How the UK Establishment Normalised Reform
<p>Is Reform fascist, far-right or merely right wing? And do we really need to get into this?</p><br><p>Our guest on this episode, thinks we should: Daniel Trilling is a journalist, a long-time openDemocracy contributor, and the author of a new Book: If We Tolerate This: How the British Establishment Made the Far Right Respectable.</p><br><p>Daniel has spent decades covering the wild west of right-wing politics in England— from the fascists to the conservatives. </p><br><p>And his point, which we dig into over the length of this episode, is we need to correctly diagnose what Reform is, and what they are tapping into, before we decide what to do about it.</p><br><p>I found this conversation particularly thought provoking for two reasons: Whenever we cover Reform on openDemocracy (and we go at them very hard), we often get readers writing in saying, “I support Reform but I’m not racist”; On the other hand, I worry — to borrow from the title of Daniel’s book, if we are making a dangerous group respectable.</p><br><p>So yes, we need to get into it, and Daniel is just the person to do this with. </p><br><p>Buy Daniel's book: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/8711/9781037411571</p><br><p>Subscribe to openDemocracy: opendemocracy.net</p><br><p>00:00 Introduction</p><p>01:05 The Collapse of the UK's Two-Party System</p><p>02:18 The First-Past-The-Post Lottery</p><p>03:07 What is the "British Establishment"?</p><p>04:19 The Media Elite & Private School Pipelines</p><p>05:32 The "Punitive State": Working Class vs. The State</p><p>07:37 The Nigel Farage Playbook</p><p>10:48 The False Promise of "Fixing the Country"</p><p>13:30 "Anti-Nationals" & The Right-Wing Identity Crisis</p><p>16:32 Scottish Nationalism vs. Englishness</p><p>18:23 The Identity Void of Post-Empire Britain</p><p>21:40 How to Actually Defeat Reform UK & The Far-Right</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The AI Panopticon: How Big Tech and the State are Watching You
<p><strong>"My ultimate vision... was to achieve by means of AI and technology, what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his panopticon." — UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.</strong></p><p><strong>When the state openly admits it wants its eyes on you at all times, how do citizens fight back?</strong></p><br><p><strong>In this episode of </strong>In Solidarity, Matthew Linares sits down with Jim Killock, Executive Director of the Open Rights Group. We cut through the Silicon Valley PR to expose the terrifying reality of the modern surveillance state. From the aggressive rollout of facial recognition and predictive policing to the "revolving door" between Big Tech lobbyists and policymakers, we explore how our democratic infrastructure is being hollowed out for corporate profit.</p><br><p>This isn't just a warning - it's an escape plan. Jim breaks down the illusion of corporate regulation, the realities of "enshittification," and the actionable steps you can take to reclaim your digital sovereignty today.</p><br><p>Get involved offline.
