Charles Moore (Journalist)Charles Moore (born October 31, 1956) is a former editor of the Daily Telegraph (1995-2003). He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge where he studied history. He has previously been editor of The Spectator (1984-90) and Sunday Telegraph (1992-95). He has come under critisism for his nationalist views, epitomised by the following comment made in The Spectator: "Britain is basically English-speaking and Christian and white, and if one starts to think that it might become Urdu-speaking and Muslim and brown, one gets frightened and angry. Next door to me lives a large family of Muslims from the Indian sub-continent. We are friendly enough to one another and they have done us various small acts of kindness. During the Gulf war, however, I heard their morning prayers coming through the wall, and I felt a little uneasy. If such people had outnumbered whites in our square, I should have felt alarmed. Such feelings are not only natural, surely - they are right. You ought to have a sense of your identity, and part of that sense derives from your nation and your race."
