This is an important article and needs more wide spread coverage- can you not get it in the spectator, unheard or the critic? Or even a mainstream media outlet
Your remarks about colonialism reminded me of an exchange I had with a historian on twitter who had just posted a hostile review of Nigel Biggar's book on the subject. I queried his assigning 'bad faith' to all British colonialists. His response was: "I'm afraid one can't lord over natives while simultaneously feeling good about oneself without a bad faith prophylactic." This applies pretty well to most of our institutions and NGOs now I'd say.
