British Education is in a state of meltdown. Throughout the system, from nursery classes to degree courses, the relationship between teacher and pupil has been undermined, and the idea that children should be taught a body of rules at all, whether  in maths or grammar, is now taboo in many schools.  Systematic instruction has given way to approximations and guesswork.  The result is a rising tide of illiteracy.  Melanie Phillips' devastating book is the inside story of a social debacle.  But the collapse of education is not viewed in isolation.  At the heart of the problem lies cultural and moral relativism, the doctrine that no values can be judged to be any better or worse than any other.  The primary effect, particularly in the last twenty years, is the collapse of the authority of the institutions.  Melanie Phillips sounds a warning and offers a blueprint to restore authority and meaning to society.

Londonistan: How Britain is Creating a Terror State Within

Gibson Square Books Ltd

LONDONISTAN. How Britain is Creating a Terror State Within.

Gibson Square

Years have passed since 7/7. Alarmingly, however, even under Cameron Britain still continues to fan the radicalisation of its society. Britain's pretending to be tough on terrorism, as it continues to look the other way. This refusal to act goes back two decades, when a hub for terror throughout Europe and elsewhere was allowed access to British soil - Londonistan. In "Londonistan", Melanie Phillips interviews key politicians, moderate Muslims, academics and intelligence experts. She uncovers a persistent state of denial by the establishment entrusted with our security, both on the left and right. Hers is an acclaimed and gripping account of the failure of the way in which Britain is handling terrorism, and its own social crises.
