  • What should you make of comparisons between the present day and the 1930s? Is the greatest risk that we're sliding towards Nazi-style fascism? Or that we're being drawn into a civil war where half the country are villains?

    Good effort at pushing back Josh, I didn't feel this guest really had any of his own analysis, just regurgitating the online left discourse.

    It always amazes me that people like this guy think they know better, when its pretty obvious he has no idea.

    You've got to admire this guys persistence in equating everyone he doesn't like with Hitler.

    What about Stasi Starmer? The UK is an Orwellian police state right now. The danger is always from the left not the imaginary right.

    I can describe a left-wing government that is true & good & fit for purpose. One that although I disagree with their methods that I think has value and is operating in the interest of the people. I wonder if he can make the same description for the right. I doubt it. And that's the difference between the sides.

      I’m rather conservative as well, but there are plenty of right wingers who consider anything left as full blown communism. Our side isn’t innocent either. But I like your point.

    Also when he was pushed you went to a break hehe,the fact that he seemed so uncomfortable is telling tho,either he didnt expect pushback or he just has never interacted with non woke people
