Transgender cyclist Emily Bridges has become the last person to attack the prime minister.
And in doing so, he might have taught her a way to win the next general election.

Boris Johnson said biological men should not compete against women in sports competitions.
This, of course, upset Bridges, who was born a boy and claims to have received death threats after Boris’s intervention.
If so, this is horrible and must be completely condemned.
This strange cultural war for transgenderism is often made unpleasantly personal. It shouldn’t be.
Transgender people deserve as much love, respect and freedom from discrimination as everyone else in society.
But it still doesn’t mean that a man making a transition is actually a woman.
This is a denial of the scientific fact.
Everything is there on the chromosomes, the muscles, the testosterone and the bone structure. Boris, for once, was right.
And I bet at least 90 percent of the population agrees with him on that.
This demand to have men competing against women in sport, and men in transition to women’s prisons, is driven by a very strong, very acute and tiny minority.
And I think the general public doesn’t like it at all.
They are alongside Harry Potter author JK Rowling, who also receives death threats to suggest that a “woman” exists.
Conservatives have been spectacularly useless in defending common sense in this so-called cultural war.
PROGRESSIVE IDIOCIES
It was under the Conservatives that more and more children were subjected to life-changing transitional treatment at the Tavistock Clinic, with the dispute over when young people can consent that such things reached the Court of Appeal. lation.
It is under the Conservatives that pro-trans propaganda feeds our children in schools.
Conservatives have done nothing to stop the ridiculous “decolonization” of national universities and institutions.
All because they are sensitive issues and the Conservatives do not want to get into trouble.
But voters know exactly what a woman is: an adult human woman, with a cervix (and often a large collection of shoes).
Transgender people deserve as much love, respect and freedom from discrimination as everyone else in society. But it still doesn’t mean that a man making a transition is actually a woman.
They don’t like children being forcibly fed progressive idiots by teachers who echo Stonewall’s horrific campaign organization.
They are proud of their country.
They believe in free speech and the right to offend.
Voters in the Red Wall seats are especially hot on the issue. I know, because I live in one of them. And in election time, I knock on doors asking for them.
The workers and the useless liberal democrats are pointing to all the progressive b **** cks of the cultural war.
So this is Boris’s chance to put clear blue water between his party and the rest.
Take back the measures introduced that are advancing in the case of transgender people while discriminating against women.
Defends freedom of expression. Tell the race activists that we are proud of our country and its history, even if we have made mistakes in the past.
Take a stand on these issues.
And then maybe, just maybe, some of those desert voters will go back to the Conservative corral.

And so Boris wants us to “draw a line” beneath everything and move on. With almost half of the parliamentary party against.
I, for one, have no doubt that the BBC and ITV, who hate Boris, exaggerated Partygate’s stuff.
Nor do I doubt that much of the hatred towards him in his own party is for Brexit.
But he should still have left.
Apart from anything else, this would be the only way the Conservatives can win the next election.
My suspicion is that it will go sooner rather than later.
Something new will come out. He always does, with Boris.
THERE IS NEVER LIFE IN THE MONARCHY
For a long time I thought that once our queen left, the monarchy would have had it.
However, there was a great turnout for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

This is the silent majority in this country, which, for once, is manifesting and making its voice heard. So maybe there is still some life left in the institution.
I wish we could skip a generation and move on to Prince William.
He’s a little serious and not exactly full of charisma.
But there’s something quietly nice about the guy, and he seems to take his duties seriously.
‘SHIFTY’ HUNT IS NOT PM
IF I had to make a list of people I really don’t want to become prime minister of this country, Jeremy Hunt would definitely be in my top 20.
Somewhere between Nicola Sturgeon and Harry Maguire.

What do I dislike about him? Well, first of all, its policy.
He was a devout Remainer on Brexit.
And he is a liberal. A liberal with the same arrogance as those other applauded old liberals, Kenneth Clarke and Michael Heseltine.
He also has one of those smiles that seems to say, “Right now he’s smiling at you, but look at another moment and I’ll set your puppy on fire.”
He is the favorite of the Tory Remainer band.
Hopefully you have no chance of getting the job.
In case it is ever available.
Is the new Love Island series directed by the old white government of South Africa? It was like apartheid.
The paired couples were strictly segregated by a vote of the spectator. Black with black, white with white.
It was like watching an Alabama scene in the 50’s.
Maybe they should also have separate areas for black and white couples for dinner.
Absolutely weird.
The UN has GSOH, I guess
HERE is a question for you.
If the presence of Sudan, Pakistan, Libya and China in the UN Human Rights Council has not convinced you that the UN is an absurd waste of time and money, what will it do?
What about the country now leading the UN-backed Disarmament Conference?
Guess what it is.
Continue.
I bet you can do it.
Yes, North Korea.
FUMING A CIGS STEER
I quit smoking last year without much trouble.
I’ve been almost 60 a day for most of my 45 years, and giving up wasn’t as bad as I thought.

But I don’t regret having smoked all this time, even if it sometimes meant that strange black things came out of my lungs from time to time.
I enjoyed it.
I knew it wasn’t great for my health, but I thought the risk was worth it.
Therefore, I have conflicting feelings about this plan presented to the Secretary of Health, Sajid Javid, to increase the smoking age to 21 years.
There are many ways to harm our health: lack of exercise, eating Doritos family packs, p *** us, and so on.
And I still think it’s up to the individual to decide what they want to do, not the government.
GARETH WAKE UP
ENGLISH coach Gareth Southgate received a lot of praise from his teammates in the press for his substitutions in the match against Germany.
Because? All he did was incorporate a player, Jack Grealish, who should have been there from the start.

I’m telling you right now, we’re not going to win any tournaments under this man.
And the things that bend your knees have become completely ridiculous.
In the meantime, we had to endure the terrible coverage of the Channel 4 game.
She was more awake than a baby at three in the morning.
Producers no longer care what screen experts say and how useful they are to the audience, as long as it’s politically correct.
