Calvin Robinson - Has the Church of England Cancelled My Route to Priesthood Because I’m not Woke on Trans?

Calvin Robinson is known to many as a political and social commentator who can regularly be seen and heard on TV, Radio and online but did you know that as a Christian he has felt a calling towards the priesthood in the Church of England? He has been studying hard behind the scenes in his spare time and has now completed this but something unexpected happened.At the very last moment, the powers that be have pulled the plug and ruled that he is not fit to continue his ascension within the C of E. What has Calvin done that is so wrong. Has he rejected his faith? Has he hated instead of loving his neighbour? Has he been dishonest or hypocritical in some way? No. He has simply accepted scripture and sides with truth in the current culture wars. Is it because he says a man is born and man and a woman is born a woman?Is it because he has supported the Conservatives and the Brexit Party in the past?Is it because he is regularly on GB news and across the media giving his traditional views on a wide range of topics? Is this is why the bishops have blocked his path to priesthood? A fascinating interview so join us to hear what Calvin's views are on all this and whether the Church of England should remain as an organ of the state.Calvin Robinson is a popular British political advisor, presenter and commentator. He has been published widely in the media, including GB News, Talk radio, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, the Spectator, and the Daily Express among others. He is a former assistant principal and has consulted for the Department for Education, supporting school leaders across the South East.Born and bred in the East Midlands in England, Calvin is on a crusade to reclaim our country from the woke using truth and common sense while standing up for family, conservative, Christian and British values.Follow Calvin everywhere on social media @calvinrobinsonInterview recorded 27.4.22Audio Podcast version available at ⁣https://heartsofoak.podbean.com/ and all major podcast directories.To sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestreaming platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/connect/ Please like, subscribe & share!

The Week According To . . . Abi Roberts

Abi Roberts is back in the hot seat, ready to share with us what has caught her eye this week online and in the media.Shy and retiring she is not! so expect fireworks as she takes aim at The Mayor of London using the transport system to push LGBT, Midwife students being taught to care for fellas who might just pop a baby out of their penis! We look at the reports that there is a 'significant rise' in cardiac issues for the under 65s in Scotland and what could possibly be causing them, will the BBC, or to give them their full title, The British Biased Corporation retract their lies over vaccine threat in pregnancy? Abi muses over the fact that in the US they plan to give experimental mRNA injections to 6 month old babies and Moderna seeking approval for the jab aimed at under fives, and all the news and media outlets are concerned with is our pitiful and pathetic political leaders and whether they drank a beer or eat some cake.Its not going away, newly re-elected Macron introduces the Digital ID in France and Sajid 'Who Cares' Javid expands the NHS Covid pass for kids here in the UK while in Germany the global vaccine passport is being developed. Is the Social Credit Score heading our way?Abi Roberts is a British stand-up comedian, writer and commentator. Abi became a professional stand-up in 2012, and since then has played some of the biggest clubs across the UK, and had several sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. She became a comedian because she wanted to write her own material and have the freedom to express her worldview – and make thousands of people laugh at the absurdity and wonder of life. Abi does not worship at ‘The Church of Woke’! If you ask her how she identifies or what her gender pronouns are, she would give you this answer: “I’m a straight female who’s flattened a lot of grass. I spent much of my university days behind a club called Cinderella’s with a cone of chips in one hand and a pint of Snakebite and Black in the other. For balance. I once dabbled in Lesbiana but couldn’t fully commit because, like a London cab driver, I wouldn’t go south of the river.” Abi’s stand up show Anglichanka, which was about living and studying in Russia, gained her several 5 star rave reviews and the show toured the UK. She was the first comedian to do shows in Moscow in both English and Russian, as Abi explains “My father was a spy… sorry, diplomat, so I went to the Soviet Union as a kid and then in the early 1990s I studied opera at the Moscow Conservatoire. Over the years, I’ve met many people who have been persecuted by the Soviet regime, including Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, so I have an inbuilt hatred of all authoritarian bastards who encourage denouncement and punish freedom of speech.” She has appeared as a guest comedian on BBC Radio 4’s Midweek, Saturday Live and BBC Radio Scotland’s The Janice Forsyth Show, and ITV’s Good Morning Britain, debating mandatory vaccine passports opposite Edwina Currie. As a writer, Abi has written for several publications including Spiked and The Times. Abi is a regular commentator on GB News, You can see her on Tonight Live with Dan Wootton and Mark Dolan and she also appears regularly on Andrew Doyle’s Free Speech Nation as well as Nana Akua’s weekend Debate show on GB News every Friday from 4-6pm. Twice monthly she joins Ann Widdecombe and Emma Webb in Widdecombe Webb & Woberts streamed LIVE on the New Culture Forum YouTube channel and also contributes regularly on Talk Radio & Times Radio.Follow and support Abi at the following links Website: https://abiroberts.com/ GETTR: https://gettr.com/user/abiroberts Twitter: https://twitter.com/abiroberts?s=20&t=gcvve1Ik83YEhvKcEo_aWA Instagram: https://instagram.com/abirobertscomedy?utm_medium=copy_link YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/AbiRobertsComedyDivaOriginally broadcast as a live news discussion 26.3.22Audio Podcast version available at ⁣https://heartsofoak.podbean.com/ and all major podcast directories.To sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestreaming platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/connect/ Please like, subscribe & share!Links to stories discussed this episodeAlphabet soup of sexuality Mayor of London using TFL to push LGBThttps://twitter.com/LozzaFox/status/1520071277817610241?s=20&t=6mvsMCrFpaehXdnuYgX_2QUniversity midwife students taught to care for men giving birth 'through their penis'https://www.gbnews.uk/news/university-midwife-students-taught-to-care-for-men-giving-birth-through-their-penis/283839CovidSignificant rise in cardiovascular cases in the under 65s in Scotland.https://twitter.com/ClareCraigPath/status/1519938184725024768?s=20&t=oD_em_hTLuOmUQA7PoRP5ANow will the BBC retract its lies over vaccine threat in pregnancy?https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/now-will-the-bbc-retract-its-lies-over-vaccine-threat-in-pregnancy/Dame Abi Roberts America plans to inject an experimental mRNA serum into 6 month old babies, and our media outlets are more interested in which political leader ate cake or drank beer.

