Mike speaks with Brendan O’Neill, Editor of spiked and author of After the Pogrom, about the shooting of Charlie Kirk and the rise of cancel culture.

O’Neill reflects on Kirk’s commitment to open debate, describing the attack as an attempt to silence free thought. 

He contrasts Kirk’s Enlightenment-style belief in robust discussion with today’s culture of “safe spaces” and cancel culture, which he argues suppress liberty and independent thinking.
