You might have noticed over the past 5 years, that a few big left-leaning figures have made their way to the right. What's up with that? Using Naomi Wolf as the main example, I talk about their penchant for fame, the need to be loved and admired, and the pattern of narcissistic tendencies - even in those fighting for good causes. Basically, it's not about the ideology, but aligning themselves with a cause. Any cause! p.s I think I sound like a cross between an older woman on Coronation Street, and a character from Wallis & Gromit on this voice recording. Don't let it put you off!

Also, the name I kept forgetting is Steve Bannon (not Hannon or Gammon). I was also searching for the word 'conflate' - but it only came to me after I'd stopped recording. Oh and sorry about the plane flying overhead.
