Ended up being pleasantly surprised by this piece by Rory Stewart (talking about UK politics), who had previously come across as well meaning but ultimately un-aware of the colonialist undertones of his writing.

Any time the UK Gov wades into a situation that needs some sort of appreciation for a bigger picture and a little bit of a nuanced approach, it's like watching a toddler walk through the crockery department of a department store. You know it's going to go wrong and it's not even fun watching.
