Hi, it's Fraser here. Before we get into this week's Spiked Podcast, I'd like to just say an enormous thank you to everyone who donates to Spiked. It's thanks to your generous support that Spiked has managed to keep going and growing throughout such challenging times.

And with the restrictions on our liberties getting tighter by the week, I hope you'll agree that Spiked's case for freedom has become more essential

than ever.

So, as I said, thank you to those who donate already, but if you haven't donated recently to Spiked or are not a regular donor, I'd strongly encourage you to sign up today.

We really have our work cut out for us in challenging the latest lockdown measures. If we don't fight back against them, they could

now last for six months or more. So if you think Spiked is doing a good job at making the case for

freedom and you want to help us push things further,

then become a regular donor today. It's really easy to do and even just five pounds per month can make the world of difference. All you need to do is

go to spiked hyphen online dot com and hit the red donate button in the top right corner

that's spiked hyp-Online.com and the red donate button in the top right

corner. Now onto the Spiked Podcast. Hello and welcome to the Spiked Podcast. I'm Fraser Myers.

Tom Slater is away this week

so joining us instead is Spiked editor Brendan O'Neill.

Hello?

And as ever we have Spiked columnist Ella Wielen.

Hi. Coming up on the show, the return of lockdown,

Labors Brexit backpedaling and the rise of the right wing snowflake.

We face a tipping point as a country. If that continued, you

would end up with something like 50,000 cases in the middle of October per day.

We probably make progress.

We should assume that the restrictions I have announced

will remain in place for perhaps six months.
