No Shockwaves Here

Jenny Jones is a good Brexiteer even if Harriet Harman isn't, but they have wanted a curfew on men for 50 years. Today's renewed demands are as opportunistic as the interventions of Shaun Bailey.

In any case, Jones and Harman are of course hoist on their own petard. I could now self-identify as a woman and go about my business at any hour of day or night without any further ado. The Greens and the Blairites wanted this. I didn't, and I don't. But here we are.

Cressida Dick is another one. And it looks as if one of hers may have killed a middle-class white person in the South, so all hell has broken loose. If he had stuck to murdering black boys, or miners, or 96 Scouse football fans in one afternoon, then nothing at all would have happened. If he had pumped a Brazilian full of lead at a Tube station, then he would have been made Commissioner.

"It's a pity that only one them can lose," as Henry Kissinger may or may not have said about the Iran-Iraq War. Someone first said it, and no doubt a lot longer ago than the 1980s. It is by far my favourite saying.

Wayne Couzens versus Jess Phillips, Thomas Mair and the Swinton Circle versus Brendan Cox and the Jo Cox Foundation, Marjorie Taylor Greene versus Kamala Harris, Marine Le Pen versus Emmanuel Macron, David Irving versus Deborah Lipstadt, the same old DUP versus the repainted Sinn Féin. It's a pity that only one them can lose.
