Why Has The World Gone Insane? - Douglas Murray - #928

Douglas Murray is a journalist, author and associate editor of The Spectator.

Some see The West in decline, others believe we're entering a bold, uncharted era of opportunity. So how do we preserve the foundations of the West while also protecting the cultural values that make it worth saving?

Expect to learn what Douglas thinks of Trump's first few months in office, Douglas’ advice for the democratic party if they want to win in the upcoming elections, why the Trump-Zelensky meeting was disappointing, if the West is still trying to ‘erase itself’ according to Douglas or if we have moved past that, what the current state of the UK is like, lessons for the broader world from Ukraine and the middle east, why Douglas sued The Guardian and the fallout of that and much more…
