An insightful and thoughtfully delivered lecture spoken with politeness and consideration . A true statesman of our age , but sadly a lone voice in an ever changing world . His reference to democracy as a fragile and easily lost is very profound and so true , but as they say all things must pass . I for one will morn it’s passing .

Lord Sumption continues his eloquent and insightful lecture series. A true statesman

Good to see someone with the order of the british empire obe speaks up

[@iandougall7169]

Brilliant man. If only our prominent public figures had an ounce of his logic, objectivity and clarity

It's a great shame that more people haven't commented here. I hope people have taken this to heart. I guess most people watching would be on the same page but I fear his words are prescient for the future and that we will in so many years be seeing a very different kind of society in most western countries and not I fear for the better. I wish people would take more interest politics and wake up from their slumber.

No doubt His Lordship was wondering when he'd be required to start.

After 10 minutes of intros, someone says "without further ado...." So what counts as "with ado" in Brisbane??!

[@therightangle6033]

The crucial word is "further", nothing mentioned about "ado so far'

Hassanji callow, snide comments like your summarises what is wrong with the world. people's value judged purely by their background, name, achievements, colour, or religion
