‘Something very weird and profoundly disturbing is going on in the Western world at the moment, something I would not have imagined possible just a few years ago — indeed a few months ago.’

‘We are witnessing nothing less than a cultural revolution, with distinct echoes of the one that rent China in the 1960s and 70s.
