News Round-Up

by Will Jones
24 January 2022 1:11 AM

  • “Thousands march through Brussels demanding end to tough Covid rules” – The sprawling crowd, estimated at around 50,000 people, paraded through Brussels today; police confronted the crowds and fired water cannon and tear gas as scuffles and violence broke out at the protest, reports the Mail.
  • “Downing Street police give ‘extremely damning’ Covid party evidence” – Police officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command have provided their accounts to Sue Gray, according to a source, reports the Mail.
  • “Whitty and gang must be held to account on Covid fearmongering” – SAGE scientists have finally been forced to admit their hysterical predictions about Omicron were wrong, or rather, “have not been seen so far”, writes Carole Malone in the Express.
  • “Why SAGE got Omicron wrong” – Given that lockdown was very nearly ordered on the advice of SAGE last month, it’s worth keeping an eye on the ‘scenarios’ it published, and how they compare to the situation today. They don’t compare well at all, and Michael Simmons in the Spectator looks at why.
  • “Doctors join waiters in turning down Covid jabs” – Doctors are among the health workers least likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19, while fitness instructors, artists and waiters have some of the highest unjabbed rates overall, reports the Times.
  • “The sun finally appears to be setting on Australia’s hermit kingdom” – Two years ago, Western Australia slammed its doors shut and went in a different direction to the rest of the nation. But the sun may be setting on its days behind a hard border as it suffers its largest outbreak yet, despite its delayed reopening, reports ABC.
  • “Children to get Covid vaccine passports in time for half-term holidays” – Relief for families planning trips abroad during school break as 12- to 15-year-olds will get access to NHS digital app to prove jab status, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Covid, The Strange Death of Medicine” – Read the latest from the Covid Physician as he reflects on the NHS vaccine mandate and more.
  • “Covid train schedules threaten to wreck return to the office” – Rail operators to extend emergency timetables into February, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Credit Suisse’s António Horta-Osório learns the rules aren’t just for the little people” – Covid breaches did for António Horta-Osório at the Swiss bank, but he may have antagonised colleagues with an uncompromising management style, reports the Times.
  • “John Lewis says it is wrong to cut sick pay for unjabbed staff” – Unlike rivals, the retailer says all staff get full sick pay regardless of vaccination status, reports the BBC.
  • “More Harm Than Good” – Watch this video of the Pfizer six month data which shows that Pfizer’s COVID-19 inoculations cause more illness than they prevent, plus an overview of the Pfizer trial flaws in both design and execution, from the Canadian Covid Care Alliance.
  • “Omicron Definitely did not arise from Wuhan COVID-19” – The Ethical Sceptic reviews the genomic data and comes to a striking conclusion.
  • “Public Health’s Truth Problem” – Throughout the pandemic, medical and scientific institutions have disseminated dubious advice, flawed studies, and even outright falsehoods, writes Dr. Vinay Prasad in City Journal.
  • “Eastern Europe’s toxic relationship with Russia has left the EU divided” – Energy dependency on Moscow is an EU-wide problem now and arguably Europe’s most egregious security oversight – resulting from its hasty switch from coal to gas as a ‘greener’ alternative, writes William Nattrass in the Spectator.
  • “Silence at Putin’s imperialism exposes the basic hypocrisy of the woke Left” – They reserve their anger for empires of the past, not for the ones being built by Russia and China today, writes David Abulafia in the Telegraph.
  • “Cambridge college alumni take row over slavery-linked donor to court, in U.K. first” – Jesus College faces a revolt over plan to strip memorial of Tobias Rustat, a courtier to Charles II, from chapel, as the case goes before an ecclesiastical court, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Criminalising parental love” – More and more nations are making it an offence to steer your kid away from transgenderism, writes Brendan O’Neill in Spiked.
  • “Unilever ‘may be unable to offload ice cream’, lawyers warn” – Ben & Jerry’s political activism may deter buyers as Unilever looks to offload parts of its business, including some food brands, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Weak institutions are giving in to the identity politics thought police” – Under the guise of seemingly benign practices, ideas influenced by identity politics are becoming institutionalised without debate, writes Inaya Folarin Iman in the Telegraph.
  • “University slaps a trigger warning on Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four” – Now staff at the University of Northampton have issued a trigger warning for Orwell’s novel on the grounds that it contains “explicit material” which some students may find “offensive and upsetting”, reports the Mail. Satire is dead.
  • “There’s only so much you can do in these kangaroo courts, ultimately there has to be a change to the law” – Toby on GB News discusses Sean Corby being put under investigation for racism for sharing articles about equality on a diversity forum.
