Great to see you back, James. Couldn't get sky. Yes a wild world where nothing is supposedly as it seems and what is obvious is readily dismissed as irrelevant.

All I can say is THANK GOD you are back James!🤗🥳

I had been despairing of getting my daily reality check from you.

Your wit and way with words is so refreshing to dare I say…….us “normal people” left on planet Earth……

The joy of being in a marriage where we don't hide from eachother...and happen to enjoy the same writers...

Thanks Babe for including me in your happy day msg, and thank you James for always bringing laughter to my husband!

My favourite news is JM's messages being read a loud to me by Dave - this read in particular was a blast of giggles from us both.

How is the world accepting the rubbish pointed out in this amusingly written article by James & not fighting back? It's funny to read it but SOOOO scary!!

Welcome back James 🙌 I’m very happy once again to be giggling at your witty commentary. It’s getting so that we have to laugh at all this insanity or there’d be way too much crying all over the place. We definitely need toe help.

I think if men want to identify as women and get paid for the privilege or in fact get awards for it, they should be required to have everything chopped off. Maybe there’d be more thought going into the entire affair. 🤔🤷‍♀️

Where are the women’s liberation people and why aren’t these (trans) men standing up for women’s rights? And why is that man in the bikini topless?

We are witnessing, in real time, the rapid decline into insanity of western culture. It’s the strong delusion in full swing.

It’s good to have you back James, to say what the sane majority are thinking.

What a delight to see your email in my in-box. Between you & Spectator Australia my mornings just aren’t complete. Where have you been? Did I miss an email?

Once again a laugh, a cry, a gasp, a shake of the head. I can’t believe people support this!!!

I took a month off to get the rhythm of the nightly TV show. I feel like I'm on top of it now, so returning to other things I love ... not least of which is The James Macpherson Report and interacting with subscribers. I'm excited to be back!

Welcome back James!

I have so missed your writings. I don't bother to watch the news because I much prefer your take on what's happening out there. Plus the daily dose of humour is so therapeutic! Thanks for brightening our days!

Plus, Seafolly will be my last choice for swimwear. Folly = foolish.

Good point about folly = foolish. Takes things to a new level in view of their ideology.

Miranda Kerr or this guy? ....I know who is easier on the eyes! I’m not sure how we can call this guy a woman... he offends every filter I have...nothing about him is remotely feminine...he turns me off in every possible way...when commonsense is mixed up everything becomes a real mess and all you have is a tossed salad of revolting! Trans are trans stop calling yourself something that your not..you ain’t anything remotely like a woman and thank goodness your not!

The meaning of 'International Women's Day' is less and less relevant when 'women' can now also include men in disguise. And 'real' women are part of the crazy. (To be honest, not sure what the meaning of the day was in the first place, and I'm a woman). We just had a census in Noo Zild, apparently it hasn't had a big uptake in responses, (not surprising) and we have now been given and extended time frame of a month to complete it! What a joke! A new question we've been asked is 'What is your gender?' Options include male, female, another gender, please state'. I filled in that part with 'object to answering' (which is an option as an answer for 'What is your religion?') as well as a line through the whole section. Next question is 'What was your sex at birth?' For example, what was recorded on your birth certificate. Options there are male and female. I hope I was being helpful when I crossed out 'was' and 'at birth'. Also asked (with new wording to fit the nutty narrative), "If your sex at birth was female...how many babies have you given birth to?' Which kind of negates the whole thing - isn't that just saying you have to be female to give birth? But wait, there's more - questions on your sexual identity as in straight, gay, bisexual or other, plus were you born with a variation in sexual characteristics? When you reached the end of the 4 pages, the final bit states, 'Please check your answers before you sign. By signing this form you are declaring that the information given is true and complete. Yes, I declare that the information is true and complete.' I did sign it but did contemplate leaving it blank as some of their questions certainly do not ask for true answers. I have valued the census in the past but with these questions added in, plus the way we have been treated over the past 3 year with breaches of medical privacy and the lack of respect for citizens, it doesn't hold a lot of credence for me now. And welcome back James, like many others, have missed your writings and dose of humour.

I'm gobsmacked! As a Kiwi living in Oz, I'm devastated at what is happening to my beautiful NZ. I hope plenty of Kiwis expressed their dismay.

The extra insanity is that this census is used to forward plan and allocate services based on statistics like how many males/females live in certain areas, work in sectors, need health facilities etc, so all their results will now be skewed. Good luck with that!

you have said it all.

and how smart of men to now say they are women just so that they can keep women "in their place".. very clever of that gender...

I only wish that the men pretending to be women would wash the dishes, clean and fold the cloths, vacuum and mop the floors, take the kids to every sport invented, do the grocery shopping and make 3 days worth last 7 days because $'s are tightly while keeping down a job..

oh and not to mention the DV that a lot of real women live with every day.

Why oh Why would anyone want to be a women when they have all the power as men.

But there you go, women again will have to restart the fight that began in the 60's... we have lost so much ground. Very clever gender these males. very clever... and for doing nothing they get awarded stuff by women... very silly women very clever men..

I was once in an art gallery looking at a painting of Margaret Thatcher in a bikini ...

a security guard wandered over to me and said “Excuse me sir you can’t wear that in here, it's not a Sea Folly outfit." Welcome back James, you have a backlog of NEVER ending material.