Pete Peterson – Pepperdine University: The Fight for ‘Viewpoint Diversity’ on America’s College Campuses

Pete Peterson, Dean of Public Policy at Pepperdine University in California joins us this episode for a fascinating look at the education system in America. I had the pleasure of meeting Pete when I was in the US earlier this month and he kindly agreed to come on Hearts of Oak to discuss the battle that is currently taking place for the heart and soul of College Campuses across the US. A diversity of viewpoint is no longer accepted and students are now required to sign up to the latest prevailing victimhood status group, a difference of views and opinion is simply no longer tolerated. Pete's run for the position of Secretary of State in California gives him broad insight and knowledge on the attack of education in America and how best to respond. Pete Peterson is a leading national speaker and writer on issues related to civic participation, and the use of technology to make government more responsive and transparent. He was the first executive director of the bi-partisan organization, Common Sense California, which in 2010 joined with the Davenport Institute at the School of Public Policy to become the Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership, he has also consulted on several of these projects with local governments, and has directly facilitated public meetings. He has co-created and currently co-facilitates the training seminar, "Public Engagement: The Vital Leadership Skill in Difficult Times" a program that has been attended by over 3,000 municipal officials, and he also co-created and co-facilitates the seminar, "Gov 2.0: What Public Officials Need to Know," which explores the ways in which technology is changing local government processes and he recently co-developed the new Professional Certificate, "Leading Smart Communities," with govtech practitioner Dr. Jonathan Reichental. In 2017, SPP launched a new initiative titled the "American Project: On the Future of Conservatism", which is co-directed by Dean Peterson and Rich Tafel. The "Project" is a unique effort to gather scholars and activists from a variety point on the conservative spectrum to deliberate over, write about, and discuss the future of the conservative movement. Pete writes widely on public engagement for a variety major news outlets including the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and San Francisco Chronicle, as well as numerous blogs. He is a regular guest on the "Politics Roundtable" with host Larry Mantle on KPCC radio.

