The Richie Allen Show

Richie Allen with unique and often hilarious analysis of the day's top news stories.

On today's show: A jazz tutor has been kicked out of one of Britain’s leading conservatoires for questioning critical race theory and saying that organisations like Black Lives Matter are divisive.

Martin Speake said his life was “destroyed” after students at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich, south-east London, boycotted his lessons because of his opinions . One student said he didn't "feel safe." 

The renowned saxophonist was cancelled for claiming there was no evidence of endemic racial inequality in British jazz and that critical race theory was dangerous.

Martin is taking the conservatoire to an employment tribunal for constructive dismissal, discrimination and harassment. He shares his story on today's Richie Allen Show. This is very important. Share widely.

On today's show: Keir Starmer on borrowed time but Richie explains why it doesn't matter. Nigel Farage wants to end working from home. He's a bit late, isn't he? Welsh University students decline Q and A with Reform's Sarah Pochin. Is public debating dead in the water? French government to write to all 29 year-olds to tell them it's time to have more babies. Plus: Richie explains how the 24 hour news channels really work and how they serve the technocracy.

15 years ago, Victoria Haigh's daughter told her that her father was sexually abusing her. Incredibly, the girl was taken away from mum and her father was handed sole custody of her. Victoria was accused of coaching the child and being an emotionally abusive mother. A couple of years later, she was sent to prison for breaching a no-contact order after accidentally bumping into her daughter at a service station. Victoria was pregnant at the time, with her second daughter Sapphire.

She and Sapphire spent six months in a mother-and-baby unit at New Hall prison near Wakefield. After her release they moved to France where Victoria returned to her career as horse-trainer. In 2021 she was handed bombshell information. She learned that UK Athletics had banned her ex-husband for life for grooming a minor! He had remarried in February 2015 but weeks after the wedding he began sending explicit messages on Facebook to a schoolgirl he had met at Doncaster Athletic Club. The girl reported the situation to her PE teacher, who in turn informed the safeguarding teacher at her school.

Victoria has launched a YouTube channel 

It's called Mother's Nature  - How state family court systems remove children and silence mothers. 

She has also written to MP's - including Rupert Lowe - to offer her advice on grooming gangs and why local authorities are failing children.

On today's show Richie interviews...The Missus! Yes! She has been namechecked thousands of times on the show but Caroline or "El Froggo" as she has become known to Richie's listeners, has never appeared on the show. This is the first time she has ever been interviewed.

She is a remarkable woman. As a teenager she played national schools basketball while playing clarinet in a philharmonic orchestra. She also ran a successful bar in Spain for several years. These days she is an accountant for a commercial bank. 

Caroline's passion is studying and researching philosophers - historical and latter day - who delve into the origins of human existence. Why are we here? Where did we come from? Where are we going? Caroline shares her own personal experiences as a way of explaining what she has come to believe. This is a fascinating and soulful conversation. And yes, there will be a part two.
