News Round-Up

by Luke Perry
27 October 2021 11:28 PM

  • “Rishi Sunak’s dangerous complacency” – “Though the chancellor wanted to look to the post-Covid economy, the U.K. is still bearing the scars of the past two years of state-enforced shutdown,” writes Fraser Myers in Spiked.
  • “The Tories will never change” – “Nor is the Government providing anywhere near enough funding to help poorer pupils who missed so much school catch-up,” says Tim Bale in UnHerd.
  • “Yuval Noah Harari: why humanity faces its most critical decade yet” – The philosopher and historian on how the pandemic has divided us, and what he believes is the biggest danger we currently face, as told to Boris Starling in the Telegraph.
  • “Mass testing: is it worth it?” – The maths behind PCR and lateral flow testing shows their efficacy to be anything but clear-cut – it’s time we ditched them, argues Alex Starling in Reaction.
  • “How did Florida end up with one of the best Covid case and death rates in U.S.?” – “Florida was recording 101 cases per 100,000 people and 1.77 new deaths per 100,000 during the peak of its Covid surge. These numbers have since fallen to nine cases per 100,000 and 0.2 deaths per 100,000,” reports the Mail.
  • “Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather throws his weight behind sidelined Nets star Kyrie Irving’s decision to buck Covid vaccine mandate” – “Floyd Mayweather is slamming vaccine mandates across the U.S. in his defence of Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving, who has been side-lined indefinitely over his refusal to get the Covid injection,” reports the Mail.
  • “Now it really is Dictator Dan” – “You can’t expect Dictator Dan to fight a pandemic with one iron fist tied behind his totalitarian back,” writes James Macpherson in the Spectator Australia.
  • “The treason of the healers” – “In the middle years of the 20th century, social privilege, deference and power was bequeathed to the science-based healers,” writes Thomas Harrington for the Brownstone Institute.
  • “We made you afraid, now we’ll cure you” – “From January, in a region yet to be defined, a pilot scheme backed by the Health Secretary will see users with ‘wrist-worn’ devices on which points for healthy behaviours can be accrued,” writes Tom Penn in TCW.
  • “Girl bullied at school for getting Covid vaccine” – A young girl has been excluded by her classmates at school for getting vaccinated against Covid, reports the Express.
  • “The frightened class” – Why are the most fortunate people who’ve ever walked the earth so terrified and why do they want everyone else to be scared too? Thomas Harrington puzzles over the ruling class’s reaction to the pandemic for the Brownstone Institute.
  • “‘They need to breed less’: the darkness of climate zealotry” – “If this disregard for our very humanity goes unchallenged, we could be in for some dark times indeed,” writes Vijay Jayaraj in Watts Up With That?
  • “The climate and the media” – “The lengthy documents they are supposed to summarise are frequently more measured and sober than the exaggerated and decontextualized versions of them portrayed in the media,” writes Jamie Walden about climate change research in Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “Woke mob attacks BBC over publishing stories of lesbians ‘being pressured into sex by some trans women’” – “The BBC is facing a backlash over a story about lesbians being branded transphobic for refusing to have sex with trans women,” reports RT.
  • “Woke academics tell top London university to bin statue of anthropologist and slavery abolitionist because he ‘might now be called racist’” – “Academics have recommended Imperial College rename several buildings and lecture rooms bearing the names of influential figures, as well as remove a number of statues,” reports RT.
  • “Why Jesus College shouldn’t have returned its Benin bronze” – “Past wrongs cannot be solely attributed to the West,” writes Michael Mosbacher in the Spectator.
  • “What broke the New York Times?” – “Hating Trump drove massive amounts of engagement to previously floundering publications, channels and shows,” writes Batya Ungar-Sargon in the Spectator.
  • “The media’s betrayal of the poor” – American journalists use anti-racism to mask their contempt for the working class, argues Batya Ungar-Sargon in UnHerd.
  • “Can you flag this for health disinformation?” – Toby challenges the spreading of misinformation relating to the U.K.’s Covid death toll.

Hi Rachel. BBC News is reporting that Rachel Reeves, in her response to the Budget, says the U.K. has the highest Covid death toll in Europe.

That’s not true. In fact, as of Oct 17th, we had the 10th highest. (https://t.co/tirskaolIK)

Can you flag as health disinformation? https://t.co/GVF46JSPVk
