Podcast appearances and mentions of nigel farrage

A version of this essay was published by news18.com at https://www.news18.com/opinion/opinion-what-the-bjp-win-in-thiruvananthapuram-may-mean-or-may-not-9774658.htmlAs a native son, I believe the BJP's 50/101 seats in the Trivandrum Corporation in the recently concluded local body elections is an interesting outcome. But it must not be taken in isolation, and one must accept that this is neither a breakthrough for the BJP in the deep south, nor a mere footnote in the CPI(M)-Congress duopoly that has been the hallmark of Kerala politics. There are a lot of local factors, but yes, perhaps there is an underlying, nascent realignment.There is anti-incumbency: there used to be, like clockwork, one term for the UDF, one term for the LDF. But now, the CPI-M has been ruling for ten years in a row, and the voters may be fed up with them. In Trivandrum, for instance, the outgoing mayor, Arya Rajendran, who is in her 20s, has a well-deserved reputation for arrogance. Tellingly, she did not campaign in 2025.But there is more.There are at least four extraordinary factors at play here: One is the vanity that Kerala politics is somehow superior to politics elsewhere in (southern) India, because, you know, it is the 100% literate state. This is far from the truth. Mere literacy, that is, knowing the syntax of written language, does not guarantee you understand the semantics, that is, the ability to think critically rather than be gaslighted. The average Kerala voter is as easily manipulated as any other.Second, regional tensions. Kerala consists of three distinct regions: northern Malabar, which was under British rule, which meant it was plundered and underdeveloped. It also is Muslim-dominated. Central Kochi, which was a moderately dynamic dynasty, and is Christian-dominated. Southern Travancore, which was under a strong dynasty (but came under the sway of the British), and is Hindu majority.Third, the erstwhile consensus around ‘secularism' is fraying: it is now increasingly seen as merely a shibboleth meant to hypnotize the Hindu community into caste-based internecine conflict and keep it a permanent underclass, with fewer rights than those of other religions. Hindus are still fighting 19th century battles in the 21st century. The shocking neglect, occasional desecration of, and outright large-scale theft from, major temples such as Sabarimala may now be turning into a bit of an issue for the lay Hindu.Fourth, after half a century of left-wing politics, it is becoming increasingly clear to the average Keralite that it is being left behind in development and prosperity. At independence, Travancore in particular was far ahead of the rest of India in key metrics like infant mortality, female literacy, and infrastructure. But anti-business socialism has led to de-industrialization, forced migration of Keralites in search of jobs, and high inflation, while other states are passing Kerala by.On top of all this, there is the rampant politicization of everything (for example, government jobs do not go to those who have high ranks in the State Public Service Commission selection exams, but to party cadres). There is a truly bizarre situation where two parties, both in the INDI Alliance all over the country (CPI-M and Congress), pretend to be rivals in Kerala, and do charades and shadow-boxing, although they do tactical voting to prevent the BJP from winning.It startles me to hear that there is a Left (CPI-M) and a Right (Congress) in Kerala, according to pundits. In reality, they are an Extreme-Left party and a Far-Left party, respectively. Indeed, even the BJP, which is spoken of as Far-Right is a Center-Left party, so severely distorted is the discourse – the median is Far-Left.To an impartial observer, the only way the Congress in Kerala can be termed a Right-wing party is that it appeases its vote-bank, the Christians, although the FC Nairs also traditionally vote for them. The Communists, whose rank and file are mostly made up of the OBC Ezhavas, increasingly are dominated by the needs of their Malabar Muslim vote-bank. So in a twisted sort of way, both these Left parties pander to the Conservative sentiments of these religious groups.This has real-life consequences, which Travancore voters are seeing increasingly clearly. The last major investment in Trivandrum was the ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, which was required to be on the magnetic equator. After that, the National Institute of Technology went to Kozhikode (in Malabar). The Indian Institute of Management went to Kozhikode (in Malabar). The Indian Institute of Technology went to Palakkad (in Malabar). The AIIMS is also likely to go to Malabar or Kochi.A metro system was given to Kochi, even though Trivandrum has an equal or better claim in terms of population size and other metrics. Successive UDF and LDF governments have sat on the proposal for Trivandrum's metro (incidentally Kozhikode is also in the same boat). Trivandrum airport saw zero development for 40 years from 