We discuss Britain’s decline, Restore, Reform, immigration, national identity, liberal democracy, working-class dignity, debt, inflation, the failure of our institutions, and why Frank believes this is the last chance to save the nation. I push Frank on what it actually means to restore Britain, how you build a big enough tent, why nationhood matters, and how we avoid this ending in conflict. Whatever your politics, Frank has clearly touched a nerve - and I wanted to understand why. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - Reality Is Radicalising People 00:01:01 - Frank’s Viral Week 00:03:28 - Why People Refuse to See Reality 00:06:44 - Feminism, Childcare and Family 00:10:04 - Propaganda in the West 00:16:30 - Factists, Fascists and Utopia 00:21:09 - Liberal Rights and Reality 00:29:59 - What Does Frank Wright Want? 00:36:31 - What Radicalised Frank? 00:44:53 - Reform, Restore and Machine Politics 00:49:04 - Rupert Lowe and “I Don’t Care” 00:52:23 - The Cost of Saying Nothing 00:54:45 - Reform vs Restore 01:00:27 - Is Populism Enough? 01:14:49 - Surrogacy and the Commodification of Life 01:18:38 - Who Really Runs Britain? 01:24:03 - The Cost of Truth 01:27:23 - Are We Finished? 01:33:22 - Why Nationhood Matters 01:38:16 - Working-Class Dignity 01:47:00 - Restore in Makerfield 01:57:22 - Will Frank Wright Become an MP? 02:04:23 - Why Government Can’t Govern 02:18:21 - Debt, Inflation and the Middle Class 02:29:45 - Frank’s Final Warning - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com ›…","meta_description":"Frank Wright joins me after going viral for saying that reality, not extremism, is radicalising people.
