Lord Ridley

Great show and a great guest. Regarding the questions you gave him I would have loved him answering the question on the likelihood that Russia paid millions to many of our MPs to lobby against fracking. As Lord Ridley says it’s almost economic suicide not to frack to reduce our energy bills………

Ssshhh Lionel

Great episode with Lionel Shriver, but please Lionel. Don’t mention when I tried to shame people into getting vaccinated. Don't mention when I got caught up in the mania and turned against my fellow man

Lionel Shriver episode

I’m wondering alongside the status symbol of having a trans identified child, if the bigger monster that isn’t (maybe) talked about as much/widely know / critiqued, is children and adult diagnosis of autism spectrum conditions. Linked to this is the huge amounts of financial incentives (and status) when receiving such a diagnosis. For some people being on a waiting list allows them to receive financial support. Not denying the usefulness for families/people that do need this but there is a pandemic of people seeking the diagnosis currently. Would love to hear people talking about the autism pandemic. Also very interesting podcast generally. I’ve given 4 stars as I don’t often hear about solutions (like for example would have been very interested to hear the alternatives to locking down during covid not only that it was bad) just critique.
