A video interview with Amity Shlaes
I recently had the pleasure of talking to American author and columnist Amity Shlaes. Our full discussion can be found below.
Lockdown three is wrong, cruel and highly destructive
It is clear that the virus does pose a threat. But to lock down the entire country should be out of the question. The cure is worse than the disease.
Backing the Call to Unity: I unequivocally blame the Government for lockdowns
I fully blame the Government for the introduction of tier-four restrictions, and have opposed the lockdown measures since the beginning.
The power and the glory: patriotism and music
They embody the disrespectful loyalty of the old left that truly believed that a patriot was his country's worst critic.

Being ‘global’ is exactly what ‘Brexit’ was a rebellion against.
Third lockdown in all but name
The Government ought to be ashamed of its bared-faced deceit. If it is going to lock the whole country down, it should be straight with us say so.
