Hello, it's Tom here.

Before we get into this week's episode, I just want to quickly remind you all about spiked

supporters.

This is our new and I'm glad to say thriving donor community for those of you who give

to spiked regularly.

So now those of you who give to Spiked regularly. So now those of you who give five pounds or

more each month or 50 pounds or more each year can get exclusive perks. You can comment on

articles, you can get discounts on all items in our shop and you can get free and

discounted tickets to spiked events. We just had one last week with the great Rod Liddle

in conversation with Brendan O'Neill. Spite Supporters went for free and it was great to see so many of you there.

So if you'd like to come along to any of our upcoming events, which will be announcing soon,

and you're not already a spike supporter, why not sign up today.

Just go to spiked hyphen online.com slash supporters

to find out more and to sign up.

Once again, that's spiked hyphen online.

com slash supporters. Thanks so much and now on with the show.

Hello and welcome to the Spiked Podcast. I'm Tom Slater, no Fraser and no Ella this week.

So rather than just talk to myself,

I've lined up to eminently qualified standings

in the form of spite editor Brendan O'Neill.

Hello?

And Spights columnist Tim Black.
