Andrew Doyle on tour with Douglas Murray

[BovaryX]

Andrew Doyle takes aim at #no debate and announces upcoming tour with Douglas Murray. The media has been a supplicant to the new orthodoxy for too long. Good to see that the existential threat to freedom of speech is being challenged.

On all of these points he happens to be right, but even if one takes a contrary stance I can’t see how any of this is especially controversial. Question Time is meant to be a debate, not a one-sided reiteration of intersectional dogma. This is one of the reasons I’m touring the UK with Douglas Murray later this year in a discussion show called Resisting Wokeness. We hope to open up some conversations that are badly needed

The tour is called Resisting Wokeness. It's going to a number of places:

I'm going to go along to the one nearest to me. With some reservations, but it should be interesting.

I have tickets & expect it to be thought provoking...

Hey, great nauticant! I am currently reading The Madness of Crowds, which I would recommend. It's interesting, isn't it? The insidious advance of #no debate has reinvigorated freedom of speech.

Thanks, I'll try to look at tickets for the one in Glasgow. Unsure if it will be my cup of tea, but it will be interesting to hear both of them speak and observe the type of crowds they pull.

I laughed out loud a lot at the Titania McGrath show during the Edinburgh festival. It would be a shame if he killed off the character. Satire and poking fun are great ways to expose ideological movements and get people to think about their attitudes and behaviours.

I've read and re-read the The Madness of Crowds - love it. Also have 2 tickets for the event.

I loved this "Recently I was accused of writing an obvious hoax piece for the Independent under the pseudonym ‘Liam Evans’ which called for offensive comedians to be prosecuted for hate speech. The intention was clearly to expose the way in which certain outlets will publish any old nonsense by anyone at all, so long as it is sufficiently woke. About the authorship I couldn’t possibly comment, but by an incredible coincidence if you take the fourth letter of every sentence of the article it spells out ‘Titania McGrath wrote this you gullible hacks’." :-)

Hahahahaha

There’s an event with them on YouTube if anyone wants to see it

Milan Kundera’s: that ‘to be absolutely modern is to be… a brilliant ally of your own gravediggers’.

I just loved this quote I read this morning and wanted to add it somewhere.

Only recently found Titania (thanks to you lot) and thought bumping this thread a nice reminder of her

I'd totally forgotten about Kundera, but The Joke is just an earlier iteration of cancel culture, isn't it?! Thanks for the reminder.
