UK Column is an independent media organisation that was established in 2006 to investigate systemic corruption, child abuse, and advocates for accountability.
In this week’s banter, I wanted to know more about its two-decade evolution through changing audio-visual technologies and the persistent challenge to navigate censorship and maintain objective discourse.

China has gone from having virtually no world-class research universities to domination of global scientific output in just a few decades—but why have traditional university rankings not reflected this transformation?
In this episode of the Silk & Steel Podcast, Carl Zha welcomes returning guest Doggie (Han Feizi) to unpack China's extraordinary rise in science, higher education, and technological innovation.
With the use of objective research metrics—to include the Nature Index, publication output, and citation data—they explore how China's universities rapidly climb. Many Western ranking systems continue to favour reputation over measurable performance.
The conversation expands into China's industrial policy, innovation ecosystem, manufacturing advantages, AI competition, and what these trends mean for future global power balance.
In this episode:
• Why traditional university rankings may no longer reflect reality
• China's explosive growth in scientific research
• How Chinese universities climbed to the world's top tier
• Manufacturing, engineering, and innovation advantages
• The relationship between higher education and economic development
• AI, semiconductors, and the next technological race
• Why perceptions of China often lag behind the data
Whether you agree or disagree with the conclusions, this episode is packed with statistics, historical context, and an in-depth discussion of one of the biggest geopolitical shifts of the 21st century.

Speaking with Patrick Henningsen in Mashhad during the six-day funeral procession for Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, British journalist Bushra Shaikh describes the extraordinary reaction to her presence in Iran: attacks from The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, Iran, and international and prominent online figures, with some calling for her to be labelled a terrorist. She characterises the campaign as a witch hunt driven by a fringe of the online right, suggesting her critics are unsettled that a Muslim woman they once shared platforms with at GB News and TalkTV cannot be deployed as a political weapon.
Shaikh challenges Western coverage of Iranian women, saying she has moved freely without wearing hijab, and describes the role of women as prominent in Iran. On the funeral itself, she describes the crowds which even the likes of The Financial Times put at 13–15 million in Tehran alone, and a public mood of grief mixed with fury at the United States and Israel following the assassination of the Supreme Leader.
She reports that Iranians she has spoken to reject the MOU ceasefire framework outright, distrust Trump and Israel entirely, and demand serious negotiation rather than a cycle of broken ceasefires.

Ken McCarthy argues that the hepatitis B vaccine shines light on wider problems—pharma influence, opaque medical training, weak regulation, and historical ties to population control.
He pushes for independent research, informed consent, and parental choice over vaccinations.

Rebecca is a passionate, dedicated, and concerned mother who warns against the dangers of explicit sex education given to ever-younger schoolchildren.
The agenda of sexualisation is, for Rebecca and her colleagues, blatant, overt, and simply too much too young.
Since it was formed, 2much2young has gained support from many parents concerned about the sexualisation of their children.
Sex education approved by the government is so explicit and perverted that many kids have suffered emotional harm from the content and style of delivery.
In this frank and adult discussion, Rebecca recounts her background as part of the travelling fairground community and how that led to her having contact with many children.
She also describes how contact from concerned parents — alarmed at what they consider sexual grooming of children by the state — led to the formation of 2much2young to provide a much-needed platform to represent their views.
Rebecca works closely with Public Child Protection Wales (PCPW), and she and members of her team attended the recent PCPW conference.
This is a vital interview for anyone who wishes to understand the risks and harms posed to their children by government-approved child sexual grooming educational content.

For years, Silicon Valley convinced investors that bigger budgets, more GPUs, and trillion-dollar valuations were the future of artificial intelligence. That narrative is now challenged.
In this episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, Carl Zha is again joined by AI researcher TP Huang to examine why it is that China's newest AI models shake the technology industry and global financial markets.
From ZAI (formerly Zhipu AI) and Meituan's surprise breakthrough to the growing impact of DeepSeek, TP explains that Chinese AI companies deliver world-class performance at dramatically lower cost. He discusses what that means for OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Nvidia, and the future of the AI industry.
They also explore whether America currently experiences an AI investment bubble, why China's open-source ecosystem advances so quickly, how hardware restrictions pushed Chinese engineers to become more efficient, and whether the centre of AI innovation begins to shift eastward.

Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern argues the CIA killed JFK because he challenged their power and opposed Israel's nuclear programme, and that Zionist influence dragged America into wars for Israel's benefit (Iraq, now Iran). McGovern asserts the US empire collapses as Russia, China, and the Global South rise. The Strait of Hormuz crisis will potentially trigger a global depression.

Steve Falconer joins Jerm to discuss Apocalypse Infinity, a film which consolidates 25 years of research. It argues that "it's the Jews" is a managed distraction.
Jews serve as frontmen and scapegoats for deeper papal/Black Nobility bloodlines, Jesuits, and a "Cult of Venus" that traces back to ancient Irish Druidic origins of the Abrahamic religions.
They discuss engineered divide-and-conquer tactics (Israel-Palestine, mass immigration, Agenda 21/2030 city-herding), the fractured state of the "truth community," and how Falconer's esoteric understanding has left him more grounded; he watches his own thoughts like to watch storms pass through the sky.

• Li Si's tragic last words: "We can no longer hunt with our yellow dog"
• The five-stage execution method (tattoo, nose, hands/feet, castration, bisection)

In this conversation with artist Jake Fern, lifelong peace activist Chris Coverdale opens up about the experiences that shaped him — a strict boarding school that left him wary of blind obedience, the anti-Vietnam War protests that first pulled him into activism, and the family business he unexpectedly inherited that taught him how people really work together (and why that matters for changing the world).
He discusses the legal side of his work: how Britain has broken its own promises to renounce war since 1928, how few people actually hold the power to send the country into conflict, and how the UK's own laws define genocide — laid out plainly, using the Iraq War as an example.
But mostly this is a personal story about why he's spent 60 years refusing to look away from war, why he believes protest alone doesn't change anything, and why he's chosen to fight through the courts and his own tax refusal instead.

Has China's latest wave of open-source AI models fundamentally changed the global artificial intelligence race?
In this episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, Carl Zha welcomes back economist and geopolitical analyst Dr. Warwick Powell to examine why China's newest AI breakthroughs send shockwaves through Silicon Valley and Wall Street.
The discussion explores how models released by Chinese companies including Z.ai (formerly Zhipu AI) and Meituan challenge the proprietary business model that has driven massive investment in America's AI industry.
Warwick argues that the traditional Silicon Valley approach—to build expensive, closed AI systems that are protected by technological "moats"—has become increasingly difficult to sustain as powerful, low-cost open-source alternatives emerge from China.
The conversation also examines:
• Why investors question America's AI business model
• The rise of open-source AI ecosystems
• Competition between Chinese and U.S. AI companies
• Export controls and technology restrictions
• The future of AI commercialisation
• Whether the global AI race has fundamentally shifted
If China's AI ecosystem continues to innovate faster while it makes cutting-edge models openly available, what does that mean for the future of Big Tech?
