It has been my habit, dearest reader, to produce the occasional, lengthy piece de-constructing the latest ludicrousness committed in the name of Culture War. No more. Because of late, the ludicrosity has come so fast, so thick, that the considered takedown is redundant.

No sooner have we turned to face one ideological assault, than we find ourselves beset from behind by another. The barbarians are within the gates; the rats are in the kitchen; and, for the foreseeable future, the nasty party are back and in power.

Today i look at the erasure of women, the complicity of the UK media, and the rise of hypocrisy.