Ingrid Carlqvist - Sweden’s Easter Riots from the Religion of Peace: The Result of Multiculturalism and Islam Pandering?

Over the Easter holiday period Sweden was in flames. A politician announced he would be burning a book, the Quran, and the Muslim community did not take kindly to this, in neighbourhood after neighbourhood police were pelted with rocks and cars set ablaze by angry rioters. Just the thought of someone setting fire to the Quarn had turned calm and peaceful members of society who follow Islam into angry, aggressive rioters who became extremely violent. Journalist Ingrid Carlqvist joins us to discuss what exactly happened to her country and how the police, politicians and the media have responded.Ingrid Carlqvist is a fearless Swedish journalist and author who opposes mass immigration and the Islamization of Sweden.This is part of the speech she made in The European Parliament a decade ago that is even more relevant today."Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Ingrid Carlqvist and I was born in Sweden in 1960, when the Social Democrats were gonna rule forever and ever and our country was the nicest and safest and most progressed in the world. Now I live in Absurdistan – a country that has the highest figure of reported rapes in the world, hundreds of so called “exclusion areas” where people live outside the Swedish society and with newspapers that hide all these horrible facts to the people.I feel just like Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz – a tornado came and blew me miles and miles away from home and dumped me in a country I don’t know.Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Sweden anymore.”Follow Ingrid on social media at:https://www.facebook.com/ingrid.carlqvisthttps://twitter.com/ingridcarlqvisthttps://www.youtube.com/c/Hoppf%C3%B6rSverigeIngrid's website with journalist partner Maria Celanderhttps://www.ingridochmaria.se/Maria Celander on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/mariasunflowerInterview recorded 25.4.22*Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstin

French Election Results: Overview and Analysis

French elections are upon us again and, just like 2017, its a run off between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. But this time its different. Macron is not the new unknown but has presided over 5 failed years in France. Marine has branded and has a much softer image that puts France first as opposed to the globalist Macron vision for less France and more EU. Will the voters show they have had enough of Macrons failings and turn to Marine Le Pen for a new chapter for France? Join us to hear the results as they come in and we get feedback and answer questions from our viewers on our various live chat platforms.Originally broadcast as a live video stream 24.4.22 *Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstinTo sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestreaming platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/connect/ Please like, subscribe & share!

