How many of your followers would want to hate-listen to you interviewing someone on the “wrong” side of the culture wars. I mean, I’m not sure how intellectually honest “ban LTNs and immigration” really is; and that’s critical for a podcast.

(A bit like the “freedom of movement is racist” argument from Brexiters)
comment in response to post
It’s also mostly a bad faith argument; people who oppose LTNs generally do so wherever they live and because they object to any restrictions on driving, not out of any concern for boundary road residents
