'Murder Your Opinion': 'John the Duncan' on Laurence Fox, White Privilege and Celebrity Politicians

In this episode we are joined by John Duncan to discuss the anti-woke brigade in particular the UK actor turned right wing politician and bad singer Laurence Fox, whether it’s possible to address one’s own white privilege, celebrity politicians, human rights and neoliberalism, and the role of Scotland in the age of European Empire. John Duncan is studying a PhD at the School of Advanced Study at the University of London. His thesis is on the usefulness of human rights as a tool to mobilise collective action to challenge the neoliberal state. He also has a YouTube channel at JohntheDuncan where he makes videos covering leftist political issues. Born in Scotland, Duncan lives in London but has spent most of the covid lockdown in Scotland.
