	Peregrine Worsthorne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peregrine Worsthorne was the son of a Belgian Roman Catholic father (born Alexander Koch de Gooreynd), who had anglicised the family name two years before Worsthorne was born, and an English mother; the couple had another son, who would take the name Simon Towneley and be Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire from 1976–1996.
		Worsthorne's father reverted his name to Koch de Gooreynd in 1937, and lived in what was then Rhodesia for some years; Worsthorne discovered in the early 'sixties that a half-brother had been born during this period.
		Worsthorne's belief in authority and hierarchy led him to argue in 1978 that the possible advance of "socialism" created an "urgent need…for the state to regain control over the people, to re-exert its authority…" (quoted in Honderich 67).

		Sir Peregrine Worsthorne said both papers and the Spectator magazine, which is also owned by the Canadian Lord Black, were "obsessive" in their pro-American and pro-Israeli editorial stance.
		Sir Peregrine, 79, was one of the most distinguished and outspoken editors of recent times - he worked at the Daily Telegraph between 1953 and 1961 and had a 28 year stint at the Sunday Telegraph between 1961 and 1989, spending five years as deputy editor and three as editor.
		Sir Peregrine also claimed in his New Statesman review of Editor: An Inside Story of Newspapers, that Sir Max was unsuitable to edit the Daily Telegraph because his politics did not tally with those of the paper.

	When lords cease being gentlemen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		LONDON: Peregrine Worsthorne is a man as delightful as his name, who for 30 years wrote a political column in The Sunday Telegraph devoted to infuriating as many of the British newspaper's righteous readers as possible.
		Worsthorne argues that such men created England's Parliament ("mother" of all the others): a form of government by free individuals who considered themselves society's moral leaders and not, as in modern Parliaments, representatives of the rest of society.
		Worsthorne buttresses it with arguments concerning British-influenced patrician classes elsewhere - in the United States, and in France's post-World War II establishment of a special corps of public servants by means of a post-graduate National Administrative School.

	Telegraph \| Entertainment \| Government should be left to gents
		Peregrine Worsthorne's book is both a remorseless tease of the new bien-pensant, egalitarian Establishment, and a serious critique of how that Establishment might be improved - or, better, gradually replaced.
		This "ancien regime" of which he was a part, argues Worsthorne, was united by a disinterested ethic of public service and guided by the social code of "the English gentleman", with its tolerance, courtesy, and preference for conciliation over conflict.
		The contrast, Worsthorne argues, between post-war England (which "put its faith in the masses" and invested in State-run services) and America, which "put its faith in the [intellectual] elites", is striking.

		It may surprise Peregrine Worsthorne (Letters, October 19) to know that for many of us discretion is a way of life due, in part, to the real threat of hostility and violence.
		If homophobia is on the wane, it is because of the courage of those lesbians and gay men who have insisted on the right to live their lives openly and without shame.
		Peregrine Worsthorne (and what a name sir, I salute your parents) seems to feel that homosexuals are somehow getting away with "letting it all hang out" (Letters, October 24).

	LRB \| Thomas Jones : Short Cuts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In his new book, In Defence of Aristocracy (HarperCollins, £15), the former editor of the Sunday Telegraph sets out, if not to rescue that persecuted class (of which he is 'in part' a member) from extinction, then at least 'to engender a change' in 'the present climate' of anti-toff feeling.
		According to Worsthorne, the decadent, foppish aristocrats of popular imagination, the irresponsible hedonists to be found in Vile Bodies or Chips Channon's interwar diaries, are an outrageous and wholly inaccurate caricature.
		Worsthorne is evasive, or at least ambiguous, about the extent to which membership of the aristocracy is determined by blood (or genes, if you prefer).

	The Vision Of The Peregrine Worsthorne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		notes: Sir Peregrine Worsthorne is apparently a right-wing political commentator in England, and formerly the editor of the Sunday Telegraph.
		Peregrine Worsthorne was and possibly is still a respectable Tory journalist.
		I picked on him mostly because of his name, I must admit, since it sounds like something out of the eighteenth century.

	Oliver Kamm: "A true conservative speaks"
		Worsthorne maintains that, with Western powers urging the global promotion of democracy, "Muslim paranoia in such circumstances is scarcely surprising".
		Worsthorne's method of doing so, however - the balancing, in the interests of order, of the liberal's deep belief in a free society with the believer's ancient transcendental truths - is fundamentally misconceived.
		Worsthorne himself wrote a squib of a book a couple of years ago called In Defence of Aristocracy.

