The People's Forum: He's a far-right hedge fund chap who's smart enough to put up a few seemingly-lefty

views on a website to draw in people who can handle a debate. He thinks the West (he talks about "the West") has lost its way because it's lost touch with Christianity. He was a big sponsor of Brexit, of course, and recently he's discovered the joys of mediawashing, as various regimes have discovered the joys of sportswashing. He founded UnHerd and he's bought the Spectator and GB News for buttons, and is trying to bring the "just asking questions, why can't we have free speech any more, don't you crazy lefties want to debate things anymore" vibe of Fox News and NewsMax to the UK.

As I wrote below:

"Unherd tends to platform a range of views although it's more right than left overall."

I'm probably more left than right myself, instinctively, but I can handle a debate.

No idea who Paul Marshall is. Maybe I should google..... ;-)

Of course they're entitled to be that; but the idea that they are centrist or neutral is a little silly.

.....its a subject that I find really hard to get my head around and sadly the extremists on both sides make it a very unpleasant debate.
