  • How over-protective parents raised an anxious generation | Lenore Skenazy

    How over-protective parents raised an anxious generation | Lenore Skenazy
    Jan 7 2026
    When Lenore Skenazy let her nine-year-old use the New York Subway on his own, she was dubbed ‘America’s Worst Mom’. In our age of safetyism, children are expected to be supervised, monitored and coddled at all times – not left alone to explore the outside world. No generation has ever been so sheltered. And nor has any generation felt so anxious and depressed. Here, Lenore Skenazy – president of Let Grow – makes the case for free-range parenting, for letting kids have some independence from their parents, and toning down the panic over ‘stranger danger’.

    ‘The police have imbibed the activist worldview’ | Ex-officer Paul Birch
    Dec 9 2025
    ‘The police have imbibed the activist worldview’ | Ex-officer Paul Birch Arrests in Britain for social-media posts have soared by 58 per cent since 2019. Meanwhile, actual crimes like burglary or assault are only rarely pursued or solved. Here, Paul Birch – former Metropolitan Police officer and counter-terrorism specialist – explains why the police became so obsessed with tackling so-called thoughtcrime. Social-justice activism, he says, is now fully institutionalised, warping police priorities and ensuring a two-tier approach to justice.
