Why They Don't Need Him

Capitulation to terrorism?

Not at all.

It's just that, as of Tuesday, neocons simply don't matter any more.

Douglas Murray blew any chance of a Tory seat when he used a Spectator Diary to announce that he had voted Labour in the Ealing Southall by-election following his Question Time spat with Sayeeda Warsi.

And now this, doubtless the first of many.

So what is he going to do with the rest of his life now? He's only just 30, if he's that old.

Of course, he doesn't need to work. Hence his pretend think tank that is in fact just his media by-line where "Too Rich To Need To Work" would not do.

But even so, it would take a heart of stone not to laugh.

  1. He's a twit, and bit of a creep on the side. But the LSE are scared stiff of "controversy" (i.e. angry Islamists causing a fuss).

    Is Douglas Murray were to become a Tory MP any residual respect I might have for him would vanish completely.

  2. I've said before and I'll say again, both he and Kamm (refuses to rejoin Labour, openly voted Tory last time against his anti-war Labour MP) should apply to be People's Peers, and let's see how far they get.
