Hi, it's Tom here. The Spike Podcast is about to get underway in just one moment.

We've got a fantastic special edition for you today, all about free speech with very special

guest, Toby Young. But before we get into all that, I just want to tell you about how best you can support this

podcast and our work.

All of our podcasts and articles are free and we want to keep it that way, but to do that we rely

on the generosity of our readers and our listeners through donations.

In particular, regular monthly donations help us enormously, allowing us to plan ahead for bigger and better things.

Even five pounds a month can be a huge help. So if you like our work and you do

want to support us, please do consider becoming a regular donor. Just go to spiked-Online.com and click on the big red donate button in the top right corner to sign up.

One-off donations are of course also greatly appreciated.
