Just when you've suffered one too many columns by Milne, Steele, Jenkins and co., and decided to switch to the
Times, the latter starts to publish articles that make you think you've leapt from the frying pan into the proverbial fire. First there was Jeanette Winterson, with her Buntingesque
prophecy of secular doom and gloom (see
here and
here). Then along
comes Melanie Reid to endorse the Archbishop of Canterbury's suggestion that, as a nation, we need to rediscover volunteering. Not only that, she wants to make volunteering
compulsory (spot the flawed logic there?). Looks like
Brownian paternalism is spreading. (
