    I'm ashamed to say I used to consider Neil Oliver as just the bloke who could presented a programme on the TV until I started listening to him on Talk Radio with Mike Graham and discovered an incredibly intelligent decent man full of traditional values and common sense. It was through Talk Radio and Rod Liddle I heard William speak and thought, wow, a politician who believes in traditional values of family, community and decency and realised how far away from conservatives the Conservatives have drifted. I have a lot to thankTalk Radio for.

      On the socio-economic level, I would be well left of centre but am culturally conservative and sick to the back teeth of wokeness. The SDP exude a conservatism that's way more in tune with majority opinion than what's represented in our current Tory administration.
      I agree. Neil Oliver has great things to say.A rarity indeed these day in media and academia.

    We can’t empty the cities on mass, the country side is being dug up on mass here in Kent and elsewhere!
    Move away from this housing market model (completely over priced housing) and renew the old inner city areas!
    It’s the current mad overt liberal model that’s doing so much damage.
    Bring back more localism and manufacturing and train people here ( not suck in cheap labour or Rob poorer countries of there talent !)

    Enjoyed the discussion. Thought there were some salient points made. But also some sweeping generalisations made. And a true lack of context for some of the complex issues of modern society. I think that the lack of traction for this video may come from the feeling that two old well educated men , who have highlighted that fact straight out the gate ,complaining about change and what they don’t like about it. Not that the some of the points they make may be true.

      actually whats really pathetic is grovelling to someone because of their credentials no matter what they say.
      a doctor who has 40 years experience working in hospitals is not to be taken seriously when they say men can give birth, degree and experience or not, over a plumber who says only women can.
      credentials mean we should expect a bare minimum. our professional/political class daily prove that credentials serve,as you prove, purely to subvert that and to allow a speaker to put forth any dross. i dont care how many historians tell me that the guys being slaughtered in t etrenches had white male privilege whilst the posh women sat at home on a comfy sofa was oppressed beyond belief, it remainsd horseshit.
