Putting It to the People, Over and Over and Over

...it's already been put to the people - and the people voted to leave. At which point the losing side took the people to court, whose modish Blairite pseudo-Americanized judges ruled that only Parliament could effect withdrawal from the European Union and so, rather than putting it to the people, it had to be put to the politicians. Hence the last three years of obstruction and subversion.

The lady in question, Miss Ria Cooper, was contacted by a gentleman on the Internet who wished to film himself having sex with her and sell the resulting cinematic masterpiece. He subsequently found out she was packing a little more than he was up for, and reneged on the deal ... So it was surely only a matter of time before the coppers started enforcing the human right of a transwoman to be shagged on camera by a heteronormative cismale.

This is almost a perfect distillation of our age and its strange blend of puritanico-libertinism:

I think it was Ann Coulter who observed, after their victory on same-sex marriage, that Big Gay had decided to go door to door shooting the survivors.

The Sun was the bestselling redtop that gave ... a star columnist, Garry Bushell, whose solution to the Aids pandemic was to propose homosexuals be tattooed at the base of the spine with "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here".

~But in contemporary Britain what really is conservative? At Manchester University the statue-topplers have come for Gandhi - on the grounds that he despised black Africans as "savages". And, if you're agitating to have old-school imperialist white-male statuary like Cecil Rhodes at Oxford toppled for the sins of the unwoke, what's sauce for the white goose is also sauce for the Gandhi.

The quotation from Garry Bushell made me crack up. Steyn starts out slow, and gets rolling by the end.

I was laughing so hard, it I was hard for me to catch my breath. Steyn is a cultural treasure. In my book anyway.
