The System of Diversity – with Ben Cobley

In this Special Episode of the Sceptic, Laurie speaks to Ben Cobley, commentator and author of The Tribe: The Liberal-Left and the System of Diversity and The Progress Trap: The Modern Left and the False Authority of History, out next month. They discuss Ben’s concept of the “system of diversity” we find ourselves living in our multicultural society, Laurie’s research on hate crime and why that’s a prime example of it, why it’s so unforgiving, the concept of ‘community leaders’ and whether they are authentic, and ‘Islamophobia’ and the unholy fusion of ultraconservative Islam with Left-wing sociology. In the premium section, they discuss why Labour is so afraid of a national grooming gangs inquiry, why the wheels are coming off for Jess Phillips, how to recover from our two-tier society and Ben’s new book on the falsehoods of progressivism.
