Journalist and Twitter addict Peter Hitchens has sparked yet another furious row, this time over notorious "anti-snowflake" psychologist Jordan Peterson, claiming a "cult" has formed around the controversial Canadian.
Writing on Twitter, Hitchens insisted Peterson, who shot to fame in 2016, has an obsessive following. Hitchens' followers, many of whom backed Peterson, proceeded to exchange retorts with the
Mail on Sunday columnist.
Clinical psychologist and lecturer Peterson was relatively unknown until his campaign against political correctness at his workplace, the University of Toronto, hit the headlines.
The professor uploaded videos in which he said he would not accept the Canadian government's Bill C-16, which proposed including gender identity and orientation in the Canadian Human Rights Act, thus making it illegal to discriminate based on outward expression of gender.
