel–Hamas war.
Spencer explains how the October 7 invasion was more than a terror attack – it was a coordinated military operation, backed by Iran and linked to Hezbollah. He describes in detail how Hamas used tunnel networks, IEDs, and human shields to wage war inside Gaza, deliberately drawing civilians into the battlefield to create global outrage against Israel.
We discuss the IDF’s strategy, from their full-scale ground invasion on October 27 to the unprecedented measures taken to warn and evacuate civilians – even at the cost of prolonging the war. Spencer also reveals why Gaza has become the first modern “tunnel war”, why snipers and booby-trapped homes shaped the conflict, and how Israel managed to hold off threats across multiple fronts, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Iran itself.
This is a rare, insider military analysis of the Gaza war – exposing the tactics, strategies, and propaganda battles that most of the media ignore.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Silkie Carlo, Director of Big Brother Watch, to discuss Keir Starmer’s announcement of mandatory digital IDs and what it means for the future of Britain’s freedoms.
Silkie explains how this scheme, coupled with new laws like the Online Safety Act, risks creating a surveillance state where every transaction, message, and movement can be tracked. From facial recognition on the streets to secretive “non-crime hate incidents,” she warns that Britain is sleepwalking into authoritarianism under the guise of safety and security.
We explore the role of tech giants and AI-driven censorship, the government’s appetite for mass data collection, and how ordinary people are being criminalised for speech once protected by law. Silkie argues that privacy is not a luxury — it’s the foundation of a free society.
A chilling but vital conversation about digital IDs, mass surveillance, and the urgent fight to reclaim our liberties before it’s too late.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Mike Benz, former State Department official and leading critic of the Censorship Industrial Complex, to expose how governments and NGOs are working hand-in-glove with Big Tech to police free speech across the West.
Mike explains how the EU’s Digital Services Act and Britain’s Online Safety Act are being used to impose AI-driven censorship, threatening not only European citizens but also Americans posting from within the US. We explore how these laws function as a “digital censorship regime,” backed by crippling fines and international coordination.
From USAID funding NGOs to shut down cross-border political movements, to the Hate Lab in Cardiff feeding real-time speech data to UK police, Benz reveals how censorship has become industrialised — and how Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter briefly broke the system.
We also discuss the Biden administration’s role, the UK’s crackdown on comedians and dissidents, and the disturbing reality of AI censorship ‘Death Stars’ designed to silence debate on elections, COVID, climate, and more.
A deep dive into the machinery of modern censorship — and what it means for the future of free speech in the West.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with journalist, author, and host of The Brink, Jake Wallis Simons, to unpack the latest in the Israel–Hamas war, the UN’s controversial genocide report, and Britain’s recognition of a Palestinian state.
We examine what Keir Starmer’s decision really means — and why Hamas itself has called it the “fruits of October 7.” Jake explains how the propaganda war has been waged from 1947 to today, why the UN has long been biased against Israel, and how famine and aid are manipulated as weapons in the conflict.
We also discuss Jake’s new book Never Again: How the West Betrayed the Jews and Itself, where he argues that anti-Semitism is a symptom of the West’s civilizational decline, from centrist fundamentalism to the rise of radical ideologies.
A wide-ranging conversation on Israel, Gaza, the UN, Western weakness, and whether we can restore our lost values.

Journalist Michael Tracey joins The Winston Marshall Show for an uncompromising deep-dive into the murky world of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the web of conspiracies surrounding their crimes.
Tracey separates fact from fiction — breaking down Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, the failures of federal prosecutors, and the dubious credibility of key accusers like Virginia Giuffre. He exposes how much of the “Epstein mythology” has been built on shaky claims, media sensationalism, and opportunistic lawyers, while real questions remain about Epstein’s finances, intelligence links, and the powerful figures in his orbit.
They discuss Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, the infamous “Little Black Book,” and the Miami Herald investigation that reignited the scandal. Tracey also examines the suspicious circumstances of Giuffre’s recent death, her fortune from settlements, and the ongoing disputes over her estate.
All this — Epstein’s crimes, Maxwell’s role, the credibility crisis of accusers, media distortion, and the conspiracies that refuse to die…

Journalist and author Batya Ungar-Sargon joins The Winston Marshall Show for a hard-hitting conversation on Trump’s second term, America’s working class, and the fight to rebuild the middle of the country.
Ungar-Sargon breaks down Trump’s economic revolution — from tariffs and immigration controls to reindustrialisation and the push to restore American manufacturing. She explains how these policies are shifting the balance of power away from the elites and back towards ordinary workers, while corporate media and political insiders try to discredit them.
They discuss the fentanyl crisis, China’s role in hollowing out American industry, and why Trump’s fight over tariffs in the Supreme Court could redefine U.S. economic sovereignty. Batya warns that without bold changes, the American dream risks collapsing for an entire generation.
All this — tariffs, Trump’s revolution, the fentanyl epidemic, immigration, and the battle to save America’s working class…

Investigative journalist Andy Ngo joins The Winston Marshall Show for a harrowing conversation on the murder of Charlie Kirk, political violence, and the media’s complicity in misreporting to fit their agenda.
Andy explains how far-left extremist networks celebrated the assassination, how narratives were laundered to downplay the killing, and why America is entering a dangerous new phase where political violence is normalised. Drawing on his years investigating Antifa, Ngo lays out the connections between online subcultures, extremist ideology, and the growing climate of hate.
We discuss Portland as ground zero, the role of sympathetic journalists in shielding extremists, and the chilling rise of assassination culture in U.S. politics. Andy warns that unless exposed, these networks will keep eroding trust and silencing dissent through fear.
All this— Antifa’s evolution, media distortion, and the dangerous new normal of America’s culture war on the streets…

Author Rob Henderson joins The Winston Marshall Show to dissect America’s deepening political divide.
From the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk to the refusal of Democrats in Congress to honor his death, Henderson explores how anger has tipped into hatred — fueling a climate where political violence is no longer unthinkable. He distinguishes between anger as bargaining, and hatred as wishing opponents didn’t exist, warning of a dangerous escalation.
Drawing on his work in psychology, Henderson explains the “dark triad” — narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy — and how social media rewards these traits, amplifying extremism online. He considers how the lack of a common enemy after the Cold War and 9/11 has turned Americans inward, seeing each other as the threat.
From immigration battles and “luxury beliefs” among elites, to the gender divide in politics, marriage, and the rise of anti-natalist ideology — Henderson maps out how cultural and psychological fault lines are remaking American life.
Can the US pull back from the brink of hatred-fueled politics?

Author, comedian, and economic commentator Dominic Frisby joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on money, empire, and the collapse of the postwar consensus.
Frisby, whose viral songs made him an unlikely folk hero, turns here to the themes of his new book The Secret History of Gold. He explains why money is the “blood of society,” how Nixon’s 1971 decision to abandon the gold standard set the stage for endless inflation, and why fiat money is driving inequality, debt, and the anger fuelling populist revolts from Trump’s Rust Belt to Javier Milei in Argentina
They trace the story back to Bretton Woods, Roosevelt’s gold confiscation, and the technocrats who used paper money to expand the modern state. Frisby warns that today’s bloated governments, trapped in debt and endless money-printing. But can gold or Bitcoin restore trust and prosperity?
All this—the golden age of Britain, the fiat fraud of the 20th century, Javier Milei’s revolution, and why fixing money is the key to fixing the West…
