The New Right Wing Messiah

This week Ed Dutton returns to The Current Thing to talk about his new biography of the controversial, enigmatic genius Jonathan Bowden, who has become a highly influential figure following his premature death.

We discuss:
-Why Ed has been attacked by the ‘online right’ for writing this book
-Bowden’s extraordinary speaking ability, and the traits that made him a genius
-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
and lots more.

Here’s a clip:

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