Greetings and welcome! We should of been joined by our dear friend, David Vance, but he is a little under the weather with a frog in his throat. It is possibly the first time ever that David has been lost for words, so that just won't do! But the show must go on so our intrepid leader is flying solo. Coming live from Northern Ireland, This is The Week According To . . . Peter Mcilvenna. After the By-Elections this week, Peter has a look at the polls across the UK then sets his sight further afield and looks at the state of play in The Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Austria. Then he gives us his thoughts on some of the stories on how the migration invasion is being handled on both sides of the pond and finishes with a warning why its not the best idea to glue your hands to things to save the planet! Peter Mcilvenna currently works for Lord Pearson of Rannoch (One of Margaret Thatcher’s last Lords appointees and former UKIP leader) in the House of Lords. He has also worked as a Senior Researcher in City Hall for the UKIP assembly members and as UKIP’s National Campaign Manager during the 2019 Local and European Elections. Prior to this Peter travelled across the UK for two years speaking at churches under the banner "Can we talk about Islam". He also worked at Christian Concern (a Christian lobby organisation) and before that was on staff at Kensington Temple (one of the largest churches in the UK) for nearly ten years. Peter is married with two children, has a strong Christian faith and has attended Kensington Temple, a large Black majority Pentecostal church in West London, since 2002 when he first came to London. He is a self confessed 'Plane Geek', a keen flyer, holding a pilot's licence for the past fifteen years and takes to the skies whenever he can. Peter co-founded Hearts of Oak with Alan Craig as they were becoming increasingly alarmed at the world wide woke agenda and they set out to create a populist Free Speech Alliance aimed at countering the cultural Marxism that pervades all areas of our lives. Hearts of Oak was launched February 2020 in Westminster London.