1960.Staggeringly, the Trivandrum port (Vizhinjam) was also delayed for 40 years, even though the deepwater container transhipment port there is now on track to handle a lot of India's container cargo, which now goes to Colombo. Instead, 4400 crores were spent on a container port at Kochi, which has only 8 meters draft and cannot compete with Colombo.Trivandrum/Vizhinjam has 24 meters in depth, which means literally the largest container ship in the world, MSC Irina, with 24,000 containers on board, can and in fact has called at this port.The LDF government twisted Adani Ports' arm and moved their logistics park for Vizhinjam, which Adani runs on contract, 200 km away to Kochi! In addition, the road and rail approaches to the port, which are necessary for ‘gateway' or upcountry containers from/to say Bangalore or Hyderabad, have been delayed for a long time over trivial land acquisition issues.These lapses are glaring, and add up to step-motherly treatment for Trivandrum. There must be a lot of resentment among the voters here about this, because their real estate values would go up quite a lot if Vizhinjam's business improves, and there will be jobs related to logistics, bunkering, cruise lines, and so on. Under the Sagarmala initiative, this is something that Trivandrum voters hope the Union Government will push forward, along with a proposed Tri-Services Maritime Command: thus both military and civil infrastructure may bring benefits.Finally, the excesses against Hindu temples, which are ruled by the Devaswom Board, packed with party cadres who may well be hostile atheists, are getting exposed broadly. There is a tradition prohibiting the entry of women between 10 and 60 years of age (ie. of childbearing age) into the shrine, which the women devotees in Kerala are broadly okay with, and don't feel particularly discriminated against. The Kerala government made a huge fuss over it, and attempted to smuggle in both non-believing women and non-Hindu women into the temple.This has troubled some of the CPI-M's traditional voters, for example the hitherto blase Ezhavas. As the attacks on Hindus continue, there is a bit of a counter-consolidation as well.There is no end: there is the huge current scandal of the theft of gold from the temple doors and dwarapalaka statues in Sabarimala (along with similar desecration in Guruvayur). There is an ongoing investigation, which ought to, if pursued properly, implicate highly connected political players. But recently, there have been instances of prosecutorial misconduct that mean likely criminals get away with, er, murder.Sowmya's alleged murderer Charlie Thomas aka Govindachamy was let off death row, because the prosecutor did not make a good enough case. An actor, Dileep, who allegedly took out a contract for a thug to rape an actress in a moving car, was let off. You guessed it, the prosecution did not make a good enough case.Incidentally, Christian churches with vast landholdings (a good bit of which was 99-year leases given during British days which has now, magically, turned into freehold), or Muslim mosques and other Waqf claimants rarely face the wrath of the State. Yes, there is a case wending its way through the courts about the peninsula of Munambam which is home to 600 families, mostly Christian fisherman, but is claimed in its entirety as a Waqf property.A net reflection of all this is that urban Hindus have begun to rethink their political views. There is a strong urban-rural divide as seen in the just-conducted local body polls. The urban, so to speak, constituencies have seen the vice-like grip of the LDF diminish a bit, but they remain strong in the rural areas. This is borne out by conversations with the rural poor, who talk about kshema pensions, NREGA, and so on as benefits they get from the State government.What this suggests is that anti-incumbency is playing its part; but the likely outcome is a return to the Tweedledum-Tweedledee “throw the rascals out every five years” syndrome of years past. The BJP is unlikely to make any quick inroads into this; they may not get many Assembly seats in 2026, and they are unlikely to get more than a couple of Lok Sabha seats in 2029.Yet, as for obvious reasons there is a Right-ward lurch in Europe, with the rise of AfD in Germany, Marine Le Pen's National Rally in France, and Nigel Farrage's Reform UK, and these parties are no longer easily put behind a cordon sanitaire, the BJP in Kerala is not any longer completely unelectable. The voters are beginning to see that it is not completely er… untouchable.It will be a long, painful journey, but maybe in a decade or two, the BJP can become a realistic opposition party in Kerala. To do this in the extreme South, in the very bastion of the Communists, as well as in a State with very large non-Hindu populations, would be quite an achievement for them. We shall have to wait and see if they have the stamina and the staying power for this grueling odyssey.Malayalam podcast of this essay by notebookLM: 1650 words, 15 Dec 2025 This is a public episode.

