An Evolving Man PodcastHome Alone vs UK Boarding School Culture: The Psychology of Separation | Piers CrossThis week I rewatched Home Alone — and realised it can be viewed as a surprisingly powerful study of child development, attachment, and the psychology of separation.Kevin is eight years old — an age that matters deeply in the UK context, because it has historically been an age when many children began boarding school. In this short reflection, I explore key moments in the film through a boarding-school lens, drawing on the work of Joy Schaverien and Nick Duffell.We reflect on:why “not knowing the basics” at eight is devel...

Piers Morgan Uncensored"Why Are You GAY?" Piers Morgan of Uganda + Pope's Brother Makes SHOCKING Confession | 2025 ReviewIn what could be described as a fever dream of an episode, Piers Morgan Uncensored sums up 2025 with a wild assortment of topics and guests.
There’s a lot to argue about over Christmas dinner this year - we got a new American Pope and a new US President, who began the year with a ‘Revolution of Common Sense’ - and ended it in a MAGA civil war.

2025-12-051h 00Piers Morgan Uncensored“Something WRONG With You!” Piers Morgan Clashes With ‘Hateful Clown’ Running For Congress In TexasThe scale of the Minnesota fraud scandal is jaw-dropping by anyone’s measure, with more than a billion dollars illicitly drained from welfare programmes, mostly by members of the large Somali community.
Some of the early attempts to investigate this mass fraud were reportedly silenced over fears of racism - and we’ve seen this story before, with the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal in the UK. But just as it’s absurd to argue that every British Muslim man is a sex offender, it’s clearly wrong to say that every Somali in the US is a thief.
