Welcome to Episode 31 of the Sceptic! On the show this week, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following guests:

I speak to Thomas Fazi, columnist at UnHerd and Compact magazine, on how the EU's propaganda network of leftist NGOs is manufacturing consent for its globalist agenda. 

David Shipley, writer on prisons and justice, on the outrageous two-tier sentencing guidelines being introduced by the Sentencing Council – and why it’s a democratic outrage.

And for our premium subscribers, Laurie is joined by former Metropolitan Police officer Paul Birch, on his experiences in the police, the trouble with “community policing” and how the thin blue line went woke.
