Can Nigel Farage Make Britain Christian Again?
Sep 15, 2026 | “Do not ask me to love everyone as I love those I’m close to – my actual neighbours.”
Reform UK has a vision for Britain built on family, community, and country, seeking to restore Britain to its Christian values. But what are those values? And can Christian nationalism work in the UK?
This is an original documentary for Times Radio produced by Hannah Drayton, Seth Maile, and Ben Wormald.
God Almighty! This agenda is redolent of Hitler’s agenda! Fascism is truly alive and kicking!
These people are dangerous. Keep them well away from the levers of power! Family, community, and country indeed! They’ll be coming with Ein Volk, ein Reich, und ein Führer next! Then people will know for sure that the country is in deep doo-doo!
If the shortage of babies is what they are concerned about—and they should be concerned about that—there is only one way to solve that problem and it is for women to have more babies. Reform UK won’t solve that problem with their policies.
And women will only be able to have more babies if they stay out of the workplace and procreate. This dearth of babies has been caused by feminism. The shortage started when women decided that motherhood was beneath them, so they chose equality with men instead. Fat lot of good that has done society!
When women are out working, they have little time to give birth, and still less time to raise babies. So, if society needs more babies—and it certainly does—it must be made possible for women to be able to afford to return to the home, return to traditional motherhood. Only then will western countries be able to facilitate enough babies being born.
It must be remembered, too, that children don’t bring themselves up. Good mothers do. The old model of the father being the breadwinner and the mother caring for the home and raising the children, with manners and good behaviour, was a model which we would do well to emulate today. All we need do is look around us and see what has happened to standards of behaviour by abandoning that model.
I know full well that my message will not be well received by many. The truth often hurts. Nevertheless, it needs to be stated.
Many think we can have it all: careers, children, solid family lives, etc. Unfortunately, we often cannot; so we must choose and prioritise. — © Mark Alexander

Christoph Blocher über die Schweizer Neutralität – das Interview zur Initiative
Am Sonntag, dem 27. September 2026, hält die Schweiz ein Referendum über die Neutralität ab – eine Initiative, die von der Schweizerischen Volkspartei (SVP) und Persönlichkeiten wie dem Milliardär Christoph Blocher (der in diesem Video zur Sprache kommt) vorangetrieben wird. Ziel ist es, die Schweizer Regierung davon abzuhalten, schrittweise in westliche Bündnisse einzutreten. Sollte die Initiative angenommen werden, würde die Verfassungsänderung Folgendes bewirken: ein Verbot von Wirtschaftssanktionen, den Ausschluss einer Zusammenarbeit mit der NATO sowie die Verankerung einer „immerwährenden und bewaffneten“ Neutralität.
Übersetzt/Translated:
Switzerland is holding a referendum on Sunday, September 27, 2026 on neutrality, an initiative spearheaded by the Swiss People’s Party (SVP) and people like the billionaire, Christoph Blocher who is in discussion in this video, who wants to stop the Swiss government from easing into Western alliances. If it passes, the constitutional amendment would do the following: ban economic sanctions; block NATO cooperation; enshrine “perpetual and armed” neutrality. — Mark Alexander

9/11 Victim’s Son Exposes US ‘Cover-Up’ of Saudi Arabia
Sep 14, 2026 | A quarter of a century after the tragic attacks on September 11, the families of some victims are continuing a pursuit of justice on behalf of their loved ones through a civil lawsuit against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In a ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, 9/11 Justice president Brett Eagleson, whose father Bruce was tragically killed in the attacks on the Twin Towers 25 years ago, breaks down the latest on the lawsuit and why he believes all the evidence that’s been uncovered during litigation “points a big fat finger at Saudi Arabia.” (The Kingdom, of course, denies any role in the 2001 attacks.)
Eagleson also discusses Trump’s cozy relationship with MBS and his failure “to try to get Saudi Arabia to admit culpability” for the attacks on September 11, as well as what he calls the “shameful” and “pathetic attempt” to ban New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from attending a commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero.

