Snapshots from our mad, mad, mad, mad world this weekend...

Bit of Background: Jess Phillips is the Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley. Nadeem Ahmed is a Momentum Corbynite. First came this:

Which was followed two days later by this:

The National Trust's climbdown on gay badges is a temporary setback for the forces of Progressivism - which never rest, never sleep

'Dame' Helen Ghosh has been stymied in her attempt to punish National Trust volunteers who refuse to wear pro-Gay rainbow lanyards by forbidding them contact with the public. This is very good news. The former civil servant's tenure as director-general of the organisation is due to end soon in any case: she's due to take over as Master of Balliol College next March, where she will no doubt busy herself rooting out anything tainted by custom, tradition or common sense. After all, this is the woman who attempted to ban the word "Easter" from the the annual Cadbury's/National Trust Easter egg race. She can now tinker and busybody away to her heart's content overseeing a vital section of Britain's educational assembly-line, whose main purpose these days appears to be churning out yet more self-righteous fools to further swell the ranks of left-liberal elite social engineers determined to rewire our brains and our instincts...

Pass the sick-bag, Alice! More social media madness - and something for the weekend...

It did indeed...

Sunday's Comic Cuts... aka "We really are going to Hell in a Handcart"

Feeling safer already...

It's too hot to think, let alone write anything, so here's the result of another lazy trawl...

Saturday's Comic Cuts...

Hereditary peerage for Telegraph pocket cartoonist Matt Ridley. Now. This instant...

This deserves a round of applause...

Unlike yesterday's so-called revolutionary Day of Rage, which deserved this reaction:

The best and worst of Twitter in a time of madness

It's too hot to write anything, so here's a round-up of appalling, amusing and sensible tweets posted in the last few days, starting with revolutionary socialist, Diane Abbott, slamming the privileged elite:

...which is no doubt why her party wants to shut down all private schools. Meanwhile, the woman who was almost Home Secretary - and still might be - views terrorist attacks on Muslims as "terror attacks", while terrorist attacks by Muslims are merely "incidents":

Well done, you men - you 6% bias in favour of the Tories saved us! The other most significant statistic, I think, is this one:

Different ways of losing - Andy Murray v. Theresa May

Feeling a trifle shell-shocked this afternoon, following a sleepless night - and unwilling to subject myself to any more ghastly political news - I sat and watched the French Open semi-final between Andy "Churckles"  Murray and Stan "Strong like Bull" Wawrinka. Wowsers. One of the greatest matches I've ever seen. Murray edged the first set, Stan struck back in the second, Murray sneaked the third - against pretty much any other player, Murray would have won in four or five sets: he has an impressive five-set record, being a bloody-minded Scot and all. The only doubt in my mind arose from the fact that Wawrinka has this knack of - every now and then - suddenly...

"To think that people like you ruled a country."

And to think that "people" like these might be running it on Friday morning:

I wonder what this left-wing journalist have said if they'd been Tory or UKIP supporters, rather than Labourites

Spot the sleight of hand here? It's the graceful glide from...

45 years on, and the Hard Left is still banging on about gypsies and travellers!

When I were a lad at t'college, many of my friends were members of the Cambridge University Labour Club (or Association - I forget which). This was because the two most charismatic members of our "gang" were student politicians, rather than because the rest of us were particularly left-wing. I wasn't much into politics, and what beliefs I had were distinctly right-wing, but the Labour Club was where all the action was - that was where, in terms of the university, the big political ideas of the day were being thrashed out by the humongously self-important politicians of the not-too-distant future (actually, only one them "made it" - he proved useless). Ted Heath was leading a Tory government at the time (1972-1974), but there was nothing particularly right-wing or conservative about him or his party. Socialism had, essentially, won: the question wasn't whether Britain was going to be a right-wing or left-wing country - it was a matter of how left-wing it was going to be. That wasn't the reason I hung around with lefties and pseudo-lefties: it was because the Labour Club was the focus of a fun...

Diane Abbott has come bottom of the Maths class. Again. BBC headmistress Jo Coburn is furious.

Britain's left-wing comedians quake as they realise "the men are coming up the drive"

Delightful news: the arrogant, lazy bigotry of left-wing metropolitan BBC comics like Marcus Brigstocke and Stewart Lee has led to some members of their audiences outside London booing and walking out of their otherwise rib-tickling stand-up "comedy" gigs, disgusted by the performers' anti-Brexit material. For some reason, the comedians' bewildered bleatings recalled the moment when, during a televised public speech, the vile Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu realised that the vast crowd listening to him in the square below were booing, not cheering, him. But that seemed a bit silly, given that the wretched tyrant in question spent decades murdering and torturing his people, rather than - as in the case of Brigstocke and Lee - using allegedly comic material on a platform provided by left-wing broadcasters to shame, browbeat, bully and embarrass anyone who doesn't share their achingly PC view of the world. So I searched for another analogy...

When are lefties going to realise that they are now the baddies?

You can see where I'm heading with this, right?...
