Brian Gerrish from the UK Column team was delighted to be asked to speak to Common Knowledge Edinburgh in the Jig Room of The Granary pub in Leith, Edinburgh, on Sunday, 14 December 2025. Unable to attend in person, Brian was able to address the Common Knowledge Edinburgh Executive Committee and guests via Zoom link, with the support of Professor Diane Rasmussen and Mark Anderson from UK Column, and chaired by Professor Richard Ennos. Prompted by those present to fully engage in The Granary's hospitality, Brian was able to give his presentation and enjoy a glass of beer in the comfort of his home. Three key topics had been chosen for the presentation. These were:

1. The origins of UK Column
2. The state of the nation in 2025
3. The strident calls for war against Russia 

In covering the origins of UK Column, Brian recounted the main details from his talk at the Hope Sussex Freedom Music Festival earlier in 2025.The central theme was the strong spiritual calling to travel, warn, and teach people about the destructive attacks facing individuals, families, communities, and society in the UK. This opening subject led to a wider discussion about the state of the nation today in which chaos and breakdown are apparent across all sectors of society: government, law and order, policing, NHS, education, defence, courts and constitution, family, and the relationship between men and women.In the final short segment on the calls for war, Brian discussed the power of fear in the population as a means for the UK state to control minds, curtail free speech, and impose controlling laws and legislation. He suggested that the malicious political use of fear for war was a more powerful agenda of control than the political agenda to foment actual war with Russia.

Jeremy Kuzmarov on the Rwandan genocide myth | Jerm Warfare

► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Subscribe

Jeremy Kuzmarov—author, historian and managing editor of CovertAction Magazine—argues that the Rwandan genocide is a myth, suggesting instead that it was a civil war influenced by foreign interests, including the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, as well as various governments.

He points out that the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was backed by the US and UK to gain control over the Congo's mineral wealth.

Plus, Jeremy challenges the mainstream portrayal of the conflict (such as Hotel Rwanda), asserting that both Hutu and Tutsi committed atrocities, and criticises the Western media for perpetuating a simplified narrative that ignores the truth.

A Mother and the Adventures of Gabriel | UK Column Interviews

► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Subscribe

Separated by the callous decisions of the UK's secretive Family Courts, mother Kate Markland and her 11-year-old son Gabriel co-wrote The Adventures of Gabriel together during nine weeks of once-a-week FaceTime calls. Gabriel shared stories from his imagination, with the help of mum Kate as his scribe. What started as a lifeline between mother and son became a legacy of resilience, joy, and creative power. The extraordinary storytelling process and work of Gabriel and his mother has now been adopted by schools and educators in the UK and worldwide. Their efforts have also been picked up by an excited media both in the UK and overseas. Cruelly, despite this unique, stunning, and productive relationship, mother Kate is still denied full access to love and care for her son.

Simon Roche discusses the cyclical nature of human history as interpreted through occult teachings, emphasising the current 'time of war' and its historical context.

He introduces the concept of a '12-minute war' predicted to occur soon, linking it to the preparation for the Third Temple and the implications of silver shortages on the economy.

The discussion critiques the media's role in shaping public perception and concludes with a sense of urgency regarding the future of humanity and a call to action for listeners to be aware and prepared.

China Hits $1 Trillion Trade Surplus in 2025: Mercantilism or Western Myth? | Silk & Steel

► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Subscribe

In this episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, host Carl Zha welcomes back Professor Warwick Powell, Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology and Senior Fellow at Taihe Institute in Beijing. They dive deep into China's record-breaking $1 trillion trade surplus in 2025 (as of November), debunking Western narratives of "predatory mercantilism," analyzing Xi Jinping's recent Qiushi article on expanding domestic demand (published December 2025), distortions in trade statistics, and the Jimmy Lai guilty verdict (December 15, 2025). Powell offers nuanced insights on global value chains, Western self-inflicted deindustrialization, and why outdated playbooks like currency appreciation won't work against China.
