Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, a number of independent publications and journalists have come under attack from corporate and state-run media outlets and their pundits defending risky government ‘lockdown’ policies and the suspension of civil liberties.

One voice of sanity amid all the pro-government hysteria has been British journalist Peter Hitchens.
The New Culture Forum speaks to Hitchens who directly challenges the UK government’s mass-panic Coronavirus lockdown policy and explains why its enthusiastic embrace by the British public disturbs him greatly.
