I'm shocked at the levels of content, the dripping content there is for millions of people.

So it's very hard to put that genie back in the bottle,

just like the positive side of Brexit is that the Democratic genie is out.

Also, some of these disdainful, vile views are out and we now realize that a substantial

minority of people in this country see their fellow citizens as lesser human beings

than animals and would happily disregard them in a democratic way but sometimes in a more punitive

way just deprive them of their liberty almost.

So how do we get over that?

Hello and welcome to the Brendan O'Neill show with me Brendan O'Neill.

This is a podcast in which an esteemed guest joins me to talk about the big ideas, the bad ideas, the problems,

and the controversies of life in the early 21st century.

In this episode, I am delighted to be joined by Claire Fox.

Claire is director of the Academy of Ideas and

organizer of the Brilliant Annual Intellectual Festival, The Battle of Ideas. She comes from a far left background. Like me,

she was a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party and she was publisher of its monthly journal Living Marxism where I got my first

break in journalism. Claire is a regular commentator in the British media. She is the longest standing panelist on the moral maze on Radio 4,

and she has also appeared on Question Time on BBC 1 and Newsnight numerous times on BBC 2. She is author of I Find That

Offensive a book about freedom of speech and the corrosive culture of offense taking. Claire may have been involved in politics

and political campaigning for her entire adult life but last year she got

involved in electoral politics.

In the European elections she was elected as the Brexit Party MEP for the

northwest of England, a position she held until our exit from the EU at last at the end of January.
