A question bugged me: what would I say if I met the talented Mr Kwarteng? Here’s how that turned out | Nels Abbey

Kwasi Kwarteng is best described as “different” in a manner unlike anyone I think I have met before.

He is the usual cocktail of upper-middle-class rightwing Black conservatism: contrarian, assertive, stubborn, seemingly confused in places and about their place.

But there was an added serving of eccentricity that makes him unique from many of his peers.

He is far from a sympathetic figure, but then I doubt he seeks sympathy. Or even camaraderie. We bade each other farewell and left the studio for our cars: me heading to the office, him, I guess, looking for a route back to respectability. He’ll need a lot of luck and a really good satnav. - Nels Abbey is an author and broadcaster.
