The Critic | January 2021
he Critic's January/February issue - 112 pages of ideas (and diversions) for open-minded readers. Our Contra-Woke special: Andrew Doyle on how Titania McGrath got him cancelled; Nick Cohen on how Social Justice Warriors are using the instruments of the state they profess to abhor to silence their opponents; Michael Collins on how the BBC are a New Class; Bruce Gilley on how to stop bad ideas from academia spreading outside universities; David Starkey on not toppling St Paul's Pantheon; and Clive Aslet on the joys of eating with Rex Whistler's soon to be cancelled Tate murals.
Turning to the United States, Bartle Bull argues that Donald Trump — for all his many domestic flaws — has been most effective foreign policy President since Reagan and Oliver Wiseman shows that money has not been all it was cracked up to be in American politics. At home, our diverse reporting includes Alexander Larman on the sacking of the libraries and Josephine Bartosch on the rise of sexbots. Former museum supremo Charles Saumarez Smith asks why today's museum directors have lost faith in their institutions' mission.
