Is the UK Turning Into a Police State?
About this episode
From sweeping policing powers to massive street protests, it seems Keir Starmer's government has lost the plot. Has Britain crossed the line? And is there anything Brits themselves can do about it?
In this special episode, we're joined by Jonam Ross, a British citizen who escaped a coercive cult and went on to study behavioural science, psychological warfare, and hypnosis to understand how the human mind can be hijacked, and how people can free themselves from manipulation and ideological capture.
Now, Jonam runs The Fractal Effect, using his insights into influence to help values-driven leaders wield ethical influence with precision and turn good ideas into cultural movements.
