Summary

Frank Wright joins me after going viral for saying that reality, not extremism, is radicalising people.

We discuss Britain’s decline, Restore, Reform, immigration, national identity, liberal democracy, working-class dignity, debt, inflation, the failure of our institutions, and why Frank believes this is the last chance to save the nation.

I push Frank on what it actually means to restore Britain, how you build a big enough tent, why nationhood matters, and how we avoid this ending in conflict.

Whatever your politics, Frank has clearly touched a nerve - and I wanted to understand why.

0:00.0	It's reality that's radicalising people and it isn't really my moment, it's not about me.
0:05.4	I was on my feed and I saw it and then I saw it again and then I saw it again and I saw it again.
0:10.8	The reason why it became so popular is because it just speaks to the reality that we all have to inhabit.
0:17.2	Basically noticing reality is extremist and the reason why it's extremist is because
0:22.1	the extremists are in power. Britain must be restored and we cannot do with any more mad political
0:28.1	visions. This really is a dire national emergency. And I believe this is the last chance we have
0:34.3	to save the nation. The reality that we inhabit is so awful that the costs
0:39.2	of saying nothing are higher than the cost of speaking out. People can see what they're losing
0:44.9	now and they know that when it's gone, it's gone forever. The system is failing. It's disintegrating
0:50.2	now. It failed to break us all. England lives and we are going to win.
0:59.6	Anyway, Frank, you've had a week. Oh dear, I should never have left the Shire.
1:05.6	Obviously, I think completely the opposite and you've sparked a conversation and now you're
1:10.6	here.
1:11.6	Do you know what? I was on my feed and I saw it and then I saw it again and then saw it again and I saw it again and then I saw Glenn Greenwald retweet it and then I saw Eon Must retweet it and I was like, what the hell is this? I put it on. I was, man, I was captivated. I think as a lot of people were. were. I think you managed to do something I wish I could do,
1:31.1	which is articulate every problem with this country in about 10 minutes,
1:36.5	in a coherent, intelligent, and compelling way.
1:41.2	And if I wasn't radicalized already, certainly was after I watched it.
1:44.9	Well, like I said in there, it's reality that's radicalising people. And it isn't really my
1:49.8	moment. It's not about me. The reason why it became so popular is because it just speaks to the
1:56.4	reality that we all have to inhabit. And why don't we hear it often enough? Why do we hardly ever hear that reality described?
2:02.6	Well, those points of view of the ordinary common people are systematically excluded from the media,
2:08.6	and indeed from any position of influence in society altogether.
