2020 will go down in history for all the wrong reasons. It was the year of Covid, lockdown, woke cultural revolution, censorship and resurgent identity politics. So many regressive, illiberal trends were accelerated, leaving those of us who believe in freedom and democracy with a real fight on our hands.
Yes, this was a watershed year. Which is why we at spiked have decided to mark it with a book – The Year The World Went Mad. Bringing together spiked writers’ most sparky, insightful pieces from 2020, it is an essential guide to a maddening 12 months.
You can buy it now here for £14.99 (plus shipping). Alternatively, if you’d like one of our copies signed by Brendan O’Neill, and you’d like to support spiked at the same time, donate £50 or more to our Christmas fund drive here, and we’ll send you your free, signed copy in the post.
Thank you! And here’s to a better 2021.
Design by: Alex Dale.
