Sounding BoardDemocracy and why voting is wrongHow can it be in any doubt? Of course they want you to vote.
After a chat about Joe Biden and whether Andrew thinks he may have been too quick to judge that he’s been replaced, we get into an old favourite topic, voting.
Spurred on by articles by Miri AF, but also a desire to start building a coherent and consistent set of reasons, Nic goes through a list of notes that detail how democracy is flawed and voting is wrong.
Starting by categorising the reasons into groups, we discuss each on...
2024-07-031h 47Sounding BoardWhy Are Some People Never Ill?This week, Andrew muses why he’s never ill. At least, not for a few years. He was never ill that often, but what changed in 2021? He certainly changed a few things about his lifestyle, but then so did Nic, and Nic has been ill a few times, recently. We decide to tackle this scientifically and try to ascertain what it is that Andy now does that prevents him from ever getting sick. Is it chicken soup? Crystals? Could it be gin…?
After that, we reflect on our previous podcast and what we said about Kate (and the...
2024-04-011h 47Sounding BoardProfessor Dolores Cahill Seminar – Part 1This episode is a little different from our normal podcasts.
Nic and I aren’t chatting in this one. Instead, we present to you a talk that was given last year. A talk, you’ll be pleased to know, that was given by someone other than ourselves.
It’s difficult to overstate just how courageous our speaker is, today. Nic and I have been open about how we should have done more during the covid madness. This person had no such issues. While Nic and I, and you, were breaking the rules in small ways. Visiti...
2024-01-151h 32Sounding BoardElliott’s Obsidian ScalpelAndrew revisits the philosophical razors we’ve previously discussed, but rather than a flaming laser sword, comes up with an obsidian scalpel. We put it to the test, which leads us to another of our favourite things – a scale.
At Sounding Board we love a good spectrum, so Andrew details his 4 levels of clown show and we inevitably end up going full “cockup vs conspiracy” with a discussion on how far psychopathy pervades The Cathedral, and organisations in general.
What makes a useful idiot a psychopath? Just ask Matt Hancock.
Elon Musk’s X is also...
2023-12-212h 22Sounding BoardFood, EMFs and WarWhen you eat a plant are you microdosing poison, or does it really want to be eaten?
Andrew has a theory that the most delicious things must surely want to be consumed by man.
Nic reveals a startling change in his well being after a birthday present from Andrew – does this mean Nic has been sensitive to EMFs all along?
And finally we talk of the events in the Middle East. What do they mean, and what do the They want to achieve?

2023-11-081h 33Sounding BoardWhy Are Products Getting Worse?In this episode, Nic starts off with some news about where we’re charting in political podcasts. Or not. In the past, we would have considered this bad news. But now, we consider this good, as it means we’re being recognised as no longer primarily commenting on politics. This reminds Andrew of a scenario he was in recently that is a huge white pill. Something that most normies would think is bad, but to us, is amazing.
Next, Andrew talks a bit about how things, physical things, are getting worse. We list a few things that have...
2023-07-041h 23Sounding BoardNot Optimistic, But HopefulIn this episode, Nic starts off by asking Andrew how he feels about the current war. Which war, you ask? Andrew asks the same thing.
We talk about waking up and whether it’s better off to be awake, or whether blissful ignorance would lead to a greater happiness in life. We then talk about dreams, the types of recurring dreams we both have and what they may mean.
We then move on to cognitive dissonance and try to categorise people (something we quite like to do every now and again) into different buckets of pe...
2023-06-121h 29Sounding BoardMasks, Masseuses and MoronsIn this episode, Andrew starts out by relaying some information about his recent visit to our beloved NHS, peace be upon it.
Andrew and Nic then discuss a couple of people from the other side, Sam Harris and Scott Adams. Both have been pro vax, but both have appeared recently with completely different outlooks.
Finally, Nic speaks about his recent experience with a new ally.

Nic gets tangled up with some creationists which leads to a discussion on purity tests and more examples of Elliotts’ Laws.
And who is giving scepticism a bad name?

You might think that at least some regulation is needed to prevent sub standard goods entering the market place. Possibly you think that the state is the only mechanism for courts, the police and… roads.

