Douglas Murray is a provocateur, prolific debater, best-selling author, political commentator, and associate editor of The Spectator. In this in-depth interview, Douglas decries the “asymmetry of wokeness” – a shift from “reportable, objective truth” to so-called “personal truth” – meaning “feelings trump facts” and a growing propensity to shun voices of disagreement; argues we are witnessing a “great mass derangement” in society – a weaponised “rise of victimhood” and decline of the “British attitude” to tackling problems; and celebrates the “success” of Brexit – and the “democratic opportunities” it has created.
