Thatcher and Powell

A couple of summers ago I sent my then colleague Jonathan Derbyshire to interview Hall. "When I saw Thatcherism," he told the NS, "I realised that it wasn't just an eco-nomic programme, but that it had profound cultural roots. Thatcher and [Enoch] Powell were both what Hegel called 'historical in-dividuals' – their very politics, their contra-dictions, instance or concretise in one life or career much wider forces that are in play."