2022-09-131h 51Sounding BoardBodily Autonomy, Bugs, Birth Rates, Bicyclism and Blax CutsToday’s episode is brought to you by the letter “B”. Not intentionally, but a few topics started with it and we managed to crowbar a few more in.
We start off with the repeal of Roe v Wade and ask why pro choice libertarians don’t seem to think moving decisions closer to the people they affact is a good idea. Andrew has an idea to kill two birds with one stone: shutting the left up about reparations whilst proving how good tax cuts can be.
Unfortunatel, we couldn’t not talk about the plumeting...
2022-07-142h 25Sounding BoardThinking Things Through
Sometimes people just don’t think things through. They don’t think about the ramifications or simple interpretations of what they are spreading around.
Andrew has some observations of examples of precisely these viral memes and trends that were truly wide of the mark, but not maybe in the way you originally thought.
Does it change your perception?
Nic then talks about how his children seem to be following his lead when it comes to understanding the role of the police and central banks, and how a simple childrens story about “happytown” has a great m...

As a result, the photos and stories about his origins are flooding social media again.
Is it true? Well, as Andrew discusses whether or not he believes this particular conspiracy, Nic has already prepared a list of other classics, from the moon landing to JFK.

2022-02-181h 25Sounding BoardWhat Does The Future Hold?After a brief chat about the return to some old social media platforms, following on from our last podcast, Andrew makes a few predictions about what may happen in the future. Speculations around how people may behave, what they may say and how the narrative may change. Time will tell whether these are more accurate than Andrew’s last prediction that “Masks will be gone in six months”…
In the middle of this, as regular listeners will know, we’ll normally fetch a scotch or two. But this time, Nic brings out a local gin that we both try a...
2022-02-101h 11Sounding BoardThe Future Of Social MediaIn this episode we talk about Social Media.
Nic starts by letting Andrew know that one of his recent tweets about Ivermectin has been marked by Twitter as ‘misinformation’, in spite of all the evidence to support his claim. We wonder whether Spotify will start adding a warning to these podcasts, after their recent new protocol.
We then talk about different social media platforms and how they’re evolving with the times.
Will there ever be one platform to rule them all? Or will the left and everybody else always have to separate?

2022-02-081h 05Sounding BoardAvoiding Healthcare Like The PlagueIn this edition we discuss staying out of healthcare’s way by looking after our own fitness.
Whether its workouts or eating well, it can all play a part in avoiding the doctors.
Nic has been trying Chaga mushroom tea, and talks of the surprising benefits to his workout recovery.
We talk more about how things might look as the covid narrative starts to crumble, and what peoples reactions are going to be when they realise they have been had.

2022-01-191h 35Sounding BoardWhy doesn’t SAGE model positive scenarios?
It’s a week before Christmas, and the veil has been lifted once more on the decision making at the highest levels of government in the UK.
In a rare moment on twitter, the head of modelling for the government’s SAGE committee admitted that it would be essentially pointless to model positive outcomes of covid this winter, and that actually it’s policy makers that decide what to model.
We discuss that decision making process and how it’s only designed to go in one direction.
Nic thinks this is one of many exa...
2021-12-201h 26Sounding BoardMore Elliott’s Law, Normalising Heart Issues and Converging OpportunismRemember Elliott’s Law from a previous edition? Andrew thinks he has an example outside of politics, in archeology. Although of course, it turns out everything is political.
Are there actually 2 laws, here? And can we broaden the scope of observations to cover more territory of human behaviour?
The corporate media are filling us with stories normalising cardiac issues – whether its blaming the weather, climate change or fitness, but definitely not the injections people have been brainwashed into having.
But who co-ordinates these messaging campaigns? And do they all have to agree? We disc...
2021-12-131h 11Sounding BoardCautious, yet, er, reversible?In this edition, Andrew starts out by reading a list of the worst people in Britain. This isn’t another “what’s worse?” game, or a “yes / no” game like Dick & James Delingpole often play. No, these people are so catastrophically awful that there can be no dispute.
After that, Nic reads out another list. This time it’s a catalogue of all that has happened in the past couple of months. In a time where the ‘rona has evolved into something akin to the common cold, we discuss each item and marvel at just how shocking it is to hear ju...