	My Day at the Seaside
		Later, Worsthorne was to rise to the editorship of the Sunday Telegraph, where, with the likes of Colin Welch, Cowling, Auberon Waugh and Peter Utley in his baggage train, he presided over an epicentre of Tory reaction, which in itself was more than anything an anarchic assault upon the modern world.
		With painful anticipation (this, remember, is that unfortunate year for the French, 1954) Worsthorne uses US policy in Asia as a case in point, that her new responsibilities as a power were delimiting whatever moral suasion she had had previously.
		Just wait, just wait – for as Worsthorne further observes, believing that America will never produce a tinpot Metternich of her own, 'with American cynicism as with her idealism, there would be no half-measures once the idea really caught on'.

		In the main, though, Worsthorne’s sense of an aristocracy of a Jeffersonian kind (“The grounds of this are virtue and talent …”) seems to me very sound.
		Here Worsthorne is much more defensive and apologetic than he need have been, though perhaps that was a condition of getting a book published.

		Sir Peregrine makes out a powerful case for believing that the decency of British public life was based on the fact that a ruling elite, from 1689 until living memory, occupied the positions of authority here.
		For just as in the 18th and 19th centuries the bourgeoisie were persuaded to take the ideal of aristocracy as their model, so in the 20th century were the aspiring members of the working class inspired to do likewise.'
		But, she considered the exodus of the absentee landlords shameful, so she gave up her social life in London and 'moved to Dynely where she gave over her life to good works — running the local Girl Guides, sitting on the county council and on the Bench, and reviving the Townely chapel in Burnley'.

	Where editors hang (and fall) out
		Worsthorne was not impressed by Trelford's explanation that all he had done was go with the lady to the opening of a night club.
		For years I was convinced that "Peregrine Worsthorne" was not a real person at all but the sobriquet of a collective of retired Polish cavalry officers.
		Mr Worsthorne's belief that editors should behave in a decorous and responsible manner stems from a belief that they exercise political power.

	BBC News \| EDUCATION \| Pupils suspended for swearing
		The former editor of the Sunday Telegraph, Sir Peregrine Worsthorne, agrees that swearing is becoming more common.
		It is part of a culture which says instead of emulating the habits and language of the top class, you show your goodwill to the bottom class or gutter by copying the habits and language of that group," he said.
		For Peregrine Worsthorne, an increase in swearing is a sign that the language is being 'dumbed down'.

		Sir Peregrine Worsthorne, 79, is one of the most distinguished and outspoken editors of recent times -- he worked at the Daily Telegraph between 1953 and 1961 and for 28 years at the Sunday Telegraph between 1961 and 1989, spending five years as deputy editor and three as editor.
		In this passionately argued and highly original essay Worsthorne forcefully demonstrates the shallowness of those who would celebrate the abolishment of hereditary peers in the House of Lords.

		Former CND officials Marjorie Thompson and Claire McMaster generously invite us (Letters, 21 September) to endorse Sir Peregrine Worsthorne's renunciation of the principle of nuclear deterrence.
		At inordinate length, Sir Peregrine, who played no significant role in the fight against CND, arrogantly misrepresents the position of those who did.
		All the other points made by Sir Peregrine can similarly be refuted, for all were debated ad nauseam at the time.

	Mark Steyn: Tory Toffs Call it Wrong (British Conservative Party, or UK branch of US Democrats?) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The obvious difference between my kind of conservatives and, say, Sir Peregrine’s is that mine are in power and his aren’t, a distinction likely to endure for the foreseeable future.
		To be sure, there are prominent American conservatives who are a little queasy about Bush’s plan to liberate the entire world whether it wants it or not, and several of the colossi from the first Bush administration had misgivings about the whole Iraq business from the get-go.
		It's just as I said: given a name like "Sir Peregrine Worsthorne", the man is pulled into being out of nothing by the Wodehouse effect; of course he believes those things, if he believed anything else he wouldn't have that name.

		We now have a modernising, classless political consensus consisting of a non-socialist New Labour party and a pro-capitalist New Conservative party, neither of which is much concerned to conserve the historic institutions.
		What began as a reforming movement to abolish class consciousness is, therefore, in danger of ending up as a movement to abolish class conscience.

		The reason why the young and those who want to seem young (like New Labour) get away with this ageist posturing is that many of the old, like the Queen and Peregrine Worsthorne, do have a sense of letting go.
