The ones in power today were revolutionaries in their heyday.

"This is about a change in the culture .... the laws set up the culture," said a liberal MP just last week. Exactly! exactly! This is the tactic of the radical left. Force change upon society via the jackboot of the state! How illiberal of them! To outlaw anything, how illiberal! The champions of sexual freedom, how illiberal! Illiberal because they're now in power. Every revolutionary becomes an arch conservative when the revolution is over! #peterhitchens #theabolitionofbritain
