Unironically Peter Hitchens. He fills the role of "grumpy, traditional English moral figure" that Johnson created and that Chesterton later took up in the 20th Century.

England generates a guy like this about once every century. I think the 19th Century had one too, I just forget who it was.

Actually if you bother to listen to what Hitchens actually SAYS, his content could be a bit crude and unsophisticated. I'll never forget him dismissing Islam as "a religion founded by a goatfucker." Which, you know, maybe that's true. But what good's that going to do you against someone actually learned in Islam, who actually knows what they're talking about?

This is one of the reasons I've always preferred Peter to Christopher. Christopher talks pretty, but he's not as deep. Peter isn't as witty or well-spoken as Christopher, but he seems to be a deeper, more powerful thinker. It's like the two brothers are mirrors of each other, with perfectly opposed strengths and weaknesses.

Somebody post the time Peter Hitchens shat all over GRRM.
