Cancelling Kevin Myers

<p>Is Sinn Fein's current popularity on both sides of the Irish border the fruition of decades of its left-wing campaigning paying off, or a conscious break from the past terrorist activities of Sinn Fein's armed wing, the IRA? How has Ireland's media responded and what part does Brexit play in renewed Irish Anglophobia?</p> <br> <p>For over 40 years, Kevin Myers has been one of the most fearless and outspoken journalists in Ireland - but in 2017 he found himself effectively cancelled following a controversial article he wrote for the <em>Sunday Times</em>. In this podcast, Kevin talks about Sinn Fein's success and the narrowing spectrum of the Irish commentariat, in conversation with <em>The Critic</em>'s political editor, Graham Stewart, and Simon Kingston, founder of the West Cork History Festival.</p> <br> <hr><p> See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
