Hi Amanda,

Is this one Œanti-left¹? Looks to me more like an attempt to claim the
position of the Œtrue left¹ against a current, as Emma Dawson would have it
Œdegraded¹, academic form. She¹s certainly Œanti-theory¹, but I wonder
whether a different kind of response is called for in cases like these than
to a Bolt or Windschuttle. It is not nice being attacked in public, but
isn¹t this really someone we should be trying to talk around, find common
ground with ...?
