Paul English LIVE 121125 ,Massive Horsepower, Minor Macaroons: Engines, Empire, and the Jury of Your Peers

In this lively Episode 116 of Paul English Live, I kick off the “Massive Horsepower (and Chocolate Macaroon)” edition with a whirlwind of stories from a busy week, including a serendipitous meetup with a like‑minded local named Tim, talk of vintage speed machines, amphibious car speculation, and a delightfully over‑the‑top Monty Python‑style passage about a 6,000‑horsepower beast. Eric von Essex joins to riff on blokes, big engines, and the lost verve of early motoring—leading us into a broader look at suppressed engineering—compressed‑air cars, the GEET fuel reactor, and how innovation gets smothered by regulation, big oil, and bureaucratic culture. We then widen the lens to digital ID creep, facial recognition, overreach of the administrative state, and the need for calm, organized community action (from food hubs to citizen pressure) rather than fear‑porn doom loops.Hour two brings guest Jeff Roberts of ARMREG to discuss the Holocaust Encyclopedia project—its scholarly intent, contributors, and the importance of free inquiry into history amidst propaganda and censorship. We segue through British political culture (Fabian Society, institutional capture), Churchill lore, and how labeling shuts down debate. In hour three, we dig into trial by jury versus “leave it to the experts,” arguing for fully informed juries as a bulwark of liberty; everyday over‑policing via parking schemes; and practical, peaceful resistance by organizing, boycotting, and reclaiming local control. We close with some musical palate cleansers, a nod to farming and foraging (nettles, dandelions, chufa), and an invitation for listeners to get involved, think clearly, and keep their sense of humor intact.
