Colonel Richard Kemp - Is The Iran War The Same As Iraq? British Colonel Breaks Down The Iran War Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with former British Army officer Richard Kemp to break down the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, the legality of intervention, and Britain’s refusal to fully support its allies.

We examine whether military action against Iran is justified under international law, the doctrine of self defence, and the Responsibility to Protect. Colonel Kemp argues that Iran has been at war with the United States and Britain for decades through proxies, and that recent attacks on British sovereign territory in Cyprus change the legal and moral equation.

The conversation explores Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s stance on international law, Britain’s military readiness, and whether domestic Islamist pressure is shaping UK foreign policy. We discuss the perception of British weakness in Washington, the collapse of deterrence, and what this means for NATO, Russia, and China.

We also analyse the battlefield itself, from air superiority and ballistic missile strikes to the degradation of Iran’s military command, Hezbollah’s position in Lebanon, and the possibility of regime change in Tehran. Finally, we examine the wider geopolitical consequences, including oil markets, China’s strategic calculations, Russia’s reliance on Iranian drones, and what this war could mean for Hamas and the future of Gaza.

A hard headed and wide ranging conversation about war, deterrence, sovereignty, and whether the West still has the will to defend itself.

Ben Judah - The Most Controversial Island That Is Splitting The West Feb 28, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with journalist and former government adviser Ben Judah to dissect the Chagos Islands deal, Diego Garcia, and the geopolitical battle shaping Britain’s future.

We examine why the UK agreed to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, the role of the International Court of Justice, and how UN decolonisation rulings placed mounting legal and diplomatic pressure on Britain. Judah explains the strategic importance of Diego Garcia, the sensitive US military capabilities based there, and why American officials quietly pushed London towards a settlement.

The conversation explores China’s growing influence in the Indian Ocean, the risk of Mauritius pivoting towards Beijing, and why British officials feared losing access to critical US military infrastructure. We debate sovereignty, international law, national security, and whether Britain was defending its interests or surrendering territory under diplomatic pressure.

We also discuss the future of Britain’s Overseas Territories, proposals to integrate them more fully into the United Kingdom, and whether the Chagos deal reflects strategic realism or managed decline.

A serious and wide-ranging conversation about geopolitics, American power, China’s rise, and whether Britain still knows how to protect its global position.

Raymond Ibrahim - “Heroic!” The UNCENSORED History of THE CRUSADES Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at https://Mengotomars.com

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with historian and Middle East scholar Raymond Ibrahim for a deep historical examination of the Crusades, the centuries long conflict between Islam and Christianity, and the moral framework of just war.

We challenge the modern narrative that portrays the Crusades as unprovoked Christian aggression, and instead trace the centuries of Islamic expansion that preceded them, from the conquest of the Levant and North Africa to the fall of Christian territories across the Mediterranean. Ibrahim lays out the theological, military, and political realities of the era, arguing that the Crusades were understood at the time as defensive wars within a Christian just war tradition.

The conversation explores jihad doctrine, papal authority, pilgrimage routes, the Byzantine appeal for help, and the brutal realities of medieval warfare on all sides. We discuss how both Christian and Muslim chroniclers recorded atrocities, enslavement, and religious violence, and why sanitised or selective readings distort the period.

We also examine how the Crusades are invoked in modern political rhetoric, why historical memory shapes contemporary tensions, and whether the West has lost confidence in telling its own story honestly.

A rigorous and unfiltered discussion about faith, war, civilisation, and what the Crusades really meant in their own time.

Michael Shermer - “Religion is a practical and pragmatic truth!” Former-New-Atheist Intellectual on Morals Without God Feb 21, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with science writer and sceptic Michael Shermer to debate truth, morality, atheism, and whether reason alone can ground a moral system.

We examine David Hume’s is-ought problem, the foundations of human flourishing, and Shermer’s argument that survival and well-being provide a rational basis for ethics. I challenge him on whether this is simply a different kind of leap of faith, and whether Enlightenment liberalism ultimately rests on inherited Judeo-Christian assumptions about the individual, the soul, and human dignity.

