    The US (as well as large parts of the western world) has been gripped by unrest in the wake of the appalling killing of George Floyd by american police. The black lives matter movement is central to the protests, but are the claims it makes accurate? I spoke to author and academic Wilfred Reilly about this. His argument is that the majority of the black lives matter movement's central assertions are inaccurate or misleading.I understand that this is a highly contentious and emotive topic so please feel free to leave a comment letting us know if your thoughts (but try to keep them civil if possible).Along with all other episodes, this podcast is also available on our youtube channel, 'E2 Review Podcast'.

    Response to the London Bridge Terror Attack (Short Episode)

    A very quick episode in response to the disgusting terror attack in London this week. Parts of the media have simply refused to mention the words 'Islamism' or 'Jihadism' at all in relation to this attack. That amounts to shielding this murderous ideology from critique. I discuss this and reflect on the week's horrific events.

    Free Speech, the Overton Window, and Epstein.

    In recent years there's been an attempt by some on the left to shift the parameters of 'acceptable' thought and discussion. Instead of disagreeing with speakers or the points they are making, there's an increasing tendency to try to prevent those speakers from being given a platform at all. To take one example, on university campuses, 'progressive' students have literally rioted, set things on fire, and physically assaulted other students and speakers on numerous occasions because the speaker or topic under discussion is deemed 'offensive', 'far right', 'extremist', etc, etc. Why is this the case, does it amount to censorship, and what are the implications for free speech? We discuss these points in this episode.Also, did Epstein really kill himself? Hint - we have no idea.Please SUBSCRIBE, and GIVE US A GOOD REVIEW AND RATING if you liked the show!
