Back to EpisodesThe Truth About Empire They Don’t Want You To Hear - Oxford Prof Nigel Biggar
Description
Nigel Biggar is one of Oxford's most eminent professors of ethics, yet he found himself at the center of a firestorm for simply suggesting that British history contains reasons for both "shame and pride."
From mass online petitions to having a major book deal canceled by junior staff who found his work "problematic," Nigel’s story is a chilling example of what happens when one man stands against the institutional machine.

In this episode, we dive into the facts the "elites" don't want you to know—from the global reality of empire to the suppressed truth about Britain’s leading role in abolishing slavery. Is the current wave of "self-hatred" a precondition for revolution? And what happens to a society that forgets who it is?
