Episode 2189: The Richie Allen Show Wednesday February 11th 2026

On today's show: A jazz tutor has been kicked out of one of Britain’s leading conservatoires for questioning critical race theory and saying that organisations like Black Lives Matter are divisive.

Martin Speake said his life was “destroyed” after students at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich, south-east London, boycotted his lessons because of his opinions . One student said he didn't "feel safe." 

The renowned saxophonist was cancelled for claiming there was no evidence of endemic racial inequality in British jazz and that critical race theory was dangerous.

Martin is taking the conservatoire to an employment tribunal for constructive dismissal, discrimination and harassment. He shares his story on today's Richie Allen Show. This is very important. Share widely.
