Andrew Doyle
Fascinating discussion with 'Saint' Andrew Doyle about his book 'The New Puritans', and much more. Andrew and Nick talk about:
-Whether we have lost the battle for free speech
-Whether we have lost the battle for free speech
-Why free speech doesn’t come naturally to us
-Why liberalism is still the best approach
-Why both the left and right should embrace free speech
-Whether wokeness is a left or right wing movement
-The difference between political correctness and woke
-How the woke 'mistake change for progress'
-Why the woke movement is like the Salem witch trials
-Why some people can see through woke hysteria
-Andrew's views on Covid, and whether he was ‘silent’ on the issue, as some claim
-His views on Andrew Bridgen vs Spiked
-How some of the anti-woke side are becoming as dogmatic as the woke
-His thoughts on Ofcom
-What it’s like working with John Cleese
-How he is so productive (although he claims he is not!)

Playing catch up with some of your earlier podcasts & particularly enjoyed Andrew (have read his Free Speech book) but thought he misrepresented the Mark Steyn issue. MS’s contract was being fundamentally altered in that he was asked to indemnify GB news against any Ofcom fines, which clearly put him in an impossible position. Andrew, Toby etc take the view that GB News should operate within OfCom’s straight jacket. MS believes that they are state censors & must be challenged
