Curse of Toynbee

I like to think that posts on this blog are well-considered and thoughtful ruminations on issues of the day – which is perhaps why readership figures have been so low lately.

So some readers, especially younger ones who don't read the Guardian, may have puzzled by my wild-eyed denunciation of one of that newspapers best-known columnists in yesterday's post. I would encourage them to follow this link to see the curse of Toynbeeism at its worst and this excellent deconstruction of it by the world's favourite Liberal Democrat blogger.

Socialism is a creed adopted because it means they have great importance in it.
