Lawlessness

When not suggesting that the children of hoi polloi, with whom he would appear to have scant acquaintance, were all like the Edlington Two, Douglas Murray made himself Question Time's poster boy for violent lawlessness on the most enormous scale.

"Kosovo was illegal, Bosia was illegal", he squealed in defence of the illegal war in Iraq, something that at least he made no attempt to deny that he was. Well, yes. They were. Not only that, but we fought them, if we had to at all, on the wrong side.

Still, he did manage to needle Jenny Tonge about the record of the Lib Dems as cheerleaders for the illegal, and disastrous, dismemberment of Yugoslavia in the days when Labour and the Tories were still led by rather more serious figures than Blair and his Heir.
