Episode notes

In his latest book, i wrote an essay on defending David irving. I think he's completely wrong his theories of the holicost. But you know, he was arrested in austria, just at the airport. They scanned his passport, and they go up yere, flagged and they called the police and hauled him off. And he was put on trial and found guilty. He hadn't even spoken. He was just going to give a speech. Why would you compromise such a sacri principle for the basis of some one like him?Why would you give him that kind of power?I don't understand it.

Political Correctness has formed the basis for a new intolerant mindset, actively policing speech that is deemed offensive or controversial. Rather than confront bad ideas through discussion, it has now become common to intimidate one’s detractors into silence. Taking on board legitimate concerns about how speech can be harmful, Andrew Doyle argues that the alternative — an authoritarian world in which our freedoms are surrendered to those in power — has far worse consequences.
