The New Right Wing Messiah - Ed Dutton on Jonathan Bowden

We discuss:

-Bowden’s relationships with Michael Gove and Damian Thompson of the Spectator
-Why an intellectual like Bowden was drawn to ostensibly tough right wing parties
-Bowden’s bizarre pathological lying

This is a must for Bowden fans, and will also be very interesting for those who have never heard of him.
