In this lively edition of Paul English Live (Episode 116), I kick off with some seasonal banter, a macaroon, and the promise of big horsepower. Eric von Essex joins me for a rollicking tour through vintage engineering, land‑speed legends, and the allure of compressed‑air cars—plus a dramatic reading inspired by the Monty Python Big Red Book. We riff on forgotten innovations, media fear cycles, digital ID and facial recognition, and why genuine solutions so often get buried. Listener Paul calls in to unpack Paul Pantone’s GEET fuel reactor, sparking a wider chat about citizen ingenuity and bottom‑up organising. In hour two, publisher Jeff Roberts drops by to discuss historical inquiry, propaganda, and his team’s forthcoming work on The Holocaust Encyclopedia, leading to a broader conversation on free expression, labelling, and how power manages narratives—from Orwell, Brendan Bracken and the Fabian Society, to Churchill’s circle. We round out with a spirited defence of trial by jury, common law, and fully‑informed juries (contra Michael Portillo’s technocratic take), everyday over‑policing via policy, practical food resilience (including the humble chufa/tiger nut), and a couple of cracking tunes from Cooper Alan. Same time next week—bring your questions and your curiosity.
