The thatch has been combed... the pint glasses are squeaky-clean... and the Anglofuturism podcast is back! Tom and Calum are once again broadcasting from the King Charles III orbital thatched pub. Today we welcome Lawrence Newport, darling of the British progress movement and bane of vicious dogs.

Lawrence got the government to ban the XL bully – a savage breed of dog with a horrific record of violence. Having dispatched the dogs, he is now coming for the Nimbys and the criminals via two new campaigns: Looking for Growth and Crush Crime. Lawrence and his colleagues are, in our view, some of the country's most important practitioners of practical Anglofuturism.

Lawrence, Tom and Calum talk about the most effective ways to bring down crime, whack up infrastructure, and force the government to do things it doesn't want to do. We also hear the inside story of the XL bully campaign.

In this series finale, Calum and Tom welcome Samo Burja to the King Charles III Space Station.

Samo is an analyst whose highly-regarded San Francisco-based consultancy views history as being shaped by 'live players'.

When was Britain last a live player? What kind of activity would be required to wrench us off our course towards oblivion?

Samo also discussed his plan for making Britain the wealthiest country in the world: seek energy abundance, prospect Antarctica, and become the compute capital of the world. Oh, and spend the entire NHS budget on drug discovery.

Rarely is it argued that there are not enough fat cats in British industry. But Rian Chad Whitton, an industrial policy specialist at Bismarck, argues that we are not doing enough to support big players. As it stands, Britain has a puny industrial base that is ill-suited for manufacturing at scale, developing 21st-century robotics, and providing the materials we need to defend our shores.

Rian has a plan, though – involving nuclear energy, captains of industry, and Welsh gold.
