John Gillam


John Gillam is the founder of Thinking Class, an independent forum for long-form inquiry examining the political, cultural, and civilisational questions shaping England, Britain, and the West. Through extended conversations with historians, legal scholars, economists, theologians, politicians, and public intellectuals, alongside essays and documentary broadcasts, the project explores themes of democracy, identity, inheritance, institutional continuity, and social change.

With an audience spanning Britain, North America, and Australia, Thinking Class has developed a reputation for serious, historically grounded discussion in a media environment more often driven by headlines and hot-takes.
