“The word conservative is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”

“Now the nightingale, the pretty nightingale,
The sweetest singer in all the forests choir,
Entreats thee, sweet Peggy, to hear thy true Loves tale:
Lo! yonder she sitteth, her breast against a briar.”
—Thomas Dekker (1572?1632?)
