Brendan O’Neill shakes his head over this week

O’Neill is one of the courageous ones. Apt summary and recommendation:

“So it starts with tearing down statues of slave traders and it ends with a school in Sussex ditching its plan to name one of its houses after JK Rowling because she has dared to criticise the cult of transgenderism. What a deranged week this has been. Statues toppled or defaced by middle-class mobs haughtily taking offence on behalf of all black people. Classic comedy shows erased from streaming services. People cancelled for wrongthink on everything from white privilege to genderfluidity. Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with George Floyd needs to give their head a shake. This is the zeitgeist of intolerance intensifying. Enough. Institutions under pressure to censor need to start showing some backbone, and the rest of us need to offer solidarity to all victims of the woke witch-hunt. Freedom depends on it.”

Brendan O’Neill, editor of Spiked.
