A MEMBER of the Question Time audience clashed with Spectator journalist Rod Liddle on Thursday evening’s show.
During his appearance on the show, Liddle said there “probably is some overdiagnosis” and that he had some “sympathy” with Stride’s comments.
He replied: “If you want me to address that rather than the question I’ll do that. Do you know what country has the worst mental health in the world? Monaco – the richest country in the world.“And if you go down the list, you will see that the countries with the worst mental health, the most referrals, the most therapists, the most psychiatrists, people who see psychiatrist per capita – Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, we’re in the list as well but a bit further down.
However, later on in the programme, the audience member who initially asked the question hit back at Liddle, explaining she was a therapist at a school. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
