Last evening I watched this debate, all of it, and it was nothing if not revealing. At the begining I didn't think I'd watch all two hours of it, but I did and in my opinion, so should you.
The protagonists debating for the proposition [The lefties] are professor Michael Dyson and Michelle Goldberg. Speaking against the proposition [The righties] are professor Jordan Peterson and Stephen Fry. Yes you read that correctly, Stephen Fry teaming up with Jordan Peterson to speak against political correctness, who'd a thunk it.
Fairly quickly into the debate it became obvious that Michael Dyson wasn't really interested in debating political correctness, his entire raison d'etre was to create division and hatred, to hammer home that all white people are privileged racists who should on bended knee beg forgiveness.
If you watch the debate, and I hope you do, you will notice as it develops the audience slowly go against Dyson's constant stream of racist hatred, even booing him at one point. On the other hand, Peterson and Fry who were far more reasonable and conciliatory, received several short bursts of applause.

Is the Stephen Fry speaking here against political correctness the same Stephen Fry who recently described members of the MCC as "beetroot-coloured gentlemen in yellow-and-orange blazers ... looking as if they’d come out of an Edwardian cartoon”, and who also recently stated that the British Museum keeping the Elgin Marbles was like the Nazis stealing the Arc de Triomphe?
If yes a rather surprising choice for the role.