From the Rhine to the Reich: German Jewish Life before 1871 | The German History Podcast: 24
Premiered Aug 25, 2026 | In this episode, Katja and Chris trace the long and sometimes misunderstood history of Jews in German-speaking Europe, from Roman Cologne to the founding of the German Empire in 1871.
They explore how Jewish communities settled along the Rhine under Frankish and medieval rulers, survived cycles of expulsion and violence including the Crusades and the Black Death pogroms, and gradually built livelihoods as traders, doctors, and financiers who were excluded from land ownership and the guild system.
Along the way they examine the Reformation's impact on Jewish-Christian relations, the Enlightenment-era friendship between Moses Mendelssohn and Gotthold Lessing, and how the French Revolution and Napoleon's armies spread the idea of Jewish civic equality across the German lands.
The episode also looks at the 19th-century process of emancipation, the amicable social relations between Jews and Christians recalled by memoirists of this period, and how the deep, centuries-old entanglement of Jewish and Christian life made the antisemitism of the later Nazi era so emotionally devastating for German Jews.

Canada Should Become an EU State in All But Name. Here’s How to Make That a Reality
THE GUARDIAN: From the UK to Japan, so many countries need to quickly be brought inside the European tent without the rigours of full membership

The worst conclusion to draw from Iceland’s EU referendum result last month would be that the country, apparently now on Donald Trump’s imperial map along with Canada and Greenland, wanted to distance itself from Europe. Rather, the decision to refuse the reopening of EU accession talks shows that asking voters to choose between membership of the 27-nation bloc and staying outside the club is too binary. Some countries want to be inside the European tent without necessarily becoming members. The EU needs a new status for them.
There are existing models of close cooperation. Iceland and Norway, for example, participate in much of the single market through the European Economic Area (EEA). A range of other partial, gradual or associated membership options for candidate countries is being debated.
What I am proposing is different from any of them. It is not about setting up a stepping stone to accession, nor is it primarily about access to the single market. Instead, it is about letting like-minded countries combine with the EU when geopolitical and geo-economic necessities demand it, without them having to sign up to a predetermined constitutional outcome.
The main criterion for the novel status I call “integrated partnership” would be geopolitical rather than geographical. A country would not have to aspire to EU membership to qualify. It would not even have to be situated in Europe. Iceland, the UK and Norway are obvious potential candidates, but so are Canada, Japan and South Korea. » | Fabian Zuleeg | Monday, September 14, 2026

How did he become so powerful? How did he befriend so many important people? And where did the money come from that allowed him to abuse hundreds of girls and young women?
Panorama follows the crooked money trail to show how Epstein conned and ingratiated his way into the lives of the super-rich and then used their money to fund his global sex trafficking operation.

Andy Burnham cannot stop the United Kingdom from breaking up, Sinn Féin said after signing a pact with the SNP and Plaid Cymru.
The first ministers of the UK’s three devolved nations – John Swinney, the SNP leader, Rhun ap Iorwerth, leader of Plaid Cymru, and Michelle O’Neill, Sinn Féin’s vice-president – signed a memorandum of understanding during a meeting in Cardiff on Monday.
The deal aims to pile pressure on the Prime Minister after Donald Trump, the US president, said he would “love” to see a united Ireland.
Ms O’Neill, Northern Ireland’s First Minister, said Mr Burnham “will not be able to hold back the tide” of nationalism in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Speaking at a joint press conference by the four leaders, she said: “We’re certainly living in times of enormous change, change that is unstoppable, change that – no matter what is said by any British prime minister – will not be able to hold back the tide of what’s happening in front of our eyes right now.
“Our common cause here is the understanding that Westminster does not and will never serve our people well. Our common cause here is that we have the right to self-determination, and the common cause that we have here is that we need to collectively ensure that that message is heard in Westminster.” » | Simon Johnson | Scottish Political Editor | Monday, September 14, 2026

