Cultural conservatism

Peter Whittle runs a think tank called the New Culture Forum - it's a recognition of the fact that while the Left have lost the economic battles (or at least we thought they had before Gormless Gordon started nationalising the banks and taxing the rich until the pips squeak), they have won the culture wars.

The NCF is an attempt to undo this "march through the institutions" that has gone on since the glory days of the 1960s (Woodstock, Lady Chattersley, Roy Jenkins, et al) - it's worth a look if you consider yourself to be a 'cultural conservative'.

Peter's excellent blog on the Telegraph website is always worth a read, but this post attacking smug, boring Leftist comedians really cracked me up:

Of course they’re about as genuinely rebellious and unorthodox as Enid Blyton. Have you ever heard a great routine mocking the environmentalist movement? Islamic fundementalism? Welfare cheats? Multiculturalism? Inconceivable. No, let’s say “f***” a lot, and maybe have a go at the Queen. You rebels!

Brilliant! Read the whole thing.
