Until 1982 he was a member of Socialistisk Arbejderparti. In the late 1980s he was editor of the left-liberal daily Dagbladet Information, later he was a columnist for the conservative daily Berlingske Tidende. Today he uses Marxist social analysis. In 2004 he founded, as a counterpoint to the Danish PEN, the Trykkefrihedsselskabet ( Society for Freedom of the Press ).

He criticized that the frequently banned organization Hizb ut- Tahrir, which called for armed resistance against Scandinavian soldiers in Afghanistan, among other things, can continue to develop freely in Denmark.

He also stood behind the Muhammad cartoons published in 2005.