Russia Hits Train in Ukraine after Boris Johnson, Top European Officials Leave Station | BBC News
Sep 14, 2026 | A Russian drone has hit a train near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and top European security officials had passed through.
No casualties were reported after the strike at Yahodyn, which hit the train's engine. All the passengers had been evacuated, Ukrainian authorities said.
Johnson and other European national security advisers, including the UK's Jonathan Powell, had passed along the same line on a different train on their way back from a conference in Kyiv.
Russia said it had struck "railway infrastructure" in western Ukraine, but Ukraine's state railway company Ukrzaliznytsia said that "quite possibly, the target of this drone could have been the diplomatic train".

Irish, Scots and Welsh Leaders Meet to Plan Break-up of United Kingdom

Bring it on! The English have so badly managed the UK economy over decades that these three Celtic nations would be able to achieve greater prosperity as independent nations within the European Union. Northern Ireland only has to join the rest of Ireland and become united anyway. England itself could join the corrupt USA as a US state under Trump. It would be welcome with open arms. Trump will take the English to the cleaners, and he might even steal the Crown Jewels to get himself crowned king, but the English will get used to it and I’m sure they will enjoy their new life in Cowboyland. — © Mark Alexander

The English have so badly managed the UK economy over decades that these three Celtic nations would be able to achieve greater prosperity as independent nations within the European Union. Northern Ireland only has to join the rest of Ireland and become united anyway. England itself could join the corrupt USA as a US state under Trump. It would be welcome with open arms. Trump will take the English to the cleaners, and he might even steal the Crown Jewels to get himself crowned king, but the English will get used to it and I’m sure they will enjoy their new life in Cowboyland. — © Mark Alexander
This Chopin Piece Has a Story You Won't Forget
Hear the haunting history of Chopin Nocturne in C sharp minor, played live on the radio during the 1939 siege of Warsaw.
This video explores the remarkable story of a pianist who performed Chopin Nocturne in C sharp minor while bombs fell on the city. When the broadcast was abruptly cut off during the 1939 bombardment, it became a symbol of resistance and cultural endurance. We examine how this piece of music connected a nation through its darkest hour.
Learn about the personal history behind the performance and the moment the pianist returned years later to play the same piece once Polish radio resumed. This account is for anyone interested in the intersection of classical piano history and wartime events. Understanding the context of this broadcast provides a new perspective on why this specific Chopin Nocturne remains so significant to Polish history today.

Trump's Routine Irish Golf Trip Turned into a Diplomatic Nightmare
Sep 12, 2026 | What was supposed to be a low-stakes golf stopover transformed into an extraordinary display of geopolitical incoherence, historical ignorance, and personal grievances.
Standing under a tent at the Deerfield Residence in Dublin, Donald Trump delivered a context-blind address that laid bare a alarming lack of foreign policy literacy and total indifference to the delicate history of Ireland, the UK, and international relations.
From reducing top-tier diplomatic missions to country club perks, to treating complex issues like Irish reunification with reckless street-slang, this speech highlights why off-the-cuff statecraft remains a severe global liability.

How could Americans have been so naïve, wreckless and stupid as to elect, and then re-elect, this most unsuitable man to the presidency and into the White House? They will soon come to rue the day they did. — © Mark Alexander

Christians, Tell Me Where I'm Wrong
Does God answer prayer, and how do we explain suffering? As a former pastor, I used to point to answered prayer, provision, and personal breakthroughs as evidence that God is good. But when I saw extreme suffering—human trafficking, natural disasters, children dying. I put that in a different category: “God’s mystery.”
This tension…answered prayer vs suffering, God’s goodness vs God’s hiddenness…is often called the problem of evil. I’m not attacking faith; I’m asking a real question about how we reason: if we use our judgment to call God good when life goes well, what do we do with that same reasoning when outcomes are devastating for others?
