Hoggs' Honour

' We cannot blame anyone else, even the Government, if we drop each his own pinch of incense on the altar of Beelzebub ...' says Quintin Hogg-Member of Parliament, barrister, poet, and family man. Having condemned the individual as a sinner, he moves on to society: ' If the country lacks discipline, if it ceases to believe in decency, if it ceases to worship at the shrine of honesty and truth, if its women lack modesty and its men lack courage-it's no good laying the blame on ministers, or politicians, or parliaments.' Many, no doubt, would agree with the ex-Lord Hailsham. Others believe, no less firmly, that Quintin Hogg and his followers, though perhaps they are right in the diagnosis of society's ills, are wrong about the cures they prescribe. This week, in the MAN ALIVE studio Quintin Hogg discusses the morals, manners, and fashions prevalent in art and public and family life in Britain today -and explains the principles of Hogg's Honour.