Andrew thinks we need a new term to describe the vaccine effectiveness. No surprise that it leads with a negative. Nic thinks that over time he’ll be proven right that they haven’t been effective at all at saving anyone from death, especially in the old and vulnerable.
We discuss the UK statistics regulator, and their leader’s open letter to the UK...
2021-11-231h 01Sounding BoardPower Corrupts
So called “Fact Checking” goes up a notch with a tweet from Zuby posted on his instragram that fails this nonsense measure of reality. Are we getting to a point where some platforms just won’t be worth using any more? Is this what they want? Is there an alternative or are more and more people going to end up like Nic and just rarely post anywhere.
And let it be known we don’t shirk from the most difficult of philosophical freedom questions. How far would you go in your destruction of things you consider bad?

2021-10-141h 06Sounding BoardWhat do we know, so far?
Nic reads out a list of things we now know for sure related to SARS-CoV-2 and in particular its origins. Knowing what you know, how do you process that information, and how do you cope with the burden of the truth?
Andrew analyses the methods of the enemy and asks whether its the perfect blend of communist reasoning with fascist methods, which leads Nic to ask the question, does hard centrism naturally lead us to technocracy?

We begin by reminiscing what it was like twelve months ago and how far things have changed over the past year, before making predictions on what the next, and coming years have in store for us.
Will lockdowns be a thing of the past? Or will they be a threat constantly hanging over our...
2021-08-131h 21Sounding BoardThe What’s Worse Game: Dad EditionAfter listening to the first What’s Worse Game, our Dad couldn’t resist getting in on the action, and so came up with a new list of competing horrors for Nic to challenge Andrew with.
The aim of the game is to pick the worst of the two options – not the least worst – and then explain why.
There are some absolute corkers in this week’s version of the Worst Game, and we cover such lovely topics as slavery, the BBC and Sadiq Khan.

2021-07-0803 minSounding BoardThe What’s Worse GameAfter a brief hiatus while Nic recovered from surgery, we’re back with a new game of Andrew’s devising.The What’s Worse Game.
In this new game, Andrew gives Nic two deliberately awful options and asks him to say which one is worse.Sometimes personal, often extreme, Nic reacts to each and tries to justify why he’s right.But does it reveal an aspect where libertarians and voluntaryists find they end up defending a least worst position without always advocating for the end of the state?

2021-07-0245 minSounding BoardThe ScienceWhen people say they are following The Science(tm) do they really mean they are following orders?
How do you row back from additional interventions when they aren’t based on anything at all, let alone The Science(tm) or The Orders?
We discuss stupid examples of interventions, whether its schools or supermarkets, and how if the scaremongering was right, that they would actually make things worse with their actions, not better.
The CDC moves the goalposts on testing the vaccinated for Covid, which leads us to discuss whether any government statistic is wo...
2021-06-0658 minSounding BoardHow To Stop Wearing A MaskThis week begins with Andrew offering some advice on the easiest places to forgo masks.
We then talk about PCR tests as Nic has just had to have one in order to have a minor medical procedure. Are these tests as accurate as the government is stating? And why don’t they quarantine testers as soon as they test someone positive?
After that, Nic gives us some insight into his recent private hospital experience. How much better is it than the NHS?
Finally, a couple of months ago, Andrew posited that it could be...
2021-05-2933 minSounding BoardTestosterone Passports and Eating MeatThis week, Andrew did a rare thing. He wrote a blog post.
Inspired by the recent talk of Covid Passports, he wondered if this new technology could be used for something else. Something good. The final idea? Testosterone Passports! Nic and Andrew discuss this completely serious and not at all funny idea in full.
They then move on to another health related topic: dieting. Nic has been trying out a new diet for the past few months. He explains how he’s taken the 5% meat plan that limp wristed leftists advocate and turned it on it...
2021-05-1836 minSounding BoardLaughing At Politicians – The Best Political HumourThis week, Andrew starts with an analogy. Anti-fascists maintain that if you’re not a communist, you’re on a slippery slope to fascism. He asks whether this means that if you’re not obese, you’re on a slippery slope to anorexia. Is that analogy any more ridiculous? And does is stand up to Elliott’s Law?
Andrew and Nic move on to laughing at various politicians and ask whether they are all ‘fair game’. They then discuss our favourite humourous political photos. And just how many pictures of Jeremy Corbyn does Andrew have on his phone?

2021-05-0430 minSounding BoardWhat Colour Pill Have You Taken?Can naming your children really make a difference? Nic certainly seems to think so as he explains to Andrew why he thinks his immediate family must undoubtedly be the solution to the world’s problems and why he’s now a little more white pilled.
We then discuss what it means to be red, blue, white or black pilled before asking whether blue pilled libertarians are some of the biggest obstacles to freedom.

