About this episode
Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin pulls no punches as he analyses JD Vance's excoriating speech to a group of European leaders at a security summit in Munich. In a reversal of expectation, Vance claimed that the greatest threat to European security was not Russia but was the internal degradation of European society itself. He also took aim at the attack on free speech in the form of the monitoring of ostensible thought crime in Britain. Rev Jamie considers his assertions and contrasts them with the rebuttal given by Labour Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds who also claims to be speaking from a Christian perspective.
After that viewers can partake of a full-length interview Rev Jamie gave for the Thinking Slow podcast on the subject of his new book The Great Return: Why Only a Restoration of Christianity Can Save Western Civilisation.
