News Round-Up

by Michael Curzon
4 October 2021 11:58 PM

  • “Boris Johnson to use conference speech to urge people back to work” – Amid growing confidence that Covid will not spark further lockdowns, the Prime Minister will use his Tory conference speech in Manchester tomorrow to encourage a return to the workplace, reports the Mail.
  • “Fuel and food shortages could last until Christmas, warns Boris Johnson” – Food and fuel shortages could continue until Christmas, Boris Johnson admitted yesterday as he vowed to keep “all options on the table” to resolve the issue.
  • “Is long Covid being overblown?” – Some experts say it’s a major issue for sufferers while others say that it has been confused with other conditions – so what’s the truth, asks John Naish in the Telegraph.
  • “Covid ‘was spreading virulently in Wuhan’ as early as summer 2019, report suggests” – Research claims to have uncovered “notable, significant and abnormal” purchases of PCR lab equipment in second half of the year, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Sajid Javid takes the fight to SAGE” – Gone are the days of the health secretary being in lock-step with SAGE, writes Kate Andrews in the Spectator. But some of his statements aren’t too convincing.
  • “Covid pass: Vote due on compulsory passes in Wales” – A body representing 100 Welsh venues says it would be “at best inconsistent and, at worst, chaotic”, reports BBC News.
  • “Unlearned AIDS Lessons for Covid” – In the 1980s, Fauci and Redfield sowed fear about a heterosexual epidemic that never happened. We seem to be repeating the same mistakes, writes John Tierney in the Wall Street Journal.
  • “Save Christmas, save Easter, save Ibiza: panem et circenses” – “As the long as the dopamine river keeps flowing, the regime can rule the water. The regime’s control is omnipotent and menacing; with the flick of a finger, it can relax, restrict, tighten, and enhance the supply of bread and circuses to the population,” writes Luke Perry in Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “Population Wide Epidemiological Geography Demonstrates Vaccination Doesn’t Correlate to Reduction in SARS-CoV-2 Infection” – “The evidence is absolutely showing the narrative pushed by POTUS as not data-driven nor correct,” reports TrialSite.
  • “Twitter labels obituary ‘misleading’ as American woman dies of rare Covid ‘vaccine-induced’ reaction” – The obituary of a Seattle woman who tragically died from a rare blood clotting event after receiving a Covid vaccine mandated by the U.S. Government has been labelled as “misleading” by Twitter fact checkers.
  • “New Zealand finally abandons ‘Covid zero’ strategy and eases lockdowns” – Jacinda Ardern is abandoning her draconian ‘Zero Covid’ strategy after admitting she cannot stop the spread of the Delta variant with harsh lockdown measures and aggressive contact tracing, reports MailOnline.
  • “The Government is in denial: levelling up and decarbonisation are incompatible ” – We are adding to the production costs of key industries in the full knowledge that it will make them less competitive than overseas rivals, writes David Green in the Telegraph.
  • “Green issues will be the end of this Government ” – Boris is not merely winning the approval of the U.K. Green movement, he is becoming the embodiment of the U.K. Green movement, writes Patrick O’Flynn in the Telegraph.
  • “Insulate Britain founder would have refused to move for crying woman” – A climate zealot who founded the Extinction Rebellion splinter group which brought parts of London to a standstill for more than four hours during this morning’s rush hour has revealed that he would block an ambulance which contained a dying person, reports MailOnline.
  • “Environmentalism is class war by other means” – Scenes of furious motorists clashing with eco-snobs make it all crystal clear, writes Tom Slater in Spiked.
  • “Harry should resign from Netflix over Diana: The Musical” – If the Duke of Sussex isn’t writing his resignation letter to Netflix after the international release of the revolting Diana musical then he is a man devoid of morals, writes Dan Wootton in MailOnline.
  • “Purity tests damage students and universities” – Kowtowing to the new woke orthodoxy will produce grievance-seeking graduates who are no use to employers, writes Clare Foges in the Times.
  • “The ACLU Decides ‘Woman’ Is a Bad Word” – The group bowdlerises a Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote to refer to a ‘person’s’ pregnancy, reports the Wall Street Journal.
  • “St Andrews reverts to 16th Century Calvinism” – The University of St Andrews is reverting to something akin to 16th Century Calvinism: except that this time it is preaching the doctrine of ‘personal guilt’ rather than ‘original sin’, writes Kristina Murkett in UnHerd.
  • “Publisher rips up David Walliams story of Chinese boy over racism claims” – “Brian Wong, Who Was Never, Ever Wrong” will be banished from the compendium, The World’s Worst Children, in future print runs, reports the Telegraph.
  • “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” – Polish diplomats and politicos appear to raise the alarm at their embassy in Australia about Australia’s drift to authoritarianism, comparing its behaviour to North Korea.
