If transgenderism were only about slightly eccentric blokes wanting to dress up as women – what in a more enlightened age was called transvestism – or the odd troubled soul convinced that they’re mentally the opposite sex, born into the “wrong” body (transsexualism), hardly anyone would care. But transgenderism, an altogether
Facebook got all high and mighty and banned crypto currency advertisments to look after their users, who obviously could not possibly think for themselves. Facebook has said it will block any advertising promoting crypto-currency products and services. The company said it was open to emerging technologies but many companies were
It’s hard to deny that a push is in action within the political and media left to remove Jeremy Corbyn from power before the next UK general election – which, given the mind-bogglingly inept governance of Teresa May and her party, could be any time. In anything other than a

Anti-Semitism is so hot, right now. The political left is obsessed with hating the Jewish state with fanatical zeal. Even the BBC is starting to notice that the British Labour party has a bit of a problem with “the Jews”. Immigration New Zealand notoriously erased Israel from its map. It
Greens veteran Bob Brown has suddenly discovered that he isn’t that keen on wind farms after all. After years of sneering at we the Luddites, who objected to the ugly, “bat-chomping bird-slicing eco-crucifixes”, the announcement of plans to build a colossal wind farm in Tasmania has had a galvanising
You almost have to feel sorry for new Labor leader Anthony Albanese. Taking the Opposition leadership after an election defeat is a poisoned chalice at the best of times. To be immediately thrown into a death-struggle with Labor’s union power-brokers is almost more than any new leader should be
It seems that there’s no nanny-state soapbox too pointless that local councils can’t work themselves up into a virtue-signalling lather about it. Once upon a time, ratepayers laboured under the impression that the role of local councils was to see to it that the rubbish was collected, local
By John Not a day goes by without the publication of an illogical rant by some unhinged politician of the Left. These poor deluded creatures, deceived by their own beliefs, are only succeeding in making themselves the laughing stock of normal thinking people. Unfortunately, much of what they have to
