joining me from London are Spikes deputy editor Tom Slater hello and spike columnist

Ella Wielin.

Hi coming up on the show today the rise of the and Spike columnist Ella Wielen. Hi.

Coming up on the show today,

the rise of the right wing snowflakes,

the battle for Hong Kong, and the new anti-Semitism.

Why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid?

But it was incitement of violence, inappropriate, dangerous, and I do think something needs to be done.

So the press has to be responsible.

Somebody will say, oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.

These are foolish people.

Over the past few years, we've become all too used to hearing calls to curtail free speech in the name of political correctness. But in recent months, anti-P.C. Wright has become just as

censorious. In the US, Donald Trump has reiterated his support for a ban on

burning the American flag. It follows his call in 2016 for anyone caught burning the flag

to be jailed or have their citizenship rescinded. Other right-wingers including

turning points, Candace Owens, support the ban. And meanwhile in the UK

Nigel Farage called for the police

to investigate comedian Joe Brand after she joked that protesters should

stop throwing milkshakes at right-wing politicians and throw battery acid instead.

Tom are the right turning into and throw battery acid instead.

Tom, are the right turning into the kind of snowflakes that they claim to hate?
