  • Christmas Special 2024 P1
    Dec 26 2024


    In this, the first of a two part series, co-pilots Pearson and Halligan dig into the data files for some of their most explosive voyages on the rocket of right thinking, from 2024.


    There’s been no shortage of madness on the rocket over the past few months, the peak of which was definitely when co-pilot Pearson spearheaded a free speech campaign in wake of a shocking visit to her home on the morning of Remembrance Sunday by Essex police.


    There’s also been an abundance of politicians that have graced the rocket this year, and back in October your co-pilots were lucky enough to interview former Conservative Prime Minister, Liz Truss, to get her take on Labour's Budget.

    Christmas is coming but the madness on the rocket of right thinking shows no signs of slowing down. It’s time to strap in for the last voyage of 2024.


    In light of the latest inflation figures Liam gives his review of Labour's economic strategy which he feels has ‘talked down’ the economy.


    And co-pilot Pearson delivers some strong opinions on the latest approach to governing non crime hate incidents in this country.


    On this very special festive addition of Planet Normal the rocket is joined by none other than ‘Angela Rayner’....it’s a no brainer!

  • Cultural Sensitivities Can Cost Lives
    Dec 12 2024

    A sombre journey to Planet Normal today, as Allison and Liam learn that the father of Sara Sharif has been found guilty of the 10-year-old’s murder just before recording. Co-pilot Pearson decries that a little girl could have been a victim to such violence in modern Britain, and what it says about integration in our country.


    Plus they discuss the events of Syria, and co-pilot Halligan notes that the 'tectonic plates of Western politics is shifting' as mainstream European politicians use events as a chance to call for Syrians in their nations to return home.


    Boarding the rocket of right-thinking this week are co-founders of savetheparish.com, the impressively named Admiral Sir James Burnell-Nugent, and journalist Emma Thompson. Sir James and Emma give a passionate pitch for the humble parish church, and why bureaucracy is at fault for the many closures.


    Plus your co-pilots dip into the mail bag for more tales of free speech fighters at work.