Surely we can apply the same rules to both injections and infections?
And Nic decides to find out what the UK medicines regulator means when it says the Covid gene therapies (vaccines) are “safe and effective”.
Is 2 months really enough for a trial of an experimental drug where you don’t follow up on more than half of the recipients?

2021-04-071h 03Sounding BoardMotorcar MusingsOver the past couple of months, Andrew has found that some of his best thoughts come when he’s driving. As he can’t very well text and drive, he’s been recording them on his phone.
With a couple of months of recordings now accumulated, he decided to play them to Nic in order for them to properly discuss them to see if they made any sense after being properly thought through. There are a bunch of different ideas from Andrew, including another example of Elliott’s Law and some stern criticisms of both conservatism and socialis...
2021-04-011h 05Sounding BoardSteel Manning VaccinesThis week, Nic wants to steel man vaccines.
Let’s be honest. We struggle with this one! Is it possible to steel man the arguments for vaccinating the entire population (including people who have had it and are now immune) without steel manning authoritarianism? We certainly give it the old college try along with making a few predictions about what will happen in the future.

2021-03-261h 14Sounding BoardGamers – will they save us?This episode Andrew wants to talk about something close to his heart: Gaming.
More specifically, he wants to talk about gamers, as they have been in and out of the media for the past few years. We start by talking about games themselves and what they entail, to give you an idea of the type of person they attract. We then move on to Gamergate and, more recently, the GameStop hedge fund affair.
Can Andrew convince Nic, his relatively black pilled brother, that there is hope? Will Gamers save us from SJWs and the evangelical...
2021-03-0156 minSounding BoardI’m Forever Blowing CovidsThis week, we’re back talking about the only game in town: the ‘rona.
We discuss the ridiculous behaviour of a new phenomenon: “leapers” and relay information about how well the new vaccine centre around the corner from Sounding Board HQ is doing. Spoiler: not very. We also discuss covid centrism, as well as applying it to Elliott’s Law to see if it still holds up. Andrew also predicts that kids blowing bubbles will soon be banned (or at least it will be called for).
Finally, we talk about the zero covid muppets and how they a...
2021-02-1653 minSounding BoardElliott’s LawThis episode, we discuss Elliott’s Law, which Andrew has just created:
a) In politics, respect only flows one way: in the direction of statism.
People more statist than you are always “misguided”, people less statist are always “dangerous”.
There’s this idea that a little (or a lot) more state than what you prefer, is always far better than ever so slightly less.
b) The more you are demonised by people more statist than you, the more you demonise people less statist.
In this respect, objectivists are no better than...
2021-01-0733 minSounding BoardThe Sounding Board Christmas MessageIn this season of festivity and joy, it’s time for the Sounding Board Christmas message.
Will it be a message of hope for the future? Will we be encouraging others to “stay safe” and keep away from Granny?
Don’t be silly. In this special Christmas edition of Sounding Board Nic keeps it very simple, and rather brash, while Andrew offers advice on how to make sure the true meaning of Christmas is kept even in these dark times.
We also argue over what makes a Christmas film as Andrew shares his definiti...
2020-12-2433 minSounding BoardThe Covid CasedemicAs England heads toward a return to the Lockdown tiering system and out of the 4 week November national Lockdown, we discuss how meaningless the numbers are that have driven us this far.
How exactly to do you count false positives with the now ubiquitous PCR test for SARS-CoV-2?
Does the recent Chinese study really show that asymptomatic people don’t spread the disease, or is this yet more bad science?
We talk about whether or not it’s likely that someone infected can spread it at all if they don’t know it and An...
2020-11-301h 31Sounding BoardUS Elections, Social Media And The Desperate Corporate PressAfter a brief hiatus (circuit break?) due to work commitments, we’re back, and we’re raring to go.
This time, we talk about the recent US Election. We discuss the results and whether they appear, on the face of it, to be slightly dodgy. We then discuss the corporate press (legacy media), fact checkers and the way things have changed, even over the past few years.
We finish with a recent experience Nic has with being banned from Twitter for saying mean words to someone who was in on the joke and found it funn...
2020-11-2742 minSounding BoardCircuit Breaker Or Will Breaker?This week, Nic notices that there has been a noticeable change in the political landscape, with the two main parties finally diverging over lockdown policy. But is this a good thing or not?
