As a gay man I find this dialogue very refreshing. I find myself at odds with some of the identity politics swirling around in the gay "community". There's a dangerous neo liberal fascism which is extremely disturbing and I salute those who counter this extremism with balanced and reasoned argument.

[@lisas595]

Well said Karl. As a woman, I am equally horrified by the neo-feminist movement which dictates that women are better than men and I am astonished to find that even some men seem to have fallen into submission and have accepted that it is socially acceptable for women to ridicule, belittle and put men (as a group entity) down and yet it is unacceptable for women to be criticised for this (unacceptable apparently because they tells us that we women are a suppressed group!). Regardless of our gender, sexuality, race, or religious identities, we are INDIVIDUALS first and foremost and should be judged as an individual.

[@mezzuna]

My cousin who is a one of my closest friends came out last year in an extremely religious conservative family who are all close. He did in fact face a bit of stigma if im honest and I felt awful about it. But I've asked him and he's not even really sure that there is such thing as an 'lgbt' community. Would you agree? I meant I don't see any trans and lesbian friend groups at the cinema. Most of his friends are straight, he certainly doesn't select for an identity group. Is that a thing in your experience? Sorry for personal questions but this is fairly anonymous

[@mezzuna]

We need more people like Douglas and Julia! Here we are, approaching 4 years since this interview, and we are in an even darker and more dangerous place. Everything they said would happen, has happened. It is extremely worrying.

[@19thnervousbreakdown80]

Agreed. The problem with judging people by "the content of their character" is that unlike in the 70s and 80s, it's now a settled debate. Some groups and communities have been proven to be totally lacking in character or any redeeming quality. One community in my opinion is a monolith of bad actors and poor characters. They can no longer wished to be judged by their character because they have none. I imagine MLK knew this at the time but hoped with time they'd overcome. It's utterly depressing and wholly hilarious to see them try to pretend.

Absolutely brilliant, insightful and clear thinking here about the current madness around us. If only our politicians would listen and take note, ideally the lawyers too! Such wisdom from Douglas, especially around some of his conclusions about meaning in peoples’ lives and the need for forgiveness and understanding of others - there but for the grace of God and of history - most of which was so much worse than today, if not hellish (nasty brutish and short?!) Thank you so much.

Great podcast! Always amazing to listen the brilliant Douglas Murray ❤ the Christopher Hitchens of our time

I could listen to Douglas Murray all day. He's so intelligent and engaging.

I have heard much about how I should listen to Julia and haven't. I came here to hear from Douglas Murray and am incredibly impressed by both of them. Bravo!The BBC is long gone for me; I no longer have a licence. They changed, I didn't. This channel looks to be an excellent alternative. Thank you!

Never heard any interviews with Douglas Murray before but I’m impressed he speaks a lot of sense

[@boudecia22]

You should check him out . He's a very bright spark.

[@grippipethin2796]

He’s occasionally allowed on BBC but only if he’s vastly outnumbered and attacked by a lefty interviewer. This is so refreshing where he’s allowed to speak and not shouted down by a lefty interviewer.

"Is being black simply the first step to some massive political movement?" Bloody hell he must have been sitting on a crystal ball when he wrote this book. Great interview.

The bit at the end around 52 minutes when he says why aren't students at university studying how we can live in underwater cities is legendary. We need young people thinking about more important subjects that will help continue the human race not destroy it.

Douglas Murray is the reason I subscribe to the Spectator, he writes a weekly column that never fails to amaze me with its clarity. He writes with an innate sense of what is right and what is really happening.

Fantastic chemistry and interview. This is how it should be done as a respectful conversation. Thank you. A pleasure to watch.

There's nothing better than listening to the intelligent conversation from one of the greatest intellects we have in Douglas Murry. We now live in a world where most of us have a device in our pockets that gives us access to every conceivable item of knowledge, music, culture and truth, the downside is that it gives everything access to us.

Can't beat Douglas Murray, much as I'd like to see him do hour-long interviews like this every week. part of the reason he's so good, is that he disappears for months at a time carefully diligently researching his books and Spectator columns. His insights are better for it, and his arguments are rock solid. If only more journalists worked like him, rather than grasping for the first half baked thoughts to fill the 24hr rolling news and so-called opinion pieces