The conversation explores empiricism, pragmatism, evolution, and the limits of reason, alongside debates about Christianity, secular humanism, and whether religion provides measurable social benefits. We also tackle the legacy of New Atheism, the rise of woke ideology, environmentalism as a quasi-religion, and whether the moral arc of history truly bends toward justice.

A wide-ranging and philosophical exchange about faith, reason, truth, and whether the modern West can defend its moral foundations without returning to religion.

Lionel Shriver - The Shocking Psychology of Liberal Women Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

I want to see you in New York for Dissident Dialogues! Get your tickets HERE : https://dissidentdialogues.org/

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychological roots of progressive politics.

We begin with the backlash to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s claim that Britain has been “colonised,” and explore why immigration has become the most morally charged issue in Western politics. Shriver argues that debates over borders, demographic change, and the so-called “great replacement” divide societies into irreconcilable camps, and that mass migration touches deep anthropological instincts that elites refuse to acknowledge.

The discussion moves beyond economics into culture and psychology, examining performative guilt, self-righteousness, and what Shriver calls the narcissism at the heart of modern progressive ideology. We explore why national identity has been hollowed out, why anti-border politics often coexists with hyper-individualism, and how the collapse of religious faith has left a moral vacuum filled by activism.

We also debate falling birth rates, the status of motherhood, childlessness, and whether Western societies can survive demographic decline without either restoring cultural confidence or radically transforming themselves. Shriver argues that a civilisation unwilling to reproduce itself cannot expect to endure.

A provocative and deeply philosophical conversation about immigration, identity, family, and whether the West still believes in itself.

Julie Bindel - 100,000+ Underage Victims: This Has Been Going On Longer Than We Know… Feb 14, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with investigative journalist and feminist campaigner Julie Bindel for a forensic and deeply disturbing conversation on Britain’s grooming gang scandal, institutional failure, and the ongoing cover-up.

Julie traces the origins of the r*pe gang crisis back to the 1990s, long before it became national news, and explains how police, social services, and local authorities repeatedly ignored warnings from families. We discuss cases from Leeds, Blackpool, Rotherham, Telford, and London, and examine why organised child sexual exploitation by predominantly Pakistani Muslim gangs was treated as politically untouchable.

The conversation explores the role of multiculturalism, fear of being labelled racist, and the systematic refusal to prosecute perpetrators or protect victims. Julie outlines how many abused girls were instead criminalised, dismissed as troublesome, or left trapped in prostitution, while those responsible faced little accountability.

We also examine Sadiq Khan’s denial of grooming gangs in London, the contrast between county lines drug crime and organised r*pe networks, and Rupert Lowe’s independent inquiry into the scandal.

Julie argues that without a full statutory inquiry, with real legal consequences, justice will remain out of reach for thousands of victims.

A harrowing and unflinching discussion about child sexual exploitation, state failure, political cowardice, and whether Britain is finally prepared to confront one of the darkest chapters in its modern history.

Mike Benz - ‘The CIA Ties To Epstein Are Overwhelming’ The Epstein Files are getting worse... Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with investigative journalist Mike Benz to break down the latest Epstein files, the intelligence networks surrounding them, and why these revelations are shaking political establishments on both sides of the Atlantic.

We examine the newly released documents revealing Epstein’s role as a financial fixer for global elites, his deep ties to intelligence agencies, and the revolving door between government power, private finance, and national security. Mike explains how favours, insider access, and influence peddling shaped decisions at the highest levels of American and British politics.

The conversation explores CIA connections, the Mandelson affair, crony capitalism, and why Epstein appears less like an isolated criminal and more like a central node in a vast elite network. We also discuss censorship operations, the weaponisation of disinformation laws, and the growing backlash against the digital censorship regime.

