Just signed up as an SDP member after watching a few videos and party conference talks - very refreshing to see a party with intellectual depth and moral vision.
Emma Webb is a rising star, whose work is very much appreciated by an increasing number of ordinary citizens in the UK... and abroad! Thanks, Emma!
Yep, she is often on GB News and Talk Radio, really enjoy listening to her views, she joins a growing number of quality young British commentators.
@@jasonkingshott2971 That's true...
She is vehemently proud of her working class roots,which is admirable.
This has been going on since the 90s. Emma tries to place it within discourses which is absolutely right, the word ‘woke’ is quite vile.
We need an Emma Webb in America. Intelligent, articulate, courageous and great deal of class. Well done.
You can't have her....she's ours! 😏
WOW ... what a woman ... intelligent , eloquent, feminine and gorgeous ! ... i'm a total fan !
Completely agree
👍
Steady on Pablo!
@@teresahall8762 Was i wrong?

@@teresahall8762 oh yea ... she def gets the blood pumping !
She's excellent.
She's always great value on Plank of The Week.
She's on The Culture Forum alot.
Always intelligent, well-spoken and a pleasure to watch. Well done, Emma!
Agreed.
As someone who voted SDP /Liberal Alliance in the early 80s its very interesting to see the SDPs evolution into a pro Brexit , culturally conservative and libertarian centre party . Especially because my own politics have evolved into that space. I am impressed by just how many interesting and impressive thinkers either belong to the party or are happy to speak to its members. David Goodhart, John Lloyd, Neil Oliver , Brendan O Neill are examples. However, we come up against the problem of the 2 party system again. I have reservations about PR and the ideological fudges it generates, but I want the SDP to have as much influence as possible. Perhaps its role will remain that of an ideas generator. Its certainly dong a great job at in that role at the moment.
Just found this channel for the first time. As a conservative (small c) and I was impressed by William Clouston - already a fan of Emma . Certainly agree with your comments, especially re PR. We really need to support the SDP. It is only in the last 12 months that I became aware that the SDP were still on the go, probably due to the fact that from mid 70s to late 80s I was working abroad.
@@ChiefWizard666 I was here the whole time. I think lots of people missplaced the SDP.
The New Discourses website and podcast describes everything from this chat in great detail.
Hi Emma, not allowed to comment on the Telegraph videos, but couldn't agree with you more about the Batley teacher, it's quite disgusting how he has been treated. Politicians are gutless bsatards.
If I was an English language teacher and wanted an examples of how to speak English properely this would be it. Almost a complete absence of .... " like" " ya know" " uuuummm" " I mean" etc.
She's not posh just very bright and normal.
i dont like the way she says Bath.
Too right mate! (Litle joke there).My bugbear is the inability to distinguish "f" and "th". I once asked someone "Do you mean "free" or "three" ?" He replied ""Free! One two free"!
P.S. I find myself distracted by her breast showing.
If you were an English language teacher you would understand there isn’t really a ‘proper’ way to speak English
@@wavell14 Yere you are spot on there bro...my old English teacher taught me nothink me homies couldn't teach me..know what I is sayin? English like ain't even needed anymore now we got Google translate init. As long as you keep it real like and don't disrespect me we is cool.
@@chrisnieto5547 it’s funny that you think you’re intelligent yet have zero grasp of linguistics & the concept of descriptivism
Beauty plus critical thinking...interesting combo.
And a wonderful one.
@MsMissy In politics image ALWAYS matters. In fact they do in most things where public is involved.
Edit: Or perhaps you meant " looks shouldn't matter".
Come on SDP let's push the message and get some real support to get rid of this awful government.
No to economic leftism or social leftism
@@wavell14 yes to a politics that is practical and doesn’t make every decision ideological
@@theodoremcalindon socialists for helicopters
@@theodoremcalindon
So you mean get rid of the socialists.
Social democrats my arsenal a CON is a CON
✌️❤️
Emma’s so cute 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

