‘Everything’s BROKEN DOWN!’ | Could France-Style Riots Happen In Britain?

TalkTV's week brought roughly 8.3 million views, a weekly audience close to Times Radio's, though the two channels are moving differently at the moment. Times Radio's daily viewing is well above its usual level; TalkTV's is a little below its own, with its subscriber count unchanged.

Across 15 uploads, France supplied a recurring subject. Kevin O'Sullivan and New Culture Forum senior fellow Philip Kiszely warned that Britain could experience similar disorder, arguing that governments have ignored public concerns about immigration. In a separate conversation, O'Sullivan and Spiked editor Tom Slater examined Donald Trump's decision to blame immigration for the French unrest. Those are the speakers' arguments about its causes, not explanations the footage alone establishes.

Ian Collins's discussion with David Wooding took a broader route through public frustration, political leadership and opportunistic looting that can move protests away from their original purpose.

The week's largest new-upload audience, however, went to another O'Sullivan conversation with Kinsey Schofield about Harry and Meghan. This installment questioned reports that a charity encouraged cheering before their Nottingham appearance. The description says the charity and the Sussexes have been approached for comment; the visit footage shown is labeled October 2024, rather than a new visit.

That royal discussion also carries the strongest viewing momentum right now, followed by O'Sullivan's full show and his interview with Kiszely. Short topical exchanges and the longer broadcast are both finding a place in TalkTV's viewing mix.
