Toby Young: O’Brien is wrong – censorship is never the answer

Our columnist took issue with Lockdown Sceptics in his article yesterday. The Editor of that site replies.

Neil O’Brien: Trumpism in Britain. It’s time to call out those in the media who cynically feed the cranks, rioters and conspiracists.

One of our best selling papers recently ran a piece promoting the views of an “NHS worker” who claimed hospitals were “empty” and Covid was a “hoax”.

Auto-rant, bullshit and self-pity. The conspiracists who stormed the senate. And their right-wing equivalents here.

We feel the power of American culture in Britain – and the shock-jockery, coat-trailing, and oppositional mindset that comes with it.
