The Care Dilemma | David Goodhart – The Sceptic Ep.52

In Episode 52 of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following guests:

David Goodhart, journalist and founder of Prospect magazine, head of demography at Policy Exchange, author of The Road to Somewhere, Head Hand Heart and most recently, The Care Dilemma: Freedom, Family and Fertility. They discuss gender roles and why family policy is coming back on the agenda, anywheres vs somewheres and the consequences of immigration and demographic change.

And for our premium subscribers, Laurie speaks to Eugyppius, author of the substack Eugyppius: a Plague Chronicle, about the German media’s ghoulish reaction to the death of Charlie Kirk and the nastiness of “anti-fascism”, plus the steps he has to take to evade Germany’s woke Stasi.
