Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley Biography

Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 14, 1952 in United Kingdom. Monckton is the oldest child of Major General Gilbert Monckton, 2nd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley (1915-2006) as well as Marianna Letitia (nee Bower), former High Sheriff of Kent and Lady from Malta (born 1929). Monckton has three brothers: Timothy, Jonathan and Anthony and a sister Rosa she is the wife of reporter Dominic Lawson.

Monckton was in 1979 when he met Alfred Sherman, who co-founded the think tank pro-conservative called named the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) together with Margaret Thatcher and Keith Joseph in 1974. Sherman requested Monckton to record notes at CPS’s study meetings. Monckton was later appointed secretary of the centre’s economic forward strategy study, health and employment groups. Monckton wrote a study about the privatisation and privatisation of council housing through the through a rent-to mortgage scheme which led to his being the subject of being noticed by Downing Street. Ferdinand Mount, the head of the Number 10 Policy Unit and an ex- CPS director was the one who introduced Monckton to the Policy Unit in 1982. Monckton was hired as a domestic expert with the responsibility of parliamentarian and housing issues as well as working with Mount as well as Peter Shipley on projects such as the gradual elimination from council homes. The unit was closed in 1986 and joined The Today newspaper.

In a 1987 article for The American Spectator, “AIDS: A British View”, Monckton argued “there is only one way to stop AIDS. That is to screen the entire population regularly and to quarantine all carriers of the disease for life. Every member of the population should be blood-tested every month … all those found to be infected with the virus, even if only as carriers, should be isolated compulsorily, immediately, and permanently.” This would involve isolating between 1.5 and 3 million people in the United States (“not altogether impossible”) and another 30,000 people in the UK (“not insuperably difficult”). The article concluded that current Western sensibilities would not allow this standard protocol for containing a new, fatal and incurable infection to be applied: therefore, he said, many would needlessly die. Andrew Ferguson, then assistant managing editor of The American Spectator, denounced it in the letters column of the same issue. Monckton appeared on the BBC’s Panorama programme in February 1987 to discuss his views and present the results of an opinion poll that found public support for his position. Monckton has since stated “the article was written at the very outset of the AIDS epidemic, and with 33 million people around the world now infected, the possibility of [quarantine] is laughable. It couldn’t work.” He also said that this standard protocol could have worked at the time; that senior HIV investigators had called for it; and that many of the lives that have been lost could have been saved.

In 1988, Eddy Shah: Today and the Newspaper Revolution described Monckton as “a fervent, forthright and opinionated Roman Catholic Tory” who has been closely associated with the “New Right” faction of the Conservative Party. In 1997, Monckton criticised works at the Fotofeis (the Scottish International Festival of Photography) and Sensation as “feeble-minded, cheap, pitiable, exploitative sensationalism perpetrated by the talent-free and perpetuated by over-funded, useless, muddle-headed, middle-aged, pot-bellied, brewer’s-droopy quangoes which a courageous Government would forthwith cease to subsidise with your money and mine.”

Monckton attended Harrow School and Churchill College, Cambridge, where he earned an B.A. (Classics, 1974, now M.A. ) as well as (Classics, 1974; now M.A. ), and at University College, Cardiff, where he received a diploma for journalism education. He was married in 1990. got married to Juliet Mary Anne Malherbe Jensen.
