Most people haven't experienced any differences during lockdown, those on minimum wage, on the breadline, struggling to bring up families, needing foodbanks, nothing has changed for them, working 80 hour weeks, no treats, no holidays. That's where the likes of Hitchens fails, he has no interest in these people, which are about 1/4 of the country but don't read the Mail.
Imagine living in France in the early 40s and saying " I'm not so interested in libertarian values, the resistance can go **** itself, thon boy wee the mouser isnae that bad, I don't notice the difference"

As i said to my 82 year old neighbour who said something similar to me "it ain't really about you it's about the generations below and the ones to come, you have had your life"

I'm sorry you feel the way you do but I think liberty is a hill worth dying on, I'm glad so many thought so when the man with the funny walk was goose stepping round Europe.
