Question - What has Oxford University, The Guardian and GB-News have in common?
Answer - All three seem to have become home to obsessive nutters.
1. An on-air discussion between Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg descended into a theatre of the absurd when Farage stated the obvious - that this government negotiated a deal that has partially separated Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK. Mogg became rather agitated at the idea and was vehemently denying what we all know to be true.
Fortunately for him, all this happened on GB-News, so nobody saw it happen.
And talking of GB-News and not seeing things happen, the Andrew Neill show has been shown 50 times - ten of those 50 shows actually were presented by Andrew Neill.
2. Oxford University's Medical Science Department took the absurd a step further with a paper on Combatting the Effects of the Menopause.
It reads "By highlighting the personal impact the menopause has on women and those who identify as women and by providing the right support, we can avoid losing essential female staff."
You may have spotted the obvious flaw in this statement. Men dressed as women do not have, nor can they ever have menstrual cycles, so cannot suffer any symptoms of the cessation of the menstrual cycle. I would have expected professors of medical science to know that!
3. Oh, but here's the best of last week's madness came in the Guardian on Wednesday in the form of a damning film review by some carpet-biter called Caspar Salmon.
And boy does he let this film have it! "Authoritarian neoliberal propaganda" is his opening shot, followed by "complicit in a global capitalist system that produces inequalities" and "The film’s dismaying gender politics are in tune with the franchise’s gross rightwingery."
He goes on, "A sort of Ayn Randian objectivism prevails in the film" and that the film is guilty of "patriarchal gender performance".
The film in question is Paw Patrol. Just wait until our Caspar gets a grip of the Neo-Nazi undertones of Peppa Pig!
