Yesterday I had a short piece published in The Critic on the new report by Lord Walney on political extremism.
The Critic added the sub-heading 'vital but flawed' as a description of Walney - you can read his report here, and my view is on their site. I think it is great we are having these debates, and some of Walney - for example on schools and blasphemy - is encouraging. But a large part of the problem in Batley simply came down to the school, local Labour party, and the teachers union, not having the strength of their supposed convictions to say 'No' to those who picketed the school. Until that happens, these debates will always be lost.
A pdf of the review is below.
