Christopher Booker (born 1938) is an English journalist and editor. He was a founding editor of Private Eye at the height of the British Satire Boom ; he was forced out in the magazine's early days by Richard Ingrams. In the late 1960s he wrote The Neophiliacs, a critical review of the media response to the cultural changes of the period 1954-1964, and one of the first books on the decade to take a 'disabused' line.
He has pursued a journalistic career, particularly with anti-EU commentary, as a columnist.
