That same test applies to recognizing biological reality, acknowledging that men and women are different, that there are only two genders, and that biological males have no place competing in women’s sports.
These aren’t partisan issues. They’re foundational truths.
And the radical left has failed every one of them.
“padding-left: 40px”>Second, Iran and Israel are not moral equivalents. Israel is a vibrant democracy that protects women and minorities and encourages them to vote, speak and dissent. In Iran women are brutalised by a theocratic dictatorship. Their ability to travel and work is restricted. They are beaten for showing their hair. Tortured for asking questions. Executed for demanding freedom.
Anyone who can’t see the difference between a liberal democracy and a terrorist regime needs to spend less time on social media and more time understanding reality….
Support for Israel is not about sentiment. It’s about security, sovereignty and survival. We stand with Israel because it shares our values. Because it defends itself against terrorists who have their sights on us, too. Because if we don’t stand with democracies under attack, we embolden those who hate everything we stand for. And what we see now is a weak UK emboldening its enemies.
The attack on Israel is part of a broader assault on Western values. An assault on free, democratic countries from an axis of authoritarian states. Their fight is our fight.
Coming soon, on a placard near you:
This is a step too far. The genocide of Iran's innocent nuclear weapons grade uranium enrichment facilities must stop.

y, even as you read these words, are being abused by ethnic clans operating in this country. Fail to act now, and this is on you.
fade when one considers that was written by the second most senior police officer in Scotland. Barely a moment’s thought has gone into it: Ritchie cannot possibly mean what he thinks he means, because anybody who reflected for even a moment would soon realise that being one’s “true and authentic self” is the last thing that should be encouraged in psychopaths, sexual predators, kleptomaniacs, exhibitionists, delinquents, misogynists, racists, paedophiles, arsonists, people who watch TikTok videos on public transport without headphones, or indeed even people who just aren’t very nice….
The BBC is so utterly enthralled to gender ideology that it took a brave newsreader to correct the teleprompter instruction to say ‘pregnant people’ by instead saying ‘women’ afterwards.

ze: 11pt”>Radicalisation is a deceptive and manipulative framing because recognising the existence of physiological differences between men and women isn’t radicalism, it’s biology. Fry has repeatedly professed his distaste for the gender wars and refused to engage on the substance. For all his donnish affectations, he’s a ‘be kind’ merchant whose contribution to the debate is every bit as vacuous as those Insta mums who pose with a Pride Progress flag in front of their ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ wall canvas every 1 June.
Yet were Fry to take heed of what the gender ideology vanguard say, he might grasp that their use of ‘radicalisation’ is projection. For if you’ve convinced yourself that men become women by declaring themselves to be so, that women corseting themselves in chest binders or having healthy breasts amputated is sound therapeutic care, that children should be offered medical and even surgical interventions to mutilate their bodies – and, yes, this is what the vanguard believes – then you should stop and ask who exactly has been radicalised here.
I get the impression Fry is someone who likes to be liked. That perhaps prompted his outburst in the first place: the desire to be seen as having the right sort of views by the "luvvie" dinner party crowd. To be "clubbable". I wonder if he's regretting it now. As well as reeking of misogyny – it does feel as though he really wanted to say "hysterical" but restrained himself just in time – his remarks come at a time when the climate of opinion is changing and the excesses of gender ideology are finally being rolled back.
It's like the Simone Biles case. There could hardly be two people more different than Fry and Biles, but both have come out recently with sudden out-of-the-blue ad hominem attacks against prominent gender critics. In Biles' case it was Riley Gaines, the US campaigner against men in women's sport.
Oliver Brown in the Telegraph – How Simone Biles turned trans activist – and trashed her reputation:
The message was blunt, blistering and wildly off-brand. Simone Biles, the transcendent gymnast whose gravity-defying routines have been appointment viewing at the past three Olympics, needed just one social media post to shred her wholesome image in the most jarring fashion.
Railing against Riley Gaines, the former swimmer who has campaigned vigorously to keep biological males out of women’s sport, she wrote on X: “Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.” With that crass drive-by shot, she definitively affirmed the old Warren Buffett maxim of it taking 20 years to build a reputation and just five minutes to ruin it.
At least Biles, unlike Fry, wasn't trashing an old friend.

This week the US Supreme Court upheld the right of Tennessee to ban such treatments for minors, which will strengthen existing bans in 25 other states. In Britain, thanks to the courage of whistleblowing medics and gender critical feminists, this was accomplished some years back via the Cass review. But in America, as the New York Times puts it, “the LGBTQ movement drove itself towards a cliff — and took the Democratic Party with it”. Since US liberals doubled down, championing mastectomies for 14-year-old girls and cheering on boys stealing female track medals, it was left to the Maga movement to grab the easy popular, political win. But, of course, Trump didn’t stop at reversing extreme gender policies — he has also ripped up basic rights, such as cruelly banning trans people from serving in the military.
Biden left an open goal. Of course Trump took advantage.
“Good” people need to grip harder, be braver, embrace complexity over slogans, stop Tippexing out the truth. Thoughtful Muslims, such as Baroness Warsi, should investigate the cultural and religious reasons towns such as Dewsbury, where she grew up, have produced rings of Pakistani men who pimp out poor white girls. Democrats could defend women’s sports and oppose the baseless mutilation of minors. Because when they don’t, as Baroness Casey says, the “bad” people can’t wait to do it for them.
I'm not sure, from what I've seen of her, that I'd call Baroness Warsi "thoughtful". Still, yes…
From a comment:
When difficult issues – grooming gangs, uncontrolled migration – are handled with denial or euphemism a political vacuum opens up. And into that vacuum step those less concerned with nuance. Historian Tom Holland has noted that the most sensitive issue is not ethnicity, but religion: the fact that ISIS justified sexual slavery by citing early Islamic texts is deeply uncomfortable – yet undeniably part of the context. When mainstream parties sidestep such realities, they hand ready ammunition to populists. What begins as moral squeamishness ends in political forfeiture. Reform isn’t polling well because its ideas are better – it’s because too many others stopped talking.
The story of the grooming gangs is the story of predominantly Muslim men in northern towns. Labour's answer to this? A law against "Islamophobia":
Angela Rayner is accused of wanting to secretly drive through a definition of Islamophobia that could make it harder to discuss grooming gangs.
The Deputy Prime Minister has appointed a working group to come up with a definition to be used across government.
It is chaired by Dominic Grieve, the former Tory Cabinet minister, who has praised a 2019 study that called the discussion of “grooming gangs” an example of “anti-Muslim racism”.
