Eric von Essex joins me for a rollicking tour through vintage engineering, land‑speed legends, and the allure of compressed‑air cars—plus a dramatic reading inspired by the Monty Python Big Red Book. We riff on forgotten innovations, media fear cycles, digital ID and facial recognition, and why genuine solutions so often get buried. Listener Paul calls in to unpack Paul Pantone’s GEET fuel reactor, sparking a wider chat about citizen ingenuity and bottom‑up organising. In hour two, publisher Jeff Roberts drops by to discuss historical inquiry, propaganda, and his team’s forthcoming work on The Holocaust Encyclopedia, leading to a broader conversation on free expression, labelling, and how power manages narratives—from Orwell, Brendan Bracken and the Fabian Society, to Churchill’s circle. We round out with a spirited defence of trial by jury, common law, and fully‑informed juries (contra Michael Portillo’s technocratic take), everyday over‑policing via policy, practical food resilience (including the humble chufa/tiger nut), and a couple of cracking tunes from Cooper Alan. Same time next week—bring your questions and your curiosity.<br /><br /><br /><ul><li>'Paul English Live (official site)': <a href="https://www.paulenglishlive.com" target="_blank">https://www.paulenglishlive.com</a></li></ul></p>

Eric and I kick off with his “five cooker” confession, why Hawkins beats the rest, and how to get melt‑in‑the‑mouth results without boiling the flavour away. From there we wander to the butcher’s bill for sirloin, cheaper cuts, brisket and shredded beef, and why buying direct from farms and local shops can beat the supermarket squeeze. We also share practical growing ideas—from keyhole gardens to biochar/terra preta—and small, doable steps to rebuild our own food resilience this winter.<br /><br />In hour two, Frederick “Blackbird9” Blackburn joins us to connect the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 with today’s supply‑chain control, fourth/fifth‑generation warfare, and the politics of food. We talk diet, logistics, and why stories and history matter—from Grimm and Graham Greene’s The Third Man to frontier realities and Tom Goodrich’s work. The through‑line: stop waiting on “them,” start organising with each other, and learn, grow and source your food like your grandparents did.

PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #114 · Food Revolution: Steven’s Raw Milk Pivot and Monika’s Free‑Speech Dispatch
NOV 27, 2025
PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #114 · Food Revolution: Steven’s Raw Milk Pivot and Monika’s Free‑Speech Dispatch
<p>Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: <a href="http://radiosoapbox.com" target="_blank">http://radiosoapbox.com</a></p><p>What a gloriously shambolic start to Episode 114—timers firing, music miscuing, and Shakespeare nearly breaking in—before we settled into a lively Thanksgiving-night broadcast on WBN. I recapped last week’s absence (no, I wasn’t abducted by Othello) and then welcomed Steven from Milkalicious, a Manchester-area dairy farmer thrust into the deep end by processor consolidation and contracts gone sour. Steven laid out the reality on British dairying in 2024–25: processors dictating terms, phones that don’t get answered, and a 40% price gap between supplier classes. His answer? Go direct. He’s now selling raw and soon pasteurised milk to the public, with butter, cheese and ice cream on the way—proof that a farmer‑to‑family “food revolution” is moving from talk to traction. We also covered vending plans, local delivery ideas, and why short, local supply chains beat fragile, centralised systems every time.<br /><br />In hour two, the indefatigable Monica Schaefer joined to discuss free speech, writing to prisoners (including Alfred), and Canada’s raw‑milk prohibitions. We roamed from platform failures and mask mandates to Magna Carta, cultural decay, and why rebuilding health begins with real food, real farms and real community. If you care about sovereignty—of your plate, your purse, your speech, and your soul—this one’s for you.<ul><li>'Paul English Live' website: <a href="https://paulenglishlive.com" target="_blank">https://paulenglishlive.com</a></li><li>'Milkalicious' (Steven’s dairy brand; early-stage launch): </li><li>'Rumble' (livestream/chat referenced): <a href="https://rumble.com" target="_blank">https://rumble.com</a></li><li>'YouTube' (livestream/chat referenced): <a href="https://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com</a></li><li>'Free Speech Monica' (Monica Schaefer’s site): <a href="https://freespeechmonika.com" target="_blank">https://freespeechmonika.com</a></li><li>'Truth and Justice for Germans' (site mentioned for Alfred’s address): <a href="https://truthandjusticeforgermans.com" target="_blank">https://truthandjusticeforgermans.com</a></li><li>'The Gulag Archipelago' by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (reference): <a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/103/1033533/the-gulag-archipelago/9781784871512.html" target="_blank">https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/103/1033533/the-gulag-archipelago/9781784871512.html</a></li><li>'Gone with the Wind' by Margaret Mitchell (reference): <a href="https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/margaret-mitchell/gone-with-the-wind/9781447271062" target="_blank">https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/margaret-mitchell/gone-with-the-wind/9781447271062</a></li><li>'Magna Carta' (UK National Archives resource): <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/magna-carta/" target="_blank">https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/magna-carta/</a></li><li>'William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke' (biographical reference): <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/William-Marshal-earl-of-Pembroke" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/biography/William-Marshal-earl-of-Pembroke</a></li><li>'Folger Shakespeare' (texts for Othello, Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice): <a href="https://shakespeare.folger.edu" target="_blank">https://shakespeare.folger.edu</a></li><li>'Tucker Carlson' (interview referenced): <a href="https://www.tuckercarlson.com" target="_blank">https://www.tuckercarlson.com</a></li><li>'Piers Morgan' (interview referenced): <a href="https://www.piersmorgan.com" target="_blank">https://www.piersmorgan.com</a></li><li>'Uber' (delivery idea discussed): <a href="https://www.uber.com" target="_blank">https://www.uber.com</a></li><li>'Amazon' (delivery/logistics mentioned): <a href="https://www.amazon.com" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com</a></li></ul></p>

