My Take
Douglas Murray fights with words rather than performance, and that alone makes him a different animal in this database. An Oxford Magdalen graduate, he has thrown deeply divisive books like The Strange Death of Europe and The Madness of Crowds into the public square. I do not nod along to all of his arguments, but his willingness to stake out unpopular positions and stand in the crossfire without flinching is genuinely formidable. The Hammersmith-born commentator accepts being loved and loathed in equal measure as part of the job. Whatever one concludes, he forces you to think, and that earns a measure of my respect.