William. You used their language here again. "Not being able to speak your truth to colleagues".
"Your truth". That's one of the 'woke' ideas. The idea that everyone has their own truth and that truth is not a thing in and of itself!
He should have said : "Not being able to speak your mind", I think. But of course, truth is a thing in and of itself - a concept that profoundly disturbs liars...
It's about slowing down your speech so you dont spout their lingo you've subconsciously (almost said unconsciously) adopted. We have to keep repeating our own words instead of quoting theirs back to them as that's how we lose our language to their rhetoric. Before we know it we cant even remember what we said before using words like "communities", "marginalised" "minorities". Dont let their langauge override ours.
some things are the truth such as objective truth : the earth is round
This girl is really clever. It is quite stunning to witness such widom in a lady that is so young that she still looks like a student.
Thanks, great conversation. A big fan of Emma.
Anyone here after that Telegraph video ...Emma Webb for PM
Thoroughly enjoyed this discussion
Emma, thank you for being present in our difficult media world today, you speak for so many invisible/unrepresented British people. 😊👍❤️
Intersection is not one of their words, it's one of our words, that we have allowed them to dominate!
It’s heartening to hear two people discussing these issues in such a way. This is surely the way forward. The more there are of these conversations the more can be done to mitigate the damage caused to our society. Reason and thought will always carry weight.
Rule 1: Do NOT use the language of the left.
*far left
This adorable woman may well be the most important philosopher i UK today!
I tuned in because I wanted to hear the new face of the SDP. I couldn't follow the discussion at all.

What is meant here by "North sea Protestantism"?
It's the one part of this interview that completely evades me, and Emma's face seems to light up recognising the truth of what that means.
He goes on to describe it as Puritanism. I assume he means the Protestantism found in Scotland, the Netherlands, to some extent Germany, i.e., Presbyterianism, Calvinism.
Pretty girl with brains ❤
Satre is not a postmodernist. He might be a flake, but a postmodernist he ain’t. If you want to win the battle of ideas, you have to take ideas on, and that’s not happening in these discussions. There’s a lot of generalising about “the younger generation” and “the older generation”, a lot of straw-manning and a lot of second-guessing of other people’s motives. The shell of the SDP appears to have repackaged itself - or has been co-opted - by neo-conservatives, and there’s nothing more postmodern than neocon; like Jordan Peterson, everything boils down to the social utility of traditional ideas rather their basis in truth, it instrumentalises Christianity, for example, by making God our creation rather than us his. If our lives become a series of hollowed out rituals, practices and assumptions that we merely cling to because we’re unable to imagine a world without them or because they’re seen as the least-worst way of doing things, then you’re banking your future on something unsustainable. They are judgemental, they see certain ways of thinking and being as being better than others, so in the sense, they’re not po-mo, but they still act as though, that beneath everything, there’s nothing, that meaning is still, ultimately, arbitrary. I want them to take these ideas on and present a worldview that stands up to scrutiny instead of merely demonising the proponents of so-called “wokeness”, which has become a catch-all for any idea, however disparate, which sets itself against established views of the world- which is too easy. It’s all “they”, and not “we” or “I”, which suggests that there’s still an underlying lack of confidence in what the new SDP actually DO believe themselves. The SDP needs to be more than just what it isn’t. I remember watching a discussion betweeen Rod Liddle and Brendan O’Neill immediately after the Brexit vote when there were both understandably euphoric that the majority had stuck two fingers up to the establishment, but they had absolutely no vision for the future and what that “victory” might mean - it was just like the end of the film “The Graduate”.
The speakers spend half of the discussion making those generalisations, take a break to briefly say that it’s about ideas not people, then return to intermittently hitting-the-mark (which is inevitable when you’re going to be so scattergun) but mostly mischaracterising or second-guessing their ideological opponents.
The word “they” gives almost every sentence in this discussion its purpose.
Thank you for your interesting view on this discussion, but would you please mind separate your "essay" with more frequent paragraphs ? It would make it easier to read - hence to understand - particularly for non native speakers like I am.
It is a 'they'. It's not a political party or any other organisation. I'm not here for the SDP but because I need to understand the phenomenon as best as I can. I'm scared for my children. I've taken my ability to freely express myself for granted but my sons aren't. You are analysing the gnat and swallowing the camel.
Who ever got to mic up Emma is one lucky SOB
An outstanding conversation between two intelligent & eloquent individuals.
EMMA WEBB is Brilliant
A very good talk
Dear SDP, I had not idea you were still going (I don't mean that sardonically), but are you against "Woke"?
Yes, they are.
it seems t' me that if you say that you're center left or slightly left of center left that the hard left will forgive you or like you and say he's okay
Hardly. They call us rightwing nazis.
20:00 perfectly put.
Very little new here. Dostoevsky worried about most of this 150 years ago.
History repeats itself. Everybody knows that.