We range across how propaganda works, the soft power of “nudges” in drama and entertainment, and the long arc from Bernays to today’s newsrooms. Eric Von Essex joins to swap war stories on the Corporation, Room 101, and the culture industry, and we reflect on how institutions get captured and why honest speech is so rare inside parties, newsrooms, and quangos.<br /><br />We contrast the media machine with listeners’ lived reality: immigration, the erosion of trust, and the way labels like “racist” are weaponised to shut down debate. There’s a nod to Van Morrison’s protest songs, a brief dip into Enoch Powell’s warnings about political cowardice, and a look at the Mike Graham/Talk fallout as another sign of the times. We finish with a heads‑up for Nathan Lucius, Mark Devlin and Steve James’s December gathering on the esoteric roots of Christmas—Saturnalia, Sirius, mushrooms, Krampus and all—plus some cheer, gallows humour, and a reminder to keep calm, keep talking, and keep laughing at the would‑be censors.<ul><li>'BBC (UK public broadcaster)': <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk</a></li><li>'Question Time (BBC programme)': <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006t1q9" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006t1q9</a></li><li>'Doctor Who (BBC programme)': <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006q2x0" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006q2x0</a></li><li>'Blue Peter (BBC programme)': <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mj3w" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mj3w</a></li><li>'Broadcasting House (BBC HQ)': <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/broadcastinghouse" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/broadcastinghouse</a></li><li>'The Spectator (magazine)': <a href="https://www.spectator.co.uk" target="_blank">https://www.spectator.co.uk</a></li><li>'Rod Liddle – contributor page at The Spectator': <a href="https://www.spectator.co.uk/writer/rod-liddle" target="_blank">https://www.spectator.co.uk/writer/rod-liddle</a></li><li>'The Orwell Foundation (George Orwell / Eric Arthur Blair)': <a href="https://www.orwellfoundation.com" target="_blank">https://www.orwellfoundation.com</a></li><li>'Nineteen Eighty-Four – Orwell Foundation book page': <a href="https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/books-by-orwell/nineteen-eighty-four/" target="_blank">https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/books-by-orwell/nineteen-eighty-four/</a></li><li>'Edward Bernays – Britannica overview': <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Edward-Bernays" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/biography/Edward-Bernays</a></li><li>'Royal British Legion – Remembrance': <a href="https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/remembrance" target="_blank">https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/remembrance</a></li><li>'Eric Gill (sculptor/type designer) – Monotype on Gill Sans': <a href="https://www.monotype.com/fonts/gill-sans" target="_blank">https://www.monotype.com/fonts/gill-sans</a></li><li>'Van Morrison – official site': <a href="https://www.vanmorrison.com" target="_blank">https://www.vanmorrison.com</a></li><li>'Enoch Powell – UK Parliament biography': <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/enoch-powell/1641" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/enoch-powell/1641</a></li><li>'TalkTV / Talk (News UK)': <a href="https://www.talk.tv" target="_blank">https://www.talk.tv</a></li><li>'Julia Hartley-Brewer – TalkTV profile': <a href="https://www.talk.tv/hosts/5015/julia-hartley-brewer" target="_blank">https://www.talk.tv/hosts/5015/julia-hartley-brewer</a></li><li>'Bank of England – Andrew Bailey biography': <a href="https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/about/people/andrew-bailey/biography" target="_blank">https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/about/people/andrew-bailey/biography</a></li><li>'Elizabeth Truss – official MP site': <a href="https://www.elizabethtruss.com" target="_blank">https://www.elizabethtruss.com</a></li><li>'Mark Devlin – official site': <a href="https://djmarkdevlin.com" target="_blank">https://djmarkdevlin.com</a></li><li>'Telegram (messaging app)': <a href="https://telegram.org" target="_blank">https://telegram.org</a></li><li>'Ko‑fi (creator support platform)': <a href="https://ko-fi.com" target="_blank">https://ko-fi.com</a></li><li>'Saturnalia – Britannica overview': <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Saturnalia" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/topic/Saturnalia</a></li><li>'Sirius (star) – Britannica overview': <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Sirius-star" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/place/Sirius-star</a></li><li>'Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) – Britannica overview': <a href="https://www.britannica.com/science/fly-agaric" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/science/fly-agaric</a></li><li>'Krampus – Britannica overview': <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Krampus" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/topic/Krampus</a></li><li>'Paul English Live (show hub)': <a href="https://paulenglishlive.com" target="_blank">https://paulenglishlive.com</a></li><li>'YouTube': <a href="https://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com</a></li><li>'Rumble': <a href="https://rumble.com" target="_blank">https://rumble.com</a></li></ul></p>
