spiked is dedicated to encouraging free and open (and even loud and rowdy) debate about the big issues of our time. So we’re delighted to sponsor the Battle of Ideas - an annual festival that is dedicated to the very same, and which brings together a most impressive collection of thinkers, writers, activists and members of the public each year. Let Battle commence. Brendan O’Neill, Editor, spiked |

Wendy Kaminer, US-based writer on law, liberty, feminism, religion, and popular culture