The Week According To . . . Caroline Farrow

Caroline Farrow returns for our weekend blitz through the news and other talking points in the media this week.Caroline is the campaign director for CitizenGo and will be giving us an update on the support she has been given for their current petition to 'Scrap the Family Sex Show' (link to petition below) which has been making headlines in the UK, a show planning to tour in England that bills itself as an ‘alternative to porn’, featuring performers stripping completely naked and yet markets itself to families and children as young as five.As this 'gender' assault on our children continues Sajid Javid has called for an inquiry into whether vulnerable children are wrongly being given gender hormone treatment by the NHS and is planning an overhaul of how health service staff deal with under-18s who question their gender identity. We look at the story of criminal defence barrister, Allison Bailey, who is raising money to sue Stonewall to 'stop them policing free speech' after the organisation pressured a leading chambers to remove her, effectively ruining her career for being highly critical of the LGBT charity’s approach to transgender rights.In Camden Town, London, which was the first borough to open a ladies only toilet, campaigned for by activist and playwright George Bernard Shaw, have made a u-turn and female only toilets are being reinstated after reports that a woman had reported a frightening experience in the unpopular gender-neutral loos.The Education Secretary, Nadhim Zahawi has said that teachers must tell parents if their child comes out as transgender and says schools ‘have a duty to safeguard those children and parents are very much part of that’ as he draws up new guidelines.Covid continues to bring misery in the travel industry as experts predict cuts to flights because of the loss of workers from the pandemic, red tape slowing things down and unprecedented staff illness and absence and we finish up in Spain where Burger King has withdrawn and apologized for an offensive ad campaign used on billboards throughout the country depicting Jesus at the Last Supper consecrating the bread, modifying them to promote a new vegetarian burger causing outrage among Catholics during Holy Week.*SIGN THE 'Scrap the Family Sex Show' HERE https://citizengo.org/en-gb/fm/207302-scrap-family-sex-show In 2010, frustrated by many of the media headlines and negative coverage of Catholicism, Caroline began a blog in defence of Catholic teaching and to reflect on UK current affairs and world events through the lens of a Catholic woman. What began as nothing more than personal musings designed to explain and propose controversial ethics and life issues to those who had struggled with them, or to de-bunk misleading narratives and headlines, soon mushroomed and popular posts would receive more than 30,000 unique visitors a day. Between 2011 and 2017, she was a member of the organisation Catholic Voices, set up to promote the defence of Catholic teaching in the public square and made numerous media interventions on their behalf and quickly became the 'go to' voice for media organisations looking to represent a female conservative Catholic point of view. Since 2013 Caroline has writes a weekly column for the Catholic Universe and has written for and featured in a number of other publications such as the Catholic Herald, the National Catholic Register, the Conservative Woman, Mercatornet, Crisis Magazine, LifeSiteNews and Church Militant. She used to write on Catholic culture at the now defunct Spectator Arts blog and has been featured in the Daily Mail, the Observer and the New Statesman. In 2013, Caroline was included as part of the first cohort of the BBC's '100 women' and she regularly features on BBC News, Sky News, ITV's Good Morning Britain, BBC Sunday Morning Live, the Big Questions and has made multiple appearances on Radio 4's flagship Today programme, Woman's Hour, the Moral Maze and the Sunday programme as well as featuring in one-off documentaries. Caroline also presented the coverage for March for Life UK for EWTN and has contributed to News Nightly and Celtic Connections. She also frequently contributes to Talk Radio, LBC and BBC local radio as well as BBC Radio Ulster, discussing matters pertaining to Catholicism, feminism and the challenges of motherhood and family life. Caroline has an eclectic career background. She began her professional life as a student accountant for a big 5 firm before succumbing to a desire for travel and adventure and became a member of cabin crew working both long and short-haul routes for internationally acclaimed airlines. Having got the travel bug out of her system, she returned to work within investment banking and private equity in the City of London until her first child was born. Caroline is currently the campaign director at CitizenGO, has 5 children of school-age, four girls and one boy and is married to a Catholic priest who converted from Anglicanism, a few years after they were married.Follow Caroline on GETTR and Twitter @CF_Farrow and online https://www.carolinefarrow.netOriginally broadcast 23.4.22Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstinTo sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestreaming platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/ https://heartsofoak.org/find-us/Please like, subscribe & share!Links to stories discussedGender chaosHow COULD this sex show for children as young as five get £40,000 of public cash?

Grooming Gangs: Zero Accountability As Not a Single Police Officer is Found Guilty

