Should all ‘good points’ be made?
You know, sometimes you think something and say to yourself “that’s a good point, but what are the implications of making it?”.

Indeed this is exactly what Novara are discussing in their 2024 round-up. WokeContinue reading “Novara Media’s ‘2024, the year that ‘Woke’ died…’”
