There is nothing surprising in middle-aged men moving to the Right. In itself that is just common-place and would not be worth mentioning. What is surprising is that many of the middle-aged men are still the last relics of the radical intellectuals. Despite their changes, despite the softening effect of the English official embrace, these men are still far more radical and opposition-minded than the intellectuals who have grown up after them. In England the middle-aged may have moved to the Right: but the young have started there. All the moment the intelligentsia is less rebellious than it has been for two centuries.
