Peter Hitchens is a prominent and trenchant conservative writer. But as a young man, he was a deeply committed Trotskyist. Dominic Lawson talks to him about how and why his political views have changed over the years, and whether in fact his old and new beliefs have something in common. "Why I Changed My Mind" is a series in which Dominic explores how and why prominent individuals have modified their views on controversial topics. Producer: Martin Rosenbaum.
