Jacinda Ardern and the woke war on free speech

Spiked chief political writer, Brendan O'Neill eviscerates New Zealand prime minister, Jacinda Ardern. Ardern is the modern face of authoritarianism. She sells her message under the cloak of kindness, but it is anything but kind.

Tyranny has had a makeover. It’s no longer a boot stamping on a human face forever. It isn’t a gruff cop dragging you into a cell for thinking or expressing a ‘dangerous’ idea. It isn’t a priest strapping you to a breaking wheel. No, authoritarianism is well-dressed now. It’s polite. It has a broad smile and speaks in a soft voice. It is delivered not via a soldier’s boot to the cranium but with a caring liberal head-tilt. And its name is Jacinda Ardern.
