Ian Dunt's UK, America's 'masculinist' movement, and could Switzerland cap its population?
About this episode
The episode discusses the fallout from a student's death, the masculinist movement in the US, and Switzerland's population cap referendum.
Ian Dunt on the continued fallout over the death of 18 year old Southampton University student Henry Nowak. In the US, a radical movement known as ‘masculinism’ wants to repel the advances of feminism. And this weekend (June 14), Switzerland will vote on a referendum proposal to cap its population at 10 million. But it remains unclear how such a “cap” would work, particularly in a nation with large companies that rely on skilled migrant labour. Guests: Ian Dunt, iNews columnist and regular LNL commentator Helen Lewis, staff writer for the Atlantic Mercedes Ruehl , Switzerland and Austria correspondent for the Financial Times
