The New Culture Forum

[SpudHead]

Douglas Murray of the Centre for Social Cohesion for continuously fighting for Western civilisation and attacking the encroachment of Islamic fundamentalism into British society, see such reports as the following to see why he deserves such an award: http://www.socialcohesion.co.uk/pdf/HateOnTheState.pdf

[Dawn Steeves]

Peter Whittle for his weekly programme Culture Clash and starting the New Culture Forum.

Douglas Murray for founding the Centre for Social Cohesion.

[Sally Roberts]

Jeremy Hunt who has been doing some excellent work in his role as Shadow Culture Minister.

I'd nominate Michael Mosbacher at the Social Affairs Unit. While the SAU isn't remotely party-political, at the same time, its publishing programme and blog provide an environment in which conservative thought (of all shades) is treated as normal and mainstream - no small achievement.

This might seem like a long shot but I think the staff at 'Talk Sport' radio have been very good at redressing the balance. Athough Galloway does have a slot on the station, most of the other presenters are clearly Conservative leaning. I particularly like James Whale's relentless attacks on the BBC and I've heard people get onto the radio phone-in's and speak without being cut-off in the name of political correctness.