Certainly when all political parties agree then alarm bells should ring, but if one goes even further, even more authoritarian, will that encourage the other to become more libertarian? Or will it encourage more authoritarianism all round, with every party trying to out-government each other?
We then talk about what could come next. More national lockdowns? Or ever increasing local lockdowns? What...
2020-10-1549 minSounding BoardOffice outbreak, Trump tests positive and what about the roads?Some actual infections have finally occurred in Nic’s office, and of course, everyone is fine, but wouldn’t it have been better for this to happen in the summer months rather than trying to suppress until the changing of the seasons when all the other bugs appear again?
Trump also tests positive, along with his wife Melania. How long before the President bats away this virus? Would Biden fair any better? Will it change the course of the US election in a month?
And what about the roads?? As CityFibre threaten to dig up Nic’...
2020-10-0448 minSounding BoardExam Grades, the Rule of Six and Our Growing Police StateNic is back from Cornwall after cancelling his trip to Corfu, but how much of a holiday was it, being herded through one way systems, with mask nazis everywhere?
He also shares his recent experiences with masks and how its stopped him attending medical appointments. We cover the exam grading debacle, where yet another computer model mucks up people’s lives – this time students. But will there be long term consequences of not ever having sat your exams? Who will hire the class of 2020?
This leads us onto talking for the first time in depth abou...
2020-09-161h 28Sounding BoardVirtue BroadcastingFurther to Andrew’s recent blog post about Virtue Broadcasting, we take the topic further.
We discuss virtue signalling in general, before moving on to the louder, shoutier form that is broadcasting. We talk about different forms of signals, from Twitter bios to mask wearing to clapping like a trained chimpanzee every Thursday evening.
We talk about Ben & Jerry’s recent Twitter rant and ask whether it makes any difference to us. Do we really care about the opinions of companies we buy from? What would it take for us ro stop buying from them?
2020-09-0934 minSounding BoardThe Chocolate EpisodeIn this edition we review some of the latest polling and see just how crazy the numbers are for people supporting the unprecedented government interventions of 2020. Does it very much if you are a Labour or Tory voter or are they all happy to be authoritarian in an pandemic.
Andrew tells the story of how his wife needed to go to hospital and whether he was allowed in to see her for fear of spreading a virus he doesn’t have.
We discuss masks again, and how they dehumanise what were every day fun experiences, lik...
2020-08-211h 05Sounding BoardLeft Leaning Language and Grievance SignallingIs a common language enough any more or do you need to somehow signal your political or woke intentions? How does that work when the Overton Window shifts so frequently?
We talk about the evolution of terms such as “Coloured People” and “People of Colour” to define groups of people, and whether its a feature of the woke or broadly the political left to signal how up to date you are by using the most trendy phrase.
Has virtue signalling started leading to a new form: grievance signalling. And is that more about feeling safe by identif...
2020-08-1235 minSounding BoardHackonomics: Market Forces and Unethical BehaviourWith the recent hacking attacks at Twitter and Garmin, Nic explains the detail behind another attack on a company called Blackbaud.
They claim to have stopped a cyberattack, but they are explicit that they paid the ransom demand.
Can companies really guarantee their data is not going to be released or sold after paying the ransom? Why did Blackbaud admit to paying it?
Will this behaviour encourage more cybercriminality, and do market forces actually mean that it’s in the interests of cybercriminals to not release the data?

Andrew explains where the lockdown model was pioneered (you won’t believe it if you don’t already know), and we discuss why it became popular as a methodology despite being so flawed.
Why were policy makers so ready to curtail our basic freedoms? Will behaviour modelling be turned towards other policy areas to “prove” that something needs to be done?

Starting out with Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt, Andrew moves on to discussing four of his favourite novels; George Orwell’s 1984, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and, finally, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.
We talk about why these books are great, why Andrew recommends them and ask whether any of them could ever change the mind of an ardent socialist.

With regulations now moving from public to private spaces, and definitions emerging of just what “a gathering” is, we pick apart this poorly crafted document, to show that everything has a loophole, and that our freedoms are actually being eroded more, not less.

Gardens become legal places to congregate, but don’t think about going indoors for a cuppa. Are these ridiculous restrictions the death knell for lockdown?