Bonjour les Barons. On se retrouve pour ce nouvel episode de Carnets de Guerre avec Emmanuel, un americain qui fait ses études à l'Université d'Oxford. Dans ce nouvel épisode on va parler ensemble de nombreux sujets : les facs françaises, Le Dark academia, Nigel Farrage, Javier Milei, les éléctions américaines etc 

In the days before this episode was recorded Andrew discovered that he has been, and maybe still is, the subject of extensive official data collection, including private information that might one day be used against him. The spooks are probably listening into these podcasts too! He believes this government surveillance is directly connected to his long pursuit of the facts about Lord Mountbatten's life, and perhaps also his current research into the financial side of Prince Andrew's life and work.Many newspapers have reported on what Phil calls #Lowniegate and several highly respected British journalists - like this week's guest Michael Crick - have called for an official inquiry into Andrew's case.In this special episode we discuss the many ways that the royal family and British officialdom try to obstruct - and maybe even attack - historians and writers as they dig for uncomfortable truths. Despite numerous Freedom of Information and Data Protections laws, is it harder than ever to get to the truth?The conversation also includes something touched upon in last week's episode on the Covid Lab Leak theory. Are reporters today themselves preventing important stories coming out because they become framed not in journalistic terms, but political ones. For example there's more evidence emerging that leading media and social media groups downplayed the lab leak story because it came to be identified with Donald Trump. You can buy Michael's many books at our online bookstore, including his recent biography of Nigel Farrage.https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/one-party-after-another-the-disruptive-life-of-nigel-farage-michael-crick/3378145?aid=12054&ean=9781471192296Andrew Lownie.twitter.com/andrewlowniePhil Craig.twitter.com/philmcraigYou can also get in touch with the show hosts via...team@podcastworld.org (place 'Scandal Mongers' in the heading please)This show is part of the PodcastWorld.org network.

45,000 ISIS in UK? WTF Is Going On Boris? Thousands of possible ISIS Sleepers Now In UK. There are now something like 45,000 illegal migrants mostly males in their late teens and twenties... and thats only the count so far. Can we expect a wave of bombings across the UK and Europe? Dont be too fast to dismiss it by the way. What the Hell is going on with Boris Johnson and his looney tunes? A few weeks ago, Nigel Farrage was lambasted by the left wing commie media for exposing a government secret that they knew would open up a can of worms. That being illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel from France aided by the Frog Coastguards who I would sink in heartbeat if I was in charge of this latest Tory Government fiasco.    

They're blackmailing each other and punching horses. The euroskeptic movement and its central party, UKIP, has continued to shamble forward as it falls apart in the most bizarre and pathetic ways possible. We're joined by Trashfuture's Riley Quinn, Alice Caldwell-Kelly, Milo Edwards, & Hussein Kesvani. In the other corner, submitted to our cold scrutiny, stands quite a menagerie: Tommy Robinson. Nigel Farrage. Paul Joseph Watson. Count Dankula. Sargon of Akkad. Dick Braine. All somehow connected through the UKIP party. This episode also includes a Jake story (UKIP 6 SIEGE) which adds Hussein Kesvani to the lot.

On January 29th, Nigel Farage held his final press conference as a United Kingdom representative to the European Union and had this to say in response to a question about the future finances above the European Union and the United Kingdom. He had this to say: “It's as if you'd think that the European Union was still the global superpower, and the seat of all known knowledge in the universe. The truth is the European Union is only about 15% of the global GDP, and next year it will be 14%. and by 2030 they'll be lucky if they're at 7%.”

Jan hat heute das Gefühl, dass er denkt, dass etwas gut ist. Thomas verwirrt das. Der Schwerpunkt unserer Sendung liegt heute auf zwei radikalen Kleinparteien, die die absolute Macht anstreben: Die Partei und die NPD. Darf man die Partei wählen? Oder schmeißt man damit die eigene Stimme weg? Außerdem behauptet Jan, Martin Sonneborn macht im Europaparlament dasselbe wie Nigel Farrage und stellt Behauptungen über Herrn Öttinger und über das Demonstrationsrecht auf. Beim Demonstrationsrecht liegt er falsch, sagt Thomas. Die heutige Sendung ist etwas kürzer.   Über den richtigen Umgang in politischen Grenzsituationen sprachen wir bereits in der Vergangenheit. Ob man angehenden Faschisten die Kleidung entwenden darf besprachen wir in der Folge "Widerstand am Badestrand" und ob man mit sächsischen Rassisten einen satirischen Film ansehen muss diskutierten wir in der Folge „Mit der AfD im Kino?“   Ablauf   3'25 Populist der Woche   13'20 Eine Münze, zwei Meinungen   14’06 oder 14’33 Beginn der Diskussion   28'40 Ende der Debatte   31'55 Neues aus dem Abendland   Links: Rosenstein und sein Abschied.   Martin Sonneborn grillt Herrn Oettinger, der nicht völlig unsouverän reagiert aber auch nicht auf alle Fragen geantwortethat.   Ein Artikel, der sich kritisch mit den Herstellern von E-Zigaretten, insbesondere Juul auseinandersetzt. Juul war bei uns bereits in der Folge 27Populist der Woche, weil die Liquids hohe Nikotingehalte aufwiesen und so schnell abhängig machend sind.     Der Ton macht die Musik Der Ton hatte leider einen Rückfall, Thomas ist leiser als Jan. An der Tonqualität und der Struktur werden wir weiter arbeiten, versprochen.   Musik: "To be happy" (2007), von RENICH, von dem Album: Nocturnal Overtures  CC-BY-SA   Bild: "Don Quijote", gemalt von J.

While Britain reels in a complex dance with the European Union, and within its own walls, to try to form a deal, a power behind the scenes is being orchestrating the outcome. However, the finger of God has indicated a course to be pursued by Britain which cannot be evaded.
