Does Britain really only have one "neo-con"?

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

Douglas Murray - publicity photo I see the rather sneering, simpering Douglas Murray is on Question Time again tonight. By my reckoning that makes it at least three times this calendar year - once in late April, in the schools Question Time in summer and now. Is he shagging someone on Dimblebore's research staff or something? If "neo-cons" are, as a group, significant enough to warrant representation on such a program, surely there must be more of them than just him?

The problem is that he's a rather good QT guest. He never fails to get his point across, and never fails to disagree with the rest of the panel. I don't agree with much of what he says, but he does a good job of arguing it. I also think that we're (as Lib Dems) not in much of a position to question whether other groups are 'significant enough' to merit representation - we're represented on QT most weeks, and are getting our own special show next week. I think Murray can probably be bracketed with a couple of others of similar views - Melanie Philips, perhaps - who do make regular-ish appearances in defence of a vaguely 'neo-Con' platform. Personally, I was more offended by the odious presence of Tony McNulty...
At first i thought he was James Purnell!
I'd probably put Donal Blaney in the Neo-Con bracket: http://donalblaney.blogspot.com/ ... so that's three of them.
