News Round-Up

by Michael Curzon
11 November 2021 11:50 PM

  • “Toby won the 2021 Contrarian Prize!” – Well done to Toby for winning the 2021 Contrarian Prize award, set up “to recognise individuals in British public life who demonstrate independence, courage and sacrifice”. Well deserved, I’m sure you’ll agree.
  • “Covid cases fall 18% in biggest weekly drop of 2021” – King’s College London scientists estimated 72,546 Britons were catching the virus every day, down 18%. This is the biggest drop since ‘Freedom Day’ in England, reports MailOnline.
  • “Vaccine mandates cannot become the norm” – Where will all this state control over our lives lead? Just how far might it go? We shouldn’t have to ask these questions, writes Robert Taylor in the Telegraph.
  • “Darts must ditch the heart-breaking Covid dismissals” – “Darts – and all sports for that matter – must stop this needless testing, and ditch the heart-breaking Covid disqualification before others are unfairly caught in its web,” writes Luke Perry in Bullseyes and Booze.
  • “Women who work remotely could damage their careers, says Bank of England’s Catherine Mann” – Women who stay away from the office risk their careers suffering as more male staff return to the workplace after the pandemic, reports the Times.
  • “One in 10 people in England are now on an NHS waiting list, new figures show” – In case that isn’t enough, patients’ lives are also “at risk” from record ambulance delays, paramedics have warned.
  • “The Unfortunate Consequences of Biden’s Vaccine Mandate” – “The conflict over covid vaccines is coming to a climax,” writes Gilbert Berdine in Mises Wire.
  • “Covid could be a concern for next five Christmases, scientist warns” – Cases and deaths appear to be trending downwards in the U.K. since a peak last month, however the situation remains precarious, reports Sky News.
  • “Senior NIH Doctor Pushes Back on Covid Vaccine Mandates” – A top infectious disease doctor has raised alarm about Covid vaccine mandates despite top federal officials recommending them for businesses, schools, and other institutions, reports the Epoch Times.
  • “FDA recalls millions of Covid test kits over false results” – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued “the most serious type of recall” for popular home testing kits that show if one is infected with coronavirus. At least 2.2 million products may have been showing false positives, reports RT.
  • “This feckless Tory Government has charted a course to absolute failure” – Time is running out to end the drift, and prove to Conservatives there is a point to this administration, writes Allister Heath in the Telegraph.
  • “I can’t escape my eco-anxiety” – As a gardener, I see portents of doom everywhere, writes Henry Wismayer in UnHerd.
  • “The cynical brilliance of Boris Johnson’s green conversion” – When did Boris swap Piers Corbyn for Greta, asks Damian Reilly in the Spectator.
  • “The dangerous pleasure of hating men” – “I accused my husband of mansplaining – and as the word came out of my mouth, it felt round and satisfying,” writes Mary Wakefield in the Spectator.
  • “How trans ideology took over Scottish schools” – The Scottish Government says that even young children must have their chosen gender identity affirmed, writes Stuart Waiton in Spiked.
  • “Do these twits really belong in jail?” – “In no other area of criminal law but the suppression of free speech is a pure intention or likelihood to cause harm the subject of a charge or conviction,” writes ‘Bridget Jones 2021’ in TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “Bisexual pride is just plain silly” – If bisexuals are a persecuted minority, then I’m a rainbow-coloured cupcake, writes Julie Burchill in Spiked.
  • “The British policeman’s greatest fear: a bare bottom” – “We have a highly partisan and politicised police force, who will brook no insult and who selectively applies the increasingly misled law of the land,” writes Frederick Edward in Bournbrook Magazine.
  • “Racism, cricket and the problem with ancient allegations” – “Scarcely a week passes without someone being cancelled for historical social media posts, and we need to rein in this moral Inquisition,” writes Toby in the Spectator.
  • “Yet more clown news” – The death of man in New Zealand with serious gunshot wounds has been registered as a “Covid death”.
