I don’t mean to depress or demotivate but I am saying: this is what we’ve always been up against. If there’s a whiff of even minor backsliding on the Thatcherite Revolution, it will be straight back to daily all-channels Jihads of white-hot hate, for however long it takes to get Badenoch/Farage in.

The obsession with trans women in women’s changing rooms seems to take up a lot of the media space that could be used to highlight cis male sexual abusers - but the concerns over them are usually only of interest when they are dead after a lifetime of praise

When the answer to the question “How do we fix this?” is “Jail most of your ruling class in disgrace and make repeats imprisonable offences”, it can be surprisingly difficult for important people to recognise the correct path.
