Episode 2295: The Richie Allen Show Wednesday September 30th 2026
After rounding up the day's top stories, Richie is joined by Pete Gregson. Pete made national headlines in 2018 when he was expelled from the GMB union following disciplinary proceedings related to comments he made about Israel. The union concluded that some of his remarks breached its rules and brought the organisation into disrepute, while Pete argued that he was being punished for political criticism of Israel rather than for antisemitism. Today he remains an active pro-Palestinian campaigner, political commentator and writer. He's written a terrific article where he contends that Palestinians are substantially descended from the ancient inhabitants of Palestine, rather than primarily from later Arab migrants. Many of those ancestors, he argues, would once have been Hebrews/Jews, subsequently converting to Christianity and later Islam. Therefore he contends that modern Palestinians may have considerable ancestral continuity with the biblical populations of the region.
