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
-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!)
