The Critic  |  October 2021
In the October issue of The Critic, the magazine of ideas for open-minded readers, Frank Furedi discovers schools that instruct children to loathe the values of their parents’ generation, Christopher Silvester examines what is taught in Black History Month, and the novelist Lionel Shriver discusses the literary abuse she receives for questioning “cultural appropriation”. Melanie Newman uncovers the surprising criteria that social workers use to separate children from their parents, Joshua Rozenberg explains why Britain’s extradition treaty surrenders far more Britons to face charges in the United States than Americans to Britain, Christopher Hitchens recalls the hard-drinking days of the Fleet Street industrial correspondent and Patrick Porter and Tony Blair’s former policy adviser, John McTernan, debate the pullout from Afghanistan and the wisdom of nation-building. Plus all The Critic’s usual columnists — from Norman Lebrecht and Jonathan Meades to Lisa Hilton and D.J. Taylor — dissect, desecrate, and celebrate modern culture at home and abroad.
