Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says French President Emmanuel Macron has “gone mad”.

“If you look at his vaccine passport idea, it is absolutely crazy,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“He wants to have a severe system whereby if you aren’t double vaccinated then you basically are no longer a free citizen.

“I’m delighted to see people protesting, the way to encourage people to get the vaccination is through persuasion, not through authoritarianism and our leaders should remember that.”
