How Britain Witnessed A Moral And Cultural Revolution - Peter Hitchens

Hello classmates and welcome to Thinking Class. Peter Hitchens is a columnist for the Mail on Sunday and a contributor to many other publications. He has published several books, mainly on aspects of what he regards as a cultural revolution which has transformed Britain for the worse in the last half century, and these include The Abolition of Britain and The Rage Against God. Peter has been a journalist for nearly 50 years, has reported from 57 countries, and was a resident correspondent in Moscow and Washington. Peter is a former revolutionary Marxist, who now describes himself as a socially conservative social democrat. In this episode, Peter and I talk about why being right and searching for the truth is not one in many friends, how British people are becoming less proud of their nation, why the First World War set in train a moral revolution in the British Isles, the rise of what Peter calls selfism, Why we are left guessing about how our leaders measure right and wrong now that the Christian faith is no longer our guiding ideal, how Britain courts economic catastrophe, and why the moral and political issues facing the country suggest a bleak future. We also talk about the need to be precise in our language so as not to inadvertently inflate an issue. And much, much more. Enjoy the show Classmates. And don't forget to subscribe.
