Welcome back to Paper View. This is the first episode of 2019.

In this episode, I cover stories which have the theme of respect.

Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel have said they both seek a European megastate merging France and Germany policy.

I talk about the wider picture of this proposal and why Macron and Merkel are far from the origin of the idea.

Ken Loach's hit 2016 film "I, Daniel Blake" I, Daniel Blake is poignant, searingly real and holds a mirror up to modern society's failings to help those most in need. I recently saw the film and talk about why the welfare system in Britain and poverty is so prevalent today.

Toxic masculinity has been in the news a lot recently. I talk about the real agenda behind the focus on toxic masculinity and go deeper than the mainstream media would ever go.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been alleged to have given an interview with the Daily Star talking about Generation Snowflake and political correctness. Johnson denies the interview ever took place but I talk about why the contents of the interview were absolutely right anyway.

Here's the poster I mention in the episode:
