The culture war is a power struggle for institutions
However tedious the battle is, conservatives cannot sit by while the Left replaces tradition with chaos
1 March 2021 • 6:00am
There is a glaring contradiction in the Government’s culture strategy. The same day Gavin Williamson announced that student unions could be fined for shutting down free speech, Oliver Dowden warned heritage groups that they can’t use public money to pursue political campaigns. But isn’t discouraging, say, the National Trust from talking about slavery a violation of free speech?
Of course it is, but the culture war isn’t about free speech and never was - that’s what both sides say to appear even-handed. In reality, the war is about power. Who controls institutions and what they do with it. Unless you’re willing to fight, and use every trick in the book to win, you’ll get rolled over.

The BBC’s pursuit of class politics shows its contempt for the masses
The corporation is right to woo the working classes – but it may not like the way they think
BBC Director General Tim Davie
The BBC is setting targets again. Under Tim Davie, its new Diversity and Inclusion plan, mandating that there be 50 per cent women, at least 20 per cent BAME and at least 12 per cent disabled employees in the BBC workforce, now has, for the first time, class in its sights.
Given the way in which “identity” has been pitted against economic class in recent years, with the new moralists battling the old left, you might be forgiven for thinking this is a positive step. However, is this really the direction we want to take, with each “segment” of the population being represented by its “own culture”, replicated by people of the “same” background?

The last book I read was
Mistress of the Ritz by Melanie Benjamin, which takes place during the German occupation of Paris. And Ronan Farrow’s book
Catch and Kill. I also enjoyed
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, and
Stoned: Jewelry, Obsession, and How Desire Shapes the World by Aja Raden a must-read for anyone in the jewelry business. But my absolute favorite TV is escapism, and I’ve already watched all the episodes twice of
The Durrells in Corfu, based on Gerald Durrell’s trilogy,
