Military Matters: Episode 6

Military Matters: Episode 6

Author: Alternate Current Radio May 7, 2026 Duration: 1:10:03
Brian Gerrish and Charles Malet discuss the reluctance of young men and women to 'fight for their country' and examine reasons for why this might be.
They also analyse the extraordinary relationship between the British Government and the state of Israel and how that relationship affects the UK Armed Forces involved in current global conflicts.
Also discussed is the pressure on special forces soldiers and veterans in light of the arrest of Australian soldier Ben Roberts-Smith for war crimes.
The processes to procure munitions off the open market, and how these have changed the nature of corporate control over the battle space, is also part of this wide-ranging discussion.

Hosted by Mike Robinson and Brian Gerrish, UK Column Radio offers a distinct perspective on global events, anchored from Britain. This daily podcast, produced by Alternate Current Radio, moves beyond the standard news cycle to examine the underlying political, economic, and social forces shaping international headlines. Each episode features in-depth analysis and discussion, focusing on how decisions made in corridors of power translate into real-world consequences for citizens. The conversations are detailed and evidence-driven, appealing to listeners who prefer a more forensic approach to current affairs. You'll hear a consistent focus on themes of governance, media narrative, and national sovereignty, all framed within a context that challenges mainstream reporting. The tone is serious and engaged, built on the premise that a deeper understanding of news requires connecting disparate events into a coherent picture.
