In this episode, Harrison hosts Neema Parvini, also known as Academic Agent, to discuss the alleged rise of a post-woke Left, the meta-political myths of the Boomer generation, and how the Right wins for real. Are conservative-minded Westerners alive to the special challenges of this century? And what can we do to hasten that awakening? Produced by The European Conservative, The Forge is a monthly programme which aims to revive the art of Socratic dialogue and intellectual combat at a time when, across the legacy institutions of the Western world, vulgar sophistry and intolerant conformism appear to reign supreme. Presented by Harrison Pitt, a senior editor at The European Conservative, The Forge will be a place for thoroughgoing discussion and fearless debate with the world's finest thinkers on a range of subjects, from philosophy and current affairs to history and culture. As the name suggests, it should also enable us to build up our armoury and sharpen our weapons as we engage in a war for our civilisation. 0:00 - Intro 0:15 - Monologue 0:53 - Is Wokeness Being Put Away or Soft-Pedalled? 17:41 - Why Our Rulers Seem Incapable of Self-Correction 28:04 - How the Right Wins For Real 32:48 - Conservatives Fear Wielding Power and Blaspheming the ‘Boomer Truth’ Regime 47:06 - Rupert Lowe vs. Nigel Farage

Viktor Orbán is leading a new political alliance in Europe, uniting Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia against Brussels’ reckless pro-Ukraine spending plan. With Robert Fico and Andrej Babiš as potential partners, the emerging “Visegrad 3” could reshape EU power dynamics and block future aid to Kyiv. As Brussels pushes for endless war and sanctions, Orbán’s camp demands dialogue, peace, and sovereignty. This marks a turning point in Europe’s struggle between technocratic globalism and democratic nationalism. #Orbán #EU #Ukraine #Politics #Europe Read more on this story here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/orban-seeks-to-revive-visegrad-alliance/
Can Orbán’s Visegrad Revival Stop the EU’s Ukraine Agenda?
As Britain armed Ukraine “in solidarity,” its defence giants turned war into profit. QinetiQ, a key Ministry of Defence contractor, saw its revenues soar thanks to new drone and weapons contracts directly tied to Boris Johnson’s policies. Internal documents reveal how political donations, foreign trips, and private consultancy deals aligned perfectly with QinetiQ’s expansion—and how Britain’s moral crusade became a lucrative business. Behind every pledge of support for Kyiv lies a question: who really benefited from the war? #Ukraine #QinetiQ #BorisJohnson #Defence #Politics Read more on this story here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/analysis/qinetiq-the-british-defence-firm-that-profited-from-the-ukraine-war/

In Budapest, a new documentary Taking Over has ignited controversy across Europe. The film exposes what critics call the “pseudo rule of law” under Poland’s liberal Tusk government—accused of persecuting conservative politicians, silencing media, and subverting judicial independence. Former Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro and Hungarian Minister Gergely Gulyás discussed how Brussels and Berlin back Tusk’s regime while punishing sovereign governments like Hungary. The debate highlights a growing rebellion against EU hypocrisy, as Central Europe warns that “rule of law” has become a political tool to crush dissent. #Poland #EU #Politics #Brussels #Freedom Read more: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/from-warsaw-to-budapest-conservatives-warn-of-pseudo-rule-of-law-in-poland/

Migration has become the defining issue of the Dutch elections. Deputy Prime Minister Mona Keijzer warns that Islamic culture is eroding freedom in the Netherlands, while Geert Wilders calls October 29 “D-Day” for the nation’s future. As protests erupt across Dutch towns and right-wing parties surge in the polls, voters face a choice that could reshape Europe’s stance on migration, culture, and national identity. #Netherlands #Migration #Politics #Europe #Elections Read more: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/migration-takes-center-stage-in-dutch-election-battle/

The European Court of Auditors has exposed how Brussels has been funnelling billions of euros to NGOs and lobbying groups with little to no transparency. Between 2021 and 2023, the European Commission handed out €7.4 billion to organisations pushing ideological agendas on climate, gender, and migration. Auditors warned that the funding trail is “confusing, fragmented, and inaccessible” — and that Brussels is treating public money like private property. As trust in EU institutions collapses, who is really benefiting from Europe’s tax money? #Europe #EU #Politics #Transparency #Corruption Read more: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/european-court-of-auditors-exposes-brussels-opaque-ngo-funding/

Portugal has voted to ban full-face coverings in public, joining a growing list of European nations that say the burqa and niqab restrict women’s rights and threaten public security. The new law—championed by the right-wing Chega party and supported by centrists—has divided the country, sparking fierce debate about religion, identity, and national values. As France, Switzerland, and now Portugal tighten restrictions, Europe faces a defining question: is this a defence of freedom, or the erosion of it? #Portugal #Politics #Europe #Religion Read more here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/portugal-backs-bill-banning-full-face-veils-in-public/
The Burqa Debate Reignites: Portugal Votes to Ban Face Coverings
Western media outlets are portraying released Palestinian prisoners as victims or heroes—but the truth tells a darker story. Many of those freed under the latest ceasefire deal were convicted terrorists, murderers, and bombers responsible for killing Israeli civilians. The BBC, Reuters, and The Guardian have all come under fire for emotional reporting that omits these facts, misleading millions of viewers. When convicted killers are humanised as “detainees,” journalism crosses a moral line—and truth becomes the first casualty of war. #Israel #MediaBias #Terrorism #MiddleEast #BBC Read more here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/those-palestinian-prisoners-were-no-heroes/