We then turn to Epstein’s death, the unanswered questions surrounding it, newly revealed prison footage, and why official explanations continue to fuel public distrust.

A deeply unsettling conversation about power, corruption, secrecy, and why the Epstein scandal may be far bigger than anyone was prepared to admit.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with historian and peer Lord Andrew Roberts for a sweeping conversation on Britain after 1945, the defeat of Churchill, and the post-war settlement that shaped the modern world.

We begin with why Winston Churchill lost the 1945 general election, despite winning the war, and how promises of state provision, nationalisation, and the Beveridge Report reshaped British politics. Lord Roberts explains how wartime socialism, propaganda, and unrealistic expectations laid the foundations for decades of economic stagnation.

The discussion explores Britain’s post-war decline, austerity, debt, and the illusion of prosperity created by Lend-Lease, Marshall Plan aid, and Keynesian economics. We examine why Germany and Japan rebuilt faster than Britain, how trade unions and high taxation crippled growth, and why successive governments chose to manage decline rather than confront it.

We also discuss immigration, the welfare state, deindustrialisation, and how the failures of the 1945 settlement echo through Brexit, Trump, globalisation, and the collapse of the rules-based international order. Lord Roberts reflects on NATO, the United Nations, American power, and why the West now faces a historic turning point.

A wide-ranging and authoritative conversation about history, power, leadership, and whether Britain can rediscover the courage to reverse its long decline.

⁠Michael Shellenberger - “The Left Is Getting People Killed” Minneapolis Explodes Into CHAOS Jan 31, 2026

Show notes

Get your tickets for Dissident Dialogues HERE : https://dissidentdialogues.org/

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with author and investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger for a forensic conversation on the Minneapolis ICE clashes, political radicalisation, and why he argues that the modern left is getting people killed.

We examine the killings that followed ICE deportation operations in Minneapolis, the role of activist networks in obstructing law enforcement, and how rhetoric comparing ICE to Nazis has fuelled reckless and dangerous behaviour. Michael explains why he believes organised interference, misinformation, and moral absolutism created the conditions for violence.

The discussion explores left-wing authoritarianism, the psychology of radical movements, and how protest tactics have shifted from civil disobedience to deliberate confrontation. We compare Minneapolis to Portland’s autonomous zones, January 6, and Black Lives Matter, and examine why decentralised activist networks are so difficult to contain.

We also debate the failures of ICE training and leadership, the Trump administration’s strategic missteps, the Second Amendment, personal responsibility, and whether democratic protest crosses a line when it interferes with law enforcement operations.

A hard-hitting and deeply uncomfortable conversation about ideology, power, accountability, and how political movements can lose control of their own consequences.

Danny Kruger - How Reform Plan To Tear Down Blair’s Deep State Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

Get your tickets for Dissident Dialogues HERE : https://dissidentdialogues.org/

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Conservative MP and political reformer Danny Kruger for a wide-ranging conversation on civil service reform, Christianity, nationalism, and the future of British democracy.

We discuss Kruger’s critique of Blairism, the expansion of the administrative state, and why he believes Britain is no longer governed by Parliament, but by an unaccountable alliance of civil servants, judges, and quasi-independent institutions. He explains how depoliticisation, judicial activism, and the rise of quangos have hollowed out democratic accountability.

The conversation explores Kruger’s philosophy of conservatism rooted in family, community, and nation, his defence of civic rather than ethnic nationalism, and his argument that Britain remains a fundamentally Christian civilisation, even as faith has been pushed out of public life. We debate immigration, integration, multiculturalism, and whether British identity can survive rapid demographic and cultural change.

We also examine plans to reform the civil service, the House of Lords, and the judiciary, including restoring parliamentary sovereignty, repealing the Human Rights Act, and confronting institutional resistance to democratic mandates.

A searching and provocative conversation about power, faith, reform, and whether Britain can recover its constitutional foundations before social and political breakdown accelerates.
