Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comBonfire Night gave us the perfect springboard for a wide-ranging and incendiary conversation in episode 164. I was joined by returning guest Mike Burke and my ever-reliable foil Eric Von Essex as we dug into the history behind Guy Fawkes, the Gunpowder Plot, the King James Bible, Lewes Bonfire traditions, and the bigger constitutional and religious questions that still echo through British life. From James I and the Jesuits to the slow drift of power away from monarch and parliament towards the executive state, we followed a line of argument that challenged the simplified schoolbook version of events and asked what really changed Britain over the centuries.In hour three, Eli James joined us and the discussion widened into usury, banking power, democracy, nationalism, corruption, media narratives, and the long decline of public life on both sides of the Atlantic. It was one of those shows where history, theology, politics and culture all collided, with plenty of sharp observations, dark humour and the usual late-night wandering into the roots of how things got this way.Paul English Live: https://paulenglishlive.com/Food For Thought Radio: https://www.fftradio.com/Paul English on FFT: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/paul-english/Eric Von Essex on FFT: https://www.fftradio.com/djs/eric-von-essex/Fockham Hall on FFT: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/fockham-hall/EURO·FOLK·RADIO: https://eurofolkradio.com/The Global Voice Internet Radio: https://www.theglobalvoice.info/Lewes Bonfire information: https://www.visitlewes.co.uk/information/lewes-bonfireHampton Court Palace: https://www.hrp.org.uk/hampton-court-palace/The Tablet: https://www.thetablet.co.uk/Rulers of Evil by F.
