UnHerd with Freddie Sayers

Peter Hitchens: Lockdowns, 5 years on


Listen Later

Journalist and author Peter Hitchens joins Freddie Sayers to reflect on the world 5 years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. As society grapples with the lasting impact of lockdowns, Hitchens questions whether those who advocated for severe restrictions should be forgiven.


Hitchens explores whether the fervour surrounding the pandemic has been replaced by a new wave of political and media hysteria, particularly with the war in Ukraine.


Is society moving from one crisis mentality to another? Are we learning from past mistakes, or doomed to repeat them?
