Political Dregs

Masks and face coverings are set to be mandatory in British shops on the pain of a criminal fine. Is this a pragmatic step to keep us safe or a horrible invasion of individual liberty? What’s the evidence they work? Why now not 4 months ago? Should we do anything we can to save the economy? We have a big debate and there are some surprising views.

The Dregs are joined by Adam Tong, a celebrity video gamer who broadcasts on Twitch, to discuss the increasing influence of woke politics on video games. Should gaming companies push politics and show support for Black Lives Matter? Or should video gaming be a fantasy, escapist experience free from the lectures and hectoring of the real world?

The Political Dregs talk about the new campaign to “defund” the BBC and what we all think about our national broadcaster. Is it biased? Does it provide programming no commercial outlet would do?

There’s no Pride march this year because of coronavirus but the Political Dregs are marking the Pride weekend with a discussion of all things LGBT. Is the rainbow flag a good symbol for gay rights? Should LGBT include the T? But most importantly, is this just another way to emphasise the differences between us rather than move towards equal treatment? Let us know why we’re right or why we’re horribly wrong in the comments.

The Political Dregs talk free speech and whether Twitter was right to ban Katie Hopkins.
