News Round-Up

by Michael Curzon
16 October 2021 11:33 PM

  • “We’re in the Age of the Curfew – and there’s no escape” – “I can’t say when we will be confined to our homes again and prevented from working. But after last week’s parliamentary report on the Covid panic, you may be sure it will happen. Next time it may well not be Covid. But that does not matter,” writes Peter Hitchens in the Mail on Sunday.
  • “The truth is still in lockdown” – The first cross-party report says we didn’t lock down early enough. The truth is, lockdowns don’t work, writes Laura Dodsworth in her latest Substack update.
  • “Anti-vaxxers march through London demanding ‘don’t jab our kids’” – Hundreds of demonstrators were seen marching by Hyde Park Corner on Saturday as they protested against mandatory vaccination passports and the vaccination of children, reports MailOnline.
  • “The Little Dark Age – The Week in Review” – S.D. Wickett and Luke Perry discuss the murder of Sir David Amess and the political monoculture on university campuses in the latest Bournbrook Magazine podcast.
  • “Safetyism” – “Over the last 18 months, the barrage of public health messaging about the perils of Covid coursed down the same deep riverbed carved by the doomsday rhetoric we’ve been hearing for years: warnings about climate apocalypse, rampant racism, and other social evils,” writes R.R. Reno in First Things.
  • “Pandexit, please: The need for a Covid end date” – “The rolling Covid mandates and restrictions sidestep the most important question: what is the end-game,” writes award winning medical journalist Gabrielle Bauer in Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “Proof that the CDC is lying to the world about Covid vaccine safety” – “Nobody wants to face the fact that they were wrong,” writes Steve Kirsch in TrialSite.
  • “Zero-Covid has transformed Melbourne into a RoboCop-style dystopia” – The true cost of our lockdown policy is yet to be fully understood. While deaths have remained low, other metrics paint a disastrous picture, writes Megan Goldin in the Telegraph.
  • “German state allows all businesses to ban unvaxxed customers, even for groceries and other essentials” – The German state of Hesse has become the first to allow businesses to deny the unvaccinated access even to basic necessities, setting a troubling precedent as its neighbours wrestle with protests against vaccination mandates, reports RT.
  • “Despite the tough rhetoric, ministers are handing Britain’s electric car production to China” – Kwasi Kwarteng’s Business Department seems extraordinarily reluctant to properly scrutinise the sales of strategic assets, writes Juliet Samuel in the Telegraph.
  • “Tory donor whose dad lends PM his helicopter nabs millions in eco-deals” – Jo Bamford, the heir to the JCB empire, has set himself up in the hydrogen fuel industry – set to be big business at next month’s COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow, reports the Mirror.
  • “The climate change cult now owes more to religion than rationality” – A fundamental failure to understand the real nature and purpose of science risks dire consequences, writes Janet Daley in the Telegraph.
  • “Failed Serial Doomcasters” – “According to the UN’s MyWorld poll of seven million people in 194 countries, out of the 16 possibilities climate action came out… wait for it… dead last.” Willis Eschenbach writes in Watts Up With That.
  • “Do we really need to panic about flooding in Britain?” – “It is quite right that the Environment Agency prepares for worst-case climate change scenarios. But it would do us all a favour if its leader didn’t feel compelled to draw attention to their work through hysterical statements which are serving merely to feed anxiety in impressionable people,” writes Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “The Big Tech barons must be stopped” – The social-media giants have an unprecedented amount of control over public debate, writes Norman Lewis in Spiked.
  • “We Got Here Because of Cowardice. We Get Out With Courage” – “Liberty. Equality. Freedom. Dignity. These are ideas worth fighting for,” writes Bari Weiss in Commentary.
  • “The misogyny of trans activists” – At a conference in Portsmouth, they behaved like they wanted a war, not dialogue, writes Julie Bindel in UnHerd.
  • “Sweden is down to 52nd in the ranking of total Covid deaths per capita since the pandemic began” – James Melville writes: “Almost every other country ranked above Sweden had lockdowns, mask mandates and restrictions. Sweden largely kept its society open, freedoms intact and with no vaccine passports.”
