His father, a sociologist, created the term 'meritocracy.' The son defined 'demeritocracy.' He's the kind of man you might enjoy having dinner with, but you wouldn't risk staying for dessert.

He is the son of a baron, could legally call himself 'the Honorable,' studied at Oxford, Harvard and Cambridge, went on to become Britain's favorite drunk since Jeffrey Bernard and was described by Private Eye magazine as looking like 'a peeled quail's egg dipped in celery salt.'

If I were a producer, I would hire security to keep him away from my opening nights or any other nights. He is currently back in London as drama critic for the Spectator. Young went on to fail sensationally as a writer for Vanity Fair and as a Hollywood screenwriter.
