The Ministry of Fear

On the subject of paranoid despots, here's that rarest of things: a Peter Hitchens article that I actually agree with.

Go easy, man! Peter Hitchens is a twat - pardon my French.

And can you think of anyone (outside of North Korea) who could say "I think North Korea's a great place. I really admire their system"?

Fair point (and one I was tempted to make myself), but he does get a bit of credit for not drawing his usual facile parallels between atheism and totalitarian regimes. Plus, in contrast to the load of shite that John Bolton was spouting the other week, he's bang-on about the enthusiasm for re-unification.
