An affectionate meandering through the things that make England the way she is – from HP Sauce to the Allottment, Aethelstan to the politics of Queuing. With Luke Baxter, Roifield Brown, David Crowther and Fiona Powell trying to make some sense of it all, though rarely succeeding it might be said.

    The English Pub
    2026/06/21

    When you have lost your Inns, drown your empty selves - for you will have lost the last of England."


    That's what Hillaire Belloc, the political activist wrote in the 19th century, and he was right. The Pub and its ancestors have been at the heart of English life for centuries. Once you are there, it doesn't matter where you come from, how old you are, your background or whatever - it's a place everyone can be together and comfortable.

    But pubs are increasingly under threat, with closures every day. We talk about how pubs have changed, from the Mediaeval alewife's cottage to the High Victorian Gin Palace and to the infinite variety of the modern pub.

    So this is our gallop through the history of how pubs have evolved as society changed, what makes English pub different, its role in social life, and why it's so important. Sadly we need to talk about the many challenges facing pubs - and what we can do about it.

  • The Flag of St George

    The Flag of St George
    2026/04/24

    Roifield and I revisit the English National flag - which is something of a live issue. Why is it so contested? Is it a problem? And how do we make it what it should be - an expression of inclusive patriotism that brings people together across all differences of gender, race, faith, age and class.
