I have never read any of JK Rowling’s books or seen any of her Harry Potter films. I’m also quite at odds with their political views.
Still, I have full admiration for the author who has once again raised her head above the parapet to support women’s rights against the onslaught of the militant trans lobby.
This week, Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pushed through plans to allow Scots to self-identify their legal sex without medical evidence. This means a 16-year-old without a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria can apply for a gender-recognition certificate after just six months of living in their “acquired gender” – instead of two years.
Hundreds of women protested the change outside the Scottish Parliament and JK supported them by posting a picture of herself in a black T-shirt that read ‘Nicola Sturgeon – noun – destroyer of human rights’.

Sturgeon hit back on Radio 4 Today yesterday, implying that Rowling is not a “true feminist” because she doesn’t advocate for trans rights. The author, in turn, accuses her of behaving like Regina George, the bully from Mean Girls.
Rowling vs. Sturgeon, I know who would win this contest in the court of public opinion. For JK represents the silent majority whose honest views are shamefully – and willfully – ignored by Sturgeon and the Liberal elite in alliance with a brutally aggressive social media minority.
Of course, people are concerned that anyone — perhaps a male sex offender — could identify as a woman after dressing up as one for just a few weeks, and then walk into a women’s locker room without being challenged. Why shouldn’t they be?

JK didn’t have to fight back – she has several millions in the bank and a good place in literary history.
Still, she has thrown herself into the fray and taken on the monstrous activists and thugs. She’s been pilloried, received death threats, canceled by the ungrateful Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe – despite being nothing without her. And yet she fights.
In this awakened world, it takes real courage to stand up against the mob for what you believe in. If only the rest of us had half the courage – courage enough to say to the transmilitants: ‘Expelliarmus!’
Why give lottery money to mermaids?
Following allegations that the charity Mermaids, which helps young people identify as transgender, allegedly issued potentially harmful “breast binders” to girls as young as 13, the National Lottery has suspended a half-million pound donation to the charity .
Well done, but for those of us who play the lottery and believe in good causes, isn’t it rather concerning that they even considered funding mermaids?
- US chess grandmaster Hans Moke Niemann, 19, is accused of cheating more than 100 times. Elon Musk even claims he used a vibration device hidden in “an intimate part of his body” to get help from his trainer. Gives new meaning to the term foul play.
You must be crazy, Frasier
Frasier, one of the highest-grossing comedies of all time, returns with Kelsey Grammer, now heading towards 70 in the lead. Reboots rarely succeed, and Frasier has lost its two most beloved characters – Frasier’s father, Martin, played by John Mahoney, and Eddie, the Jack Russell Terrier – both dead. This sequel has a foot in the grave before it even begins.

- Women are tired of hearing from sexperts advice on how to save our relationships: ditch the leggings and t-shirts, be more seductive around the house cleaning, shopping and doing the kids’ homework – presumably in a black agent provocateur Basque. OK, but men need to stop drooling around in saggy boxers surrounded by beer cans and pizza boxes until the game is over. After all, marriage is a game of two halves.
A womb with a view
Our beloved voice of an angel, Charlotte Church, has turned her talents into creating an eco-friendly, vegan wellness retreat. There we can sing at dawn, chew tofu, build a cave, enjoy silent discos and night forest bathing. To connect with our femininity, we can cuddle in a “womb room” and relax in a “vagina shower” (!). Too bad there is no alcohol – a large vodka would be the only way to survive.

Brad Pitt was acquitted of assault and child molestation charges by the FBI after his ex-wife Angelina Jolie claimed he behaved appallingly toward their children on that 2016 flight from Hell on a private jet.
Didn’t stop her from coming back with more lurid allegations. She now claims Pitt poured beer and wine over the children, choked one of them and attempted to strangle her. He firmly denies all of this.
We all knew leaving wife Jennifer Aniston for Jolie was a mistake. He remarried in haste (and lust) only to do penance in purgatory.
Trouble to Mexico
Mexicans have given the “insensitive and stereotypical” portrayal of their culture a chili reception after Great British Bake Off presenters Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas donned sombreros for Mexican week. When Fielding warned him not to make Mexican jokes, Lucas quipped, “Not even Juan?” Relieve amigos, it’s just a bit of fun and nothing to mess up your tortillas.

Westminster Wars
After the 45p tax debacle, Liz Truss still managed a rousing speech championing her low-tax growth economy. Yet what hope does she have when she faces devious Jackals (led by Michael Gove) determined to destroy her and hand power to Keir Starmer – Jackals secure in their secure seats with massive majorities?
The rail strike, which prevented many from coming to the Tory conference, was a workers own goal.
I’ve been to Brum many times and those who really benefit from conferences work in hotels, bars and restaurants for minimum wage. They usually make a fortune that week – one waitress told me she doubled her wages from tips. The unions have simply robbed the low-income earners they claim to be defending.
Time to help these heroes
Former Staff Sergeant Paul Minter, who has survived tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, has completed a 5,000-mile coastal run around Britain, raising £400,000 for charity Head Up, which supports veterans. He has lost 14 military friends to suicide, including three who took their own lives during his run. It is not enough to salute our brave soldiers, we must help them when they come home. You can donate by going to head-up.org.uk.
How cruel of Sarah, Duchess of York to smack her new Mills & Boon novel by claiming “the Queen was my mother and my wonderful best friend,” adding that Her Majesty personally approved the book before she died, and that it’s a fictionalized version of her own friendship with Princess Diana.
When will this talentless parasite stop feeding on the royal family?
Thanks to the readers who asked why my Moggie Ted hasn’t appeared in the column lately. I was traveling around Ibiza and then got hit with a bad flu – during which time Ted kept meowing and chewing all the fur on his front paws leaving horrible bald spots. Cat lovers, can a Moggie hurt himself?
