On the one hand it’s all marvellous entertainment. On the other, the curtain has been drawn back and we get to see just how debased and contemptible those in public life now are.

These are people who steer the development of law and policy in the UK. They are either deeply stupid or deliberately malign. In the case of Nicolson it looks like the first. Either gender identity theology has directly attacked their abilities to think rationally, or
Their adherence to it has allowed a stage on which delusion can be paraded. Even men I once admired, such as John Oliver have fallen victim to this. It is like a virus: one that seems to attack the brain.
So no wonder #LawFare isn’t working as I hoped. You can’t pet a dog with rabies or take it for a walk. It’s no longer a creature with the essential qualities of a dog. It’s fascinating but also terrifying.
The @TheBARPod postulated that just as with ‘multiple personality disorder’ we will see a peak and then a trough. I do hope they are right. But this collective delusion seems different. It’s grip on public life seems much more deeply rooted. We will see.
