    So lovely to see John Gray.  He did a lot of interviews about 14 months ago on the back of The New Leviathans.  Terrifically insightful voice.  Great interviewing by Will Lloyd - refreshing to see such collaborative engagement.

    I love how John just casually rips into the entire world view of the average NS reader with absolute ease.

    One of the most sensible voices around. It’s so refreshing to hear someone who’s not pandering to a left or right audience.

    Brilliant episode thanks. I'm an NS subscriber and always look for John Gray's articles. Hadn't seen any for a while so was worried he wasn't writing for NS any more. Glad to see he's still involved.

    Thank you both for having a proper intellectual debate about the disconnect between the governed and the governed.
