Episode description
This campaign was praised by Piers Morgan, yet lamented by Jordan Peterson.
It was championed by Caitlin Moran, yet condemned by the Guardian.
It’s a campaign that’s split opinion, not by typical ideological lines, but within the echo chamber.
Today, I spoke with Mike Hughes, one of the people behind the campaign, to figure out why it was so polarising, and whether or not the campaign was successful.
