The Current Thing

Today I recorded a special, ultra-topical episode of The Current Thing with Basil the Great, whom you will have seen on X with his many viral videos and other content.

We discuss:
-The battle between Restore Britain and Reform UK
-Why Matt Goodwin is wrong to attack Restore on grounds of ‘racism’
-Whether this election is the ‘last chance’ for the country
-If Restore Britain is too vague on policy
-Whether Restore is ‘playing identity politics’
-If Rupert Lowe will need to change his economic views
-The future of Starmer and Labour
-Whether the Tories will survive
-If the Greens are a real threat
-Whether Restore Britain can build a team of ‘elite talent’
And lots more!

On this week’s episode of The Current Thing I am joined by author Joseph Loconte to talk about his new book, The War for Middle-earth, which focuses on how J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were shaped by the two great wars of the 20th century.

We discuss:
-How Lewis and Tolkien preserved their belief in heroism and honour even after suffering through war
-How the West became disillusioned from the 1930s onwards
-What Lewis would have made of the current political predicament in Western nations
-Tolkien’s support of Franco in the Spanish Civil War
-How to reclaim our ‘civilisational confidence’
-Whether Lewis would have eventually converted to Catholicism, as some claim
-How Lewis’s work compares to Tolkien’s in significance and quality
-The lost art of male friendship
-Why Joseph converted from Catholic to Protestant
And lots more!
