PETER HITCHENS: I no longer recognise this country. This is the exact moment we gave in to madness
For several days now I have been living in a country I do not recognise. Everywhere I turn it is assumed – especially on TV and radio – that I ought to be fiercely interested in women's football and in the death of someone called Ozzy Osbourne. I am not. I am of course sorry for the loss of the Osbourne family, as I am for all bereaved persons. But I had never knowingly listened to his, er, work before he died. And now I have been more or less forced to do so, I will try never to listen to it again.
