The replacement of the word 'sex' by 'gender' may be a product of random slovenliness, though I suspect intelligent design on the part of leftists and their LGBTQI allies. Whatever its provenance, it has contributed to foolish thinking. Let’s take the trouble, politely of course, to correct those who maul the language

Republican presidents are always demonised by the Left but this time, with this president, it is different. The hate is palpable, extreme and unremitting, the depths unfathomable to which his enemies will descend in order to stitch him up with this bogus conspiracy or that one. Yet, with an aplomb not seen outside a superhero comic, he pummels them left and right

You can’t say 'coloured people' but must use the curious locution 'people of colour'. At the same time, strangely enough, 'black people' and 'white people' remain de rigueur. People of 'whiteness' or of 'blackness' we do not say. Presumably because it sounds ugly. Give it time

The liberal elite deal in two currencies. Advocating open borders, for example, is a neat way of distinguishing oneself from the parochialism of the deplorably unenlightened. And second, they offer false choices. Don't believe in solar rorts and wind scams? By their definition you must want the planet to fry, which it isn't and won't

Climateers are forever fretting about their 'tipping point', when it is said warming will become unstoppable. But look at my graph and you will see, comfortingly, how temperatures since 2008 have behaved as you would expect if the CO2 greenhouse effect were dwindling.

'These are the events leading to my unjust and cruel incarceration. Everyone who mattered considered my sole accuser to be credible, and the mere appearance of being credible has been enough to find me culpable. I plead my case to those in the world still possessed of common sense and decency'

Surely it is wrong to incarcerate someone because a single complainant 'looks convincing', particularly in circumstances where the alleged offences took place decades ago and, to boot, in the most improbable of circumstances. George Pell's last hope for justice now resides with the High Court

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the three fellow members of her virulently anti-Israel 'Squad' represent a growing breed of leftist politicians in America, the UK and Europe. They despise Western civilisation and are out to pull it down. Their admirers, while yet more subdued in Australia, are getting louder and stronger

Just as we embraced 'deplorables', so must any conservative with an ounce of integrity and courage embrace being far right. The spectrum has moved so far left in our institutions, in our media, in our corporate world, that I have become far right by default. For that I offer no apology, and neither should you
