Lost Generation

My generation was on twice tonight.

Russell Brand was on Question Time.

Not any of us who can remember, and who may even have been politically active during, the last 25 years, several of whom are now Members of Parliament.

Oh, no.

Russell Brand.

And Douglas Murray was on This Week.

He defended torture in that style which he has had since his early twenties, of a middle-aged paterfamilias addressing his teenage children.

In this case, those were Andrew Neil, Michael Portillo, and a Diane Abbott who tore him to shreds.

Next to no one of our vintage supported the Iraq War. Yet there he was. Douglas Murray.

What have we become?