The failings of our institutions to tackle the grooming gang culture that exists in some Pakistani Muslim communities in the UK continue apace. This time it is the police who have failed, for nearly seven years they have been investigating themselves to decide if one of the 43 police forces within the UK failed in their duty of care to the girls being trafficked and raped. The police force that was being investigated was South Yorkshire, In the end they found themselves not guilty. This is what happens when self regulation is the norm, wrongdoing is simply covered up and the public are told to "move on, nothing to see here". We will look at this cover up report and at the recent half apologies from other police forces as we face more and more cases of these men being prosecuted. It seems like there is no end to this abuse of our children and to the desire of our institutions to cover it up.Originally broadcast 21.4.22*Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstinTo sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestreaming platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/connect/ Please like, subscribe & share!Links to articles discussedRotherham scandal: 'Zero accountability' as not a single police officer loses job in eight-year investigationhttps://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/crime/rotherham-scandal-zero-accountability-as-not-a-single-police-officer-loses-job-in-eight-year-investigation-3636041No officers sacked over failings in Rotherham child sex abuse scandalhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/no-officers-sacked-over-failings-in-rotherham-child-sex-abuse-scandal-tgkjlvrr2The police have been investigating themselves since at least 2017https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/news/ipcc-begins-concluding-some-rotherham-csa-investigationsWhat is the IPCC?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Police_Complaints_CommissionGreater Manchester Police chief admits force 'were borderline incompetent over Rochdale grooming gangs'https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/greater-manchester-police-chief-admits-23724781Durham police and council respond to child sexual exploitation reporthttps://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/19893710.durham-police-council-respond-child-sexual-exploitation-report/Avon and Sommerset Police Response to report https://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/news/2022/02/our-response-to-release-of-latest-report-by-the-independent-inquiry-into-child-sexual-abuse/Rochdale grooming: Eight accused of sexual exploitation of girls https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-61163938Rochdale victim: ‘I was groomed at 14, then the courts came for my children’https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/17/rochdale-victim-i-was-groomed-at-14-then-the-courts-came-for-my-childrenInquiry into Child Sexual Abuse finds ‘extensive failures’ by local authorities and police forces https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/independent-inquiry-child-sexual-abuse-failures-metropolitan-police-local-authorities-b979973.htmlMet Police and Tower Hamlets Council failed to spot ‘degrading’ child sex abuse, inquiry findshttps://www.londonworld.com/news/met-police-and-tower-hamlets-council-failed-to-spot-degrading-child-sex-abuse-inquiry-finds-3549943Police sergeant denies failing to act over child sexual exploitation in Rotherham saying he had 180-case workload with 35 new cases every weekhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10660495/Police-sergeant-denies-failing-act-child-sexual-exploitation-saying-180-case-workload.htmlPriti Patel orders national inspection into police handling of CSE cases with Bradford 'inadequacies' citedhttps://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/crime/priti-patel-orders-national-inspection-into-police-handling-of-cse-cases-with-bradford-inadequacies-cited-3628775More than 50 MPs have been reported for sexual misconduct with their offences ranging from harassment to 'more serious wrongdoing', parliamentary watchdog reveals https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10726693/More-50-MPs-reported-sexual-misconduct-parliamentary-watchdog-reveals.html

Jason Miller - Can Elon Musk Fix Twitter or is GETTR the Future for Free Speech

With Elon Musk in the headlines with his offer to take over Twitter, there is no one better placed to discuss this subject than Jason Miller. Jason is the CEO of GETTR, the fastest growing social media platform in history which has sought to be the new home for free speech. His background working within the Trump administration in the White House gives him political connections that most could only dream of so he has taken that knowledge and understanding and used it to build GETTR into an impressive social media platform. What does Musk's cash offer for Twitter mean for free speech online? Is he serious or is this one of his power plays to let off some steam before heading back to the real business of building up Tesla and Space X? Can Twitter actually be fixed or are platforms like GETTR the only way to allow open and honest conversations on social media? Join us to hear Jason's thoughts on all of this.Jason Miller is the CEO of GETTR social media and was the former senior advisor to President Donald J. Trump and is also a contributor at Newsmax TV.He launched the free speech social media platform in July 2021, and under his leadership it reached 1M users in only three days – the fastest growth for a socialmedia platform of all time, it now has more than 4M users globally and comes with a promise to never deplatform or censor anyone for their political beliefs.The importance of it’s emergence as a cancel-free platform was highlighted at the end of Jason’s September trip to participate in CPAC Brazil, as he attempted to fly home, he and his traveling party were detained for three hours and questioned about the purpose of their visit and although they were not accused of any wrongdoing and eventually released, the episode proved that enemies of freedom are everywhere.Before launching GETTR, Jason served as senior advisor to President Trump, where he worked on his successful impeachment defence team, and before that he served as senior advisor in the 2020 campaign and senior communications advisor in 2016 and also served as communications director in the transition team.In addition to his earlier work managing campaigns for U.S. House, U.S. Senate and Governor, as well as serving as a chief of staff on Capitol Hill, he has more than two decades of corporate communications, public relations and policy expertise advising clients on how to deal with the intersection of politics, policy, financial markets and the media.Jason currently serves as a Contributor for Newsmax TV, offering political analysis and insights for the Make America Great Again movement, the 2022 mid-term elections and policy debates in Washington, D.C.A native of Seattle, Washington, he is a graduate of The George Washington University.You can follow Jason on GETTR at https://gettr.com/user/JasonMillerinDC and you can find Hearts of Oak there at https://gettr.com/user/heartsofoakOriginally broadcast 18.4.22*Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstinTo sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestreaming platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/find-us/Please like, subscribe & share!
