It’s a unique opportunity to express your beliefs, challenge misconceptions, and gain insights into someone else’s world. There’s also a large cash prize up for grabs!



We are looking for people with strong opinions on any cultural, political, or ideological topics - this can be, but is not limited to, concerns about the future of the UK or society, veganism, feminism, climate activism, conservative or socialist views, religious beliefs, free speech, LGBTQ+ rights, immigration, or any other subject that matters to you.

We’re looking for people from all backgrounds who are unafraid to stand by their opinions.

If this sounds like you—or someone you know—apply now!
