Reply #20: I can't see how you can fit a fag paper between the views of the hitchens brothers myself [View All]

but as I've already said in various posts elsewhere I am very left wing so I suppose the finer points between their politics are lost on me.

I know that Chris Hitchens was on the left in days of yore, unlike his brother Peter who was always a tory. Chris seems to have followed the path that quite a few on the left have followed and become increasingly conservative over the years.

Richard Littlejohn, Melanie Phillips, Gary Bushell & Chris Hitchens were once progressives or extreme lefties. None of them strike me as particularly liberal today.

IMO being an atheist republican precludes anyone from the right wing. I heard a recent interview between the two brothers Hitchen on religion recently and while they did have some disagreements on that subject there didn't seem to be that much of a difference, although not identical, between the pair politically.