2020-05-3122 minSounding BoardThe Left Right Game: Covid19 EditionIt’s been a while coming, but this week sees the return of an old favourite: The Left Right game.
After a brief chat about Dominic Cummings and the latest, supposed lockdown breaking by an official, Nic launches into the latest Left Right game, this time with a Covid19 twist.
If you’re new to the podcast, this is where one of us reads out a selection of policies, individuals, institutions, or indeed anything. The other then has to say whether they’re left or right (and justify his position). Sound easy? It’s harder than you...
2020-05-2743 minSounding BoardThe Left’s Lost Love, Brexit and the Covid Flat CurversIn this outdoor, socially intimate edition, Andrew asks whether the Left have lost their traditional hard working ethos in favour of the politics of envy, Nic finally finds something he thinks Boris is doing right – Brexit, and can we come up with a better term for lockdown scepticism?

Why don’t those on the left actually get memes?
Did this one in particular hit a nerve with teachers?
When will schools actually open, and will they be an environment parents will want to send their children back to?

We learn about the over zealous teaching unions and the local authority taking crazy steps to essentially stop schools from opening in any practical sense.
And won’t somebody think of the children? We talk about mental well-being and whether the guidance brought in will have a damaging effect on young minds.

2020-05-1617 minSounding BoardRevised Regulations, Shameful Schools and Manipulating Models
In this edition, we talk about the new, revised regulations that have just come into force during the current covid-19 lockdown.
We talk about the effects of the lockdown so far, and indeed the social distancing guidance that occurred beforehand. What are the chances of you succumbing to sars-cov-19 right now? Are you more at risk from some horrific trouser related accident?
We discuss how schools are interpreting the regulations, and indeed the guidance, which already goes further than the regulations itself.
Finally, we take a second look at Neil Ferguson’s computer model and ask ourselves what it tells us...
2020-05-141h 23Sounding BoardFerguson’s Fall, Imperfect Polling and Messy ModellingAs Neil Ferguson is revealed to have broken the lockdown that his infamous computer model insisted we must institute, we talk about poetic justice, elitism and whether Professor Ferguson should ever have been trusted based on his catastrophic track record.
We also take a look at the computer code behind the Imperial College model and why it should never, ever have been given the time of day.
Andrew observes different responses to the Ferguson’s fall from grace from the political left and right, whilst wondering if Carol Cadwalladr is actually a creation of Andrew Do...
2020-05-081h 36Sounding BoardLeft Vs Right And Ideological CentrismEven though we’re still in lockdown, we’ve started talking about some of our favourite subjects again. This time it’s our observations of the political left and right.
Are their criticisms of each other similar? Or are there differences in the way they try and take each other down.
And what about the centrists again – are they the moderate, evidence following bunch they like to make out, are they as ideological as the rest of them, or are they actually the most stuck in their ways?

2020-04-3051 minSounding BoardAre Today’s Socialists Any Different?In this episode, Andrew asks whether today’s socialists, who try very hard to distance themselves from the socialists of the past, are really any different?
What are today’s socialists promising that yesterday’s didn’t promise in the past? And are their methods any different? If not, why should we expect any different outcomes?
Nic then asks if we can apply the same logic to centrists. To do this, we discuss the different types of centrists, and ask whether you can have a hard and a soft centrist, and what distinguishes them.
We also...

