In this bonus episode, we look back at the interviews of the series so far, drawing out headline lessons for citizens, governments or other bodies in Europe and beyond.


Section 1 defines the shapes and patterns of illiberalism, via case studies on Central Europe from across the episodes.


Section 2 pulls together headline 'lessons' on how to fight back, starting at 32 min.


These are:


1. Be alert to emotion trumping fact;

2. Make science easier to access;

3. Education as illiberal attack / liberal defence;

4. Defend free speech;

5. Uncover the agenda;

6. Be wary of \"mission creep\";

7. Fight fire with light;

8. Persuasion vs. coercion.


Thank you for listening!
