BBC Radio 4 to broadcast 'Why I Changed My Mind' -PH interviewed by Dominic Lawson. Wednesday 8.45 p.m.

I am asked rather more often than I like (because it has begun to bore me a bit) about why I stopped being a Bolshevik and become a  social and moral conservative. My main answer is that I did what every radical young man in human history had done before me, and that it is not very interesting. What���s interesting, and what I have found gripping  and (to begin with) shocking as I have pursued my career in politics and the media,  is why so many of my generation have *not* changed, and remain as radical as when they were 20.

But people still keep asking. And this Wednesday evening on BBC Radio 4 at 8.45 p.m.(assuming the schedules don���t change at short notice)  I discuss the question of why I changed my mind in a recorded interview with Dominic Lawson, former editor of the Spectator and the Sunday Telegraph, now a columnist for both the Daily Mail and the Sunday Times.
