News Round-Up

by Michael Curzon
6 August 2021 12:58 AM

  • “The vaccination of children is not a straightforward decision” – It is not sufficient to argue that now older groups have been vaccinated, the same should automatically happen to children, says the Telegraph editorial from Thursday.
  • “Robert Dingwall axed as Government advisor” – “With Robert Dingwall’s departure from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, the wind now appears to be blowing in only one direction when it comes to vaccinating children,” writes Steerpike in the Spectator.
  • “Statistics showing more young people hospitalised with Covid are not what they seem” – Number of older people being admitted has collapsed thanks to vaccination roll-out, bumping up percentage of younger patients, writes Sarah Knapton in the Telegraph.
  • “Inflated A-level grades may force universities to set entrance tests” – A levels had a 100% pass rate last year and leading universities may have to set their own entrance tests if grade inflation continues, reports the Times.
  • “Lockdown-Critical Academics Get ‘Canceled’” – Some academics say they’ve experienced a form of cancel culture, including censorship on social media and even losing their job, reports NTD.
  • “Why we shouldn’t fear a ‘fourth wave’ of Covid” – “Will there be a Covid wave in December,” asks Philip Thomas in the Spectator. “Based on my experience tracking the course of England’s epidemic, I would say this is extremely unlikely.”
  • “Brace for longer spell of post-Covid inflation, warns Bank of England” – Threadneedle Street warns that the cost of living is set to hit four per cent later this year – double its two per cent target, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Macron’s Covid health pass rules approved by top court” – France’s highest court has upheld a new law requiring the public to hold a health pass to access bars and restaurants and health workers to be vaccinated against Covid by mid-September, reports Reuters.
  • “‘I’m not a slave’: Briton detained in Singapore mental hospital after refusing to wear mask” – Benjamin Glynn, who was arrested after riding the subway without a face covering, calls the charges against him “insane”, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Jabbing the young? It’s a sign of a sick society” – The fact vaccinating the young against Covid is even being suggested is a dismal sign of the state of modern Britain, writes Frederick Edward in his latest Bournbrook Magazine column.
  • “We utterly deplore this reckless vaccine roll-out to children” – “Make no mistake, this decision [to vaccinate children against Covid] is egregious, immoral and indefensible,” writes TCW Defending Freedom Editor Kathy Gyngell.
  • “Putting the commie in committee” – A senior Government adviser on Covid wouldn’t last long if they were revealed to be a member of a political party which revered Hitler, writes Rod Liddle in the Spectator. “But as Douglas Murray has pointed out, the crimes of the left almost always go unpunished.”
  • “Texas Governor Says No to Another Lockdown, Calls It ‘Wrong Course’” – Greg Abbott inists there will be no more lockdowns in the Lone Star state, calling it the “wrong course” of action, reports the Epoch Times.
  • “‘I’m plagued by worries of disaster’: an interview with Dominic Cummings” – “We’re going to keep having horrific problems, and there’s no one in politics equipped to deal with them,” says Boris Johnson’s former senior adviser Dominic Cummings in an interview with Lynn Barber for the Spectator.
  • “Vaccine passports would create a hideously divided two-tier society” – It is deeply un-British to implement a scheme that disproportionately hits disadvantaged people, writes Fraser Nelson in the Telegraph.
  • “Fake Doctors Paid to Peddle Jabs on TikTok” – An agency is recruiting actors to pose as GPs to combat “conspiracy theories”, reports Church Militant.
  • “Podcast – Shining the Light: Dispelling Covid Distortions” – Omar Khan interviews Nick Hudson, Chirman of Pandemics Data and Analytics (PANDA).
  • “Hart was right” – “As Herbert Hart rightly pointed out, just because something is law and some elected official has laid it down, that in itself does not magically make those laid down edicts morally right,” writes James Allan in Spectator Australia.
  • “How Well Do the Vaccines Actually Work?” – Low Covid vaccine effectiveness proves that all vaccine passports are meaningless, writes Thorsteinn Siglaugsson on LinkedIn.
  • “Violent crime is returning with vengeance, but the politically correct elite doesn’t seem to care” – The cycle of violent crime is doomed to repeat itself until leading figures conduct a robust discussion on the cultural aspect of the crisis, writes Ben Obese-Jecty in the Telegraph.
  • “Union member who spoke at pro-Brexit rally wins unfair dismissal claim” – A Norwich tribunal has ruled former Fire Bridge Union Leader Paul Embery was unfairly sacked as a victim of an “appalling witch hunt” after speaking at pro-Brexit rally alongside Nigel Farage, reports MailOnline.
  • “Want to enjoy foreign travel? Join the political elite” – Britain has created the most hostile environment in the world for ordinary travellers. But those attending the climate conference due to be held in Glasgow this autumn are getting a free pass, writes Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “Climate Minister Alok Sharma jetted to 30 nations in last seven months” – Climate Tsar Alok Sharma has travelled tens of thousands of miles across the globe over the past seven months to prepare the ground for the COP26 global environment summit this autumn, according to the Mail.
  • “Teachers ordered to promote ‘social justice’” – The General Teaching Council for Scotland says teachers should promote social justice, reports the Times.
  • “It’s time for us to protect our children, not use them as a shield to protect us” – Children should not be vaccinated against Covid, says NHS GP Dr Renee Hoenderkamp in an appearence on talkRadio.