The European Council’s decision to remove tariffs on Ukrainian agricultural exports has triggered anger across Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary, with critics calling it a betrayal of European farmers. Cheaper Ukrainian grain, meat, and honey threaten EU producers bound by stricter labour and environmental laws. MEPs warn Brussels is sacrificing its own citizens to fund Ukraine’s integration and risking Europe’s food sovereignty. #EUPolitics #Ukraine #Farmers #Trade #Brussels Read more here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/crush-zone-polish-mp-says-eu-sacrificing-farmers-to-help-ukraine/

The EU’s new Jutland Declaration could mark the end of online anonymity. Ministers are calling for “effective age verification” across all digital services under the guise of child protection. But critics warn it paves the way for mass digital surveillance, EU internet regulation, and identity verification just to access YouTube, Snapchat, or Telegram. With the Digital Fairness Act on the horizon, Europe faces a choice between privacy and control. #DigitalFreedom #InternetCensorship #EUControl #OnlinePrivacy #SurveillanceState Read more here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/jutland-declaration-informal-agreement-eu-ministers-online-protection-children/

In this episode of The Forge, Harrison hosts a debate on Margaret Thatcher's life and legacy to mark the Iron Lady's centenary. Lord Charles Moore believes that Thatcher saved Britain through principled leadership and urgent economic reforms. William Clouston counters that, in treating Britain too much like a profit-seeking enterprise, she did abiding damage to social cohesion and national identity. Who is correct?

In this episode, Harrison pays a visit to the former Conservative politician Michael Gove, now the editor of The Spectator, at the magazine’s Old Queen Street office. They joust over the Tories’ track record in government, the threat posed to the West by Islam’s demographic expansion, and whether Kemi Badenoch should make way for Rupert Lowe to lead the Conservative Party.

More than seven million migrants remain outside the EU labour market, exposing the failure of decades of pro-migration promises. According to the European Commission’s latest ESDE report, migrant unemployment is double the EU average, with cultural traditions, poor language skills, and education gaps blocking integration. Gender divides are stark, with over half of migrant women out of work, while children from migrant backgrounds face an education crisis. Despite these setbacks, Brussels continues to insist migration is the solution.

Europe’s Migration Promise vs Harsh Reality: Millions Still Jobless
The European Commission has unveiled its toughest package yet against Israel, proposing to suspend tariff preferences worth €5.8 billion, sanction key Israeli ministers, and freeze bilateral cooperation programs. Brussels says the measures target Netanyahu’s government—not the Israeli people—but deep divisions among EU member states make approval uncertain. This video breaks down the trade risks, political fallout, and what it means for Europe’s relationship with Israel in the middle of the Gaza war. #Israel #EU #Sanctions #Brussels #Netanyahu #EuropeanConservative

Over one million French citizens signed Philippe de Villiers’ petition demanding a referendum on immigration, reaching the milestone in just ten days. Villiers argues that immigration is no longer one issue among many, but the central question shaping France’s future.

Emmanuel Macron is under fire after reports claim he privately told Jeffrey Sachs that “the war is NATO’s fault.” The French president, who has long styled himself as Europe’s defender against Russia, is accused of saying one thing in public while admitting another in private. The allegations raise serious questions about Macron’s honesty, NATO’s role in the conflict, and the credibility of EU leadership. #Macron #NATO #Ukraine #Politics #France Read more here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/macron-privately-says-war-in-ukraine-is-natos-fault/

Ursula von der Leyen is facing an unprecedented political storm in Brussels, with three no-confidence motions in just three months. From trade deals to Gaza, critics on both the Left and Right accuse her of betraying European interests. While these motions may fail, they reveal a deep erosion of her authority and growing instability within the European Union. #VonDerLeyen #EU #Politics #Europe #Brussels Read here now:https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/von-der-leyen-no-confidence-motions-left-right-eroding-authority/
Von der Leyen Under Siege: Three No-Confidence Votes in 3 Months
The murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte train has shocked the public and raised urgent questions about justice, mental health, and public safety. Her killer, Decarlos Brown Jr., was “known to authorities” with a long criminal record and schizophrenia, yet he was left free to attack. This tragedy echoes cases in the UK and Germany where dangerous men were ignored until it was too late. Why are Western governments failing to protect the innocent? #Justice #Crime #PublicSafety #MentalHealth #Europe Read more here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/iryna-zarutska-murder-authorities-responsible-liberal-elites-victimhood-minorities-mainstream-media-silence/
The Murder of Iryna Zarutska: When Justice Fails the Innocent
For the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, a French prime minister has lost a parliamentary confidence vote. François Bayrou was forced to resign after 364 MPs rejected him, leaving President Emmanuel Macron facing a political earthquake. With France drowning in debt, stagnation, and public disillusionment, Bayrou’s defeat highlights a deeper crisis of governance. Now Macron must choose a replacement—but without a majority in the National Assembly, the instability will continue. #France #Politics #Macron #Bayrou #NationalAssembly Read more here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/french-prime-minister-loses-confidence-vote-in-parliament/