We discuss whether this kind of law making can ever work, and whether centralised health provision by the state produces anything other than problems.
Will the NHS ever introduce modern methods of healing such as the use of Oxygen, as used in the private sector?
Was the rush to build new ventilators really necessary now that some clever medical thinking is...
2020-04-2435 minSounding BoardOur NHS – Operation Human ShieldIn another Lockdown edition, we talk about Boris’s message to the public on leaving the hospital, and how he’s positioning himself as not just the ultimate centrist, but the ultimate NHS Tory.
Just how much of GDP will be taken up by the NHS in the future?
Will the government’s handling of the pandemic mean that Labour are a shoe in at the next election? Or are any new labour leaders just filling a vacancy and nothing more.
Can Operation: Human Shield last long enough to allow some new ventilators to be...
2020-04-221h 04Sounding BoardCOVID-19: The Economy, The New Laws and The Libertarian OptionIn the second of our locked down podcasts, we discuss (as expected) the latest news around COVID-19.
We start by differentiating between SARS-COV-2 (The latest coronavirus from China) and COVID-19 (the respiratoty disease caused by the virus) before moving on to the economy and the effects it has had, and will have on our lives in the future.
We then discuss the new laws that have just been put in place and how overzealous police forces are taking it upon themselves to enforce more than the laws themselves.
Finally, we chat about what...
2020-04-141h 03Sounding BoardRegulation: Changing attitudes and Unintended ConsequencesIn the first of our lockdown editions, we focus on regulation.
Are we seeing a change in attitudes towards regulation? As swathes of regulations and licences are suspended or temporarily rescinded due to Covid-19, are people finally realising that regulation can be a bad thing? Even though draconian restrictions on movement and business have been brought in, supposedly to deal with the pandemic, are we showing that regulations get in the way of business and cause more harm than good?
We also talk about the unintended consequences of the state creating rules and regulations before...
2020-04-1357 minSounding BoardCovid-19 State Expansion, Everyone’s a Right Winger and Panic Buying BaileysOur last recording before the lockdown, we explore Commander Sunak’s budget-busting spending pledges in reaction to the Coronavirus, and whether no one is a Libertarian in a pandemic, or conversely everyone is.
With the lockdown rules about to be announced, we explain how the government’s response is an entirely right wing one, and why the left wing opposition waved through the budget – no questions asked.
We explore the politics of post-Covid-19, and how Boris can become the Ultimate Centrist off the back of all this spending.
How important is democracy? Should you be...
2020-04-0600 minSounding BoardAre Humans Instinctively Collectivist?In this edition, Nic asks whether human beings inherently want to collectivise.
We ask the further questions: If this is indeed the case, is it built in? Or is it the result of indoctrination?
We mull over what collectivism really means, and if it’s compatible with a libertarian society.
We then talk about collectivisation in action, with examples of public sector contracts, before talking about how failing (and, in particular, failing quickly) can help businesses. Something that is absent from state bureaucracies.

2020-03-2031 minSounding BoardDifficult Questions for LibertarianismLibertarianism isn’t an endpoint for how society should operate. It’s a beginning. How a libertarian society should operate isn’t known. Indeed, because of its inherent freedom, many competing ways would probably exist.
Because of this, libertarianism has some tough questions to tackle. Whilst we don’t claim to have all the answers, we never shy away from asking the tough questions. In this edition, we ask ourselves about some difficult moral conundrums.

Would it be simple and maybe cliché and just privatise the NHS, or would you want to abolish state education?
How about the way we pay tax? Or how we deal with private property?
These are just some of the examples we talk about this week, as we get into some “what if” scenarios about our pet project of trying to shrink the size of government.
The discussion then turns to wheth...
2020-03-061h 02Sounding BoardLabour Leadership Lunacy, Unelected Political Influences and Project Fear Failed PredictionsThis week we start by discussing the current crop of Labour Leadership contenders. We take apart their views on transgender sex offenders and whether having Labour members influence military policy might not be such a great idea.
We then move on to political influence in general. What is and is not ok? How insulated should the Prime Minister be?
Finally, we discuss Mark Carney and his failed Brexit predictions. We ask the question: How can someone who can’t even predict his own actions in known circumstances ever be trusted to predit anything ever again?...
2020-02-2852 minSounding BoardRigged Elections and Whether the Right is a ThreatOn this our 50th edition, Andrew puts to Nic a thought experiment where a general election is rigged in order to get freedom lovers in power.
Would that be a good thing? What are the moral implications? Should outcomes matter more than methods?
This leads us onto whether the political right are a threat any more and whether we should only be afraid of the left taking control of the levers of government.
Finally, what of the terms “far left” and “far right”? Are they used appropriately in the legacy media and corporate press?

2020-02-201h 01Sounding BoardLabels, Tribalism and Rejecting DefinitionsDo you hate being labelled? Nic certainly does, and in this edition he explains why he rejects being put into categories, and his squeamishness over membership of tribes.
Whether its atheist, liberal or even libertarian – we discuss whether there is any label that fits our outlook on the world, and lament that all the definitions we could associate with have been hijacked, mis-defined or were even invented by the other side.
Does a term get watered down if its over used, as has racism and fascism in recent years?

2020-01-2938 minSounding BoardSocialism: What If The Labour Party Had Won?Even though the Conservative Party won a comfortable majority in the December 2019 UK General Election, it’s still worth talking about what life would have been like under Jeremy Corbyn’s socialist Labour Party.
What would happen when the economic policies of nationalisation, massive spending and capital controls started yielding truly negative results? Would the Labour Party move towards the centre ground of politics again, or double down on more state ownership?

