Welcome to Episode 29 of the Sceptic! On the show this week, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following guests:
Eugyppius, pseudonymous commentator and author of the substack Eugyppius: a plague chronicle, on the election in Germany and JD Vance’s bombshell Munich speech.
Professor Eric Kaufmann, Director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham and the author of books including Whiteshift (2018) and Taboo (2024), on a recent controversy over whether Rishi Sunak is English – and whether the Trump administration can reverse woke culture.
And for our premium subscribers, Laurie is joined by Chris Bayliss, independent consultant and writer for publications including the Critic, on what’s behind the shocking recent wave of migrant terror attacks across Europe.
