  • “Boris Johnson’s rejection of lockdown could pay big dividends in 2022” – The Prime Minister may well be vindicated in avoiding Europe’s march towards ever-harsher measures, says Fraser Nelson in the Telegraph.
  • “Asking larger questions: beyond Covid to real health with Dr. Ryan Cole” – Omar Khan interviews medical expert Dr. Ryan Cole about how to reverse the ‘new normal’ and return to an ordinary life.
  • “Door-to-door Covid jabbers to be sent to homes of unvaccinated Brits” – Discussions between the Department of Health, NHS England and No. 10 have looked at a national drive to send vaccine teams to areas with low uptake rates as a crucial way to avoid lockdown, reports the Mail on Sunday.
  • “Covid in Scotland: care homes ‘need lockdown’ to protect elderly from Omicron variant” – “Only a 2020-style lockdown will protect care home residents from the Omicron Covid variant, an industry leader has claimed,” reports the Times.
  • “How fanatics took over the world” – “As with almost every revolution in history, a small minority of crazy people with a cause prevailed over the humane rationality of multitudes. When people catch on, the fires of vengeance will burn very hot,” writes Jeffrey A. Tucker for the Brownstone Institute.
  • “Israel sets precedent with fourth booster shot” – “Israel has begun administering a fourth Covid vaccine dose to triple-vaccinated test subjects. The Jewish state is already planning on offering an extra booster shot to the elderly and vulnerable,” reports RT.

  • “Bill de Blasio’s new private sector Covid mandate comes into effect” – Workers at roughly 184,000 businesses were required to show proof they have received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine starting on Monday, just days before de Blasio leaves office, reports the Mail.

  • “China develops AI ‘prosecutor’ to press charges ‘with 97% accuracy’” – “The dystopian machine can identify ‘dissent’ against the state and suggest sentences for supposed criminals, removing people from the prosecution process,” reports MailOnline.
  • “High-five and hug between NFL star and Fox presenter proves too much for Twitter social distancing police” – “After wishing each other a Merry Christmas, Rodgers and Andrews ended the interview and perhaps thought they were off camera as they approached each other for a high-five and a hug – making a mockery of the social distancing they’d observed just moments earlier,” reports RT.
  • “The cynical wokeness of Cambridge colleges” – Decolonisation is an excellent marketing strategy, says Robert Tombs in UnHerd.
  • “Is the university over?” – In 2021, campus cancel culture took an ugly turn, writes Joanna Williams in Spiked.
  • “Traversing the battlefield” – In Bournbrook Magazine’s latest video essay, S.D. Wickett narrates one of his recent articles describing the composition of the politically correct ‘woke’ elite, and offers some solutions on how to defeat it.
  • “A drop in the ocean” – Michael Kill, the CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, speaks to Talkradio about the lack of financial support from the Government.

CEO Night Time Industries Association Michael Kill tells Trisha that the reality of his industry is that some businesses who get the £6,000 government grant lose that in one night.
