Summary

Peter Whittle is a cultural commentator, author, and founder of the New Culture Forum, a think tank challenging the dominance of progressive orthodoxy in British institutions.

In this interview, Peter breaks down the deep institutional capture of Britain, the betrayal by both major parties, and why polite reform isn’t enough. We discuss the failure of the police and media, the collapse of national identity, and the urgent need to rethink the structure of government. Peter explains how culture drives politics, and why fighting back starts with building our own institutions.
