Hi, it's Tom here. So this is the bit at the beginning of the podcast where we always say

thank you to everyone who has been reading and listening and donating to us. But the reason that we do this

every single podcast is because we really, really mean it.

It's been a weird year so far in a lot of ways,

but the silver lining for us has been that Spikes has been growing.

We've been going from strength to strength,

and that's all because of you lot really particularly those

who generously donate to us every month. Those donations are what have allowed us to

expand our output to bring you more polemics and essays and podcasts and most importantly it's helped us to push

back against this mad a liberal identitarian time that we find ourselves in.

So once again thank you very much to those who give and if you don't give but you'd like to, please do think about making a donation today.

All we have to do is go to Spiked-Online.com, click on the big red donate button in the top right corner and then fill in new details.

Thanks so much and now on with the show.

Hello and welcome to the Spiked Podcast.

I'm Fraser Myers and with me me we have spiked deputy editor Tom Slater

Hello and spiked columnist Ella Whelan.

Hi. Coming up on the show the presidential debate the COVID

restrictions and we ask, is everyone racist now?

That was a hot mess inside a dumpster fire, inside a train wreck.

That was the worst debate I have ever seen.

Proud Boys, stand back and stand by, but I'll tell you what,

somebody's got to do something about Antifa and the Lapping.