~ Geralt of Rivia
The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski
In this first edition of 2020, Nic talks about his Christmas break of watching a load of TV, and how it’s made him want to rant about wokeness.
From the film Mary Queen of Scots, and it’s jarring historical inaccuracies to BBC’s His Dark Materials, which is just plain bad, we talk about what you should and...
2020-01-1046 minSounding BoardCherán, Mexico – How One Town Expelled The StateIn 2011 the residents of a small municipality in Mexico rose up against politicians, the police and illegal loggers associated with the drug cartel La Familia Michoacana. Expelling the corruption and driving those responsible from the town, the crime rate in Cherán has dropped off a cliff.
What can we learn from their unique example? Do you really need the state?
Is centralised control really the best way of achieving any kind of good outcomes?
Or is decentralisation and self control the way forward?

We may be relieved, but is the result actually bittersweet?

We discuss the latest YouGov MRP (whatever that stands for…), trends amongst other polls and the state of the current crop of political parties.
Just how close do we think the result will be? Will we be heading for a strong Tory majority? Or will we face another hung parliament? Are we really in a time of unprecedented political turmoil?

We talk about whether voting matters in a “safe seat”, and whether we have been unwittingly encouraging others to vote on twitter by pointing out how dangerous the Labour Party policies are.
Should Nic hold his nose and vote Tory to stop the Communists? Where do you draw the line with Socialism? Should you always vote for the least Socialist party?

Why are they all so similar? Why is it so hard to tell the difference, these days? Is any party doing anything new?

Or will the Conservatives desire to spend, spend, spend, cause them to look like Labour Lite?
After writing this blog post before there was a general election set, has anything changed?
We review Boris’s first campaign video and discuss whether this is all very smart politics, or if by shifting the Overton window ever statewards without making practical and moral cases for shrinking the state and getting out of our lives, it...

So what has changed since then, and do people born after this moment have different sensibilities when it comes to who the “bad guys” are?
We discuss whether terrorism was the replacement of communism as that perceived enemy, and how it impacts popular culture, and today’s political debate.

Why are we in the situation we are in? Why are we having a General Election at all?
In this edition, Andrew and Nic discuss the craziness of the last couple of weeks in UK politics and that we have finally arrived at an early General Election.
Is it good for Boris and Tories, or are we about to see Jo Swinson swept to power on a tide of remain?

Could it be done quickly? What would be the consequences, and should we start with something small first… like the NHS.

Does it play into their hands if we arrest the protesters, as George Monbiot orchestrated this afternoon?

What are the differences between a formal and natural language? What’s the importance of context in our speech and communication?
Do our MPs go too far with words like “surrender” and “betrayal”?
We make predictions of where this may all end, and if we are seeing the turning point against woke culture.

Is the centre ground really the safe area furthest from the two dominant authoritarian ideologies of the 20th century, or merely a cherry picked, statist mix of the two; dressed up to sound reasonable and measured?
From critiquing Rory Stewart’s centrist “bow” to whether or not people have abandoned ideologies, we discuss if political centrism is really that benign and perhaps the modern, accepted forms of statism can be countered without being branded an extremist.

In this edition, we look at whether certain organisations and people are more “Left” or “Right” wing (or a bit of both), rather than just looking at government policies, like we did the first time.
Will you agree with our determinations? How right wing or left wing are you based on our definitions? Does it change how you think about the political spectrum...

Remainists are naturally going crazy, and talking of constitutional outrage.
But what does it actually mean for Brexit on 31 October? Is there time for fast-tracked, Bercow-enabled law that would either revoke Article 50, extend the deadline, or somehow prevent a “no deal”? What about passing a law that would stop prorogation itself? Is there even time left now in the parliamentary session?
We discuss all this and the finer details of the Fixed...

We discuss gaming culture, and whether the terminology is creeping into political life, how Andrew feels like we’ve been brainwashed into thinking the game Monopoly is really capitalism, and Nic names the first recipient of the Chuka Umunna Award.
And over a whisky or two, we talk about how Brexity the new Boris Johnson ca...

We consider what capitalism means, we try to define it in a moral, meaningful way, before finally asking ourselves if it needs a new term altogether. One not created by its enemies. Valueism?
