Edit: contrary to easy guesses, the Cockburn that will be most familiar to the readers of the Spectator is not Andrew, the third brother, but a pseudonym inspired by Admiral Sir George Cockburn (see https://thespectator.com/uncategorized/real-cockburn/ https://thespectator.com/uncategorized/real-cockburn/ ), incidentally related to the family of journalists.
