For many, this is a n...

Academy of Ideas#BattleFest2019: The rise of toxic politics - can we be civil?A recording of a debate at the Battle of Ideas festival on Sunday 3 November 2019.

Should we lament a lost civility, or is the emergence of more forthright and angry disagreements in fact a good thing? Wh...
