News Round-Up

by Will Jones
2 April 2022 2:50 AM

  • “The Covid inquiry must address misguided measures” – Adopting a version of the precautionary principle without due attention to negative consequences can never be allowed to happen again, says the Telegraph in a leading article.
  • “So much for living with Covid!” – Figures from the ONS show 26% of people across the U.K. either worked from home for all or part of last week, reports the Mail.
  • “The public sector is still living in a lockdown fantasy” – Too many people are not prepared to face the reality of the economic crisis, and are using Covid as an excuse to hide from it, writes Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph.
  • “China’s disastrous Zero-Covid strategy is the gravest threat to the global economy” – It’s hard to see inflation easing if global supply chains remain vulnerable to the country locking down, writes Kate Andrews in the Telegraph.
  • “‘This Shouldn’t Happen’: Inside the Virus-Hunting Nonprofit at the Center of the Lab-Leak Controversy” – Chasing scientific renown, grant dollars, and approval from Dr. Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak transformed the environmental nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance into a Government-funded sponsor of risky, cutting-edge virus research in both the U.S. and Wuhan, China. Drawing on more than 100,000 leaked documents, a Vanity Fair investigation shows how an organisation dedicated to preventing the next pandemic found itself suspected of helping start one.
  • “‘Shambolic’ Covid catch-up plan to give tutoring to pupils scrapped” – The Covid catch-up scheme for schools was dubbed “shambolic” yesterday after the firm running it was axed after less than a year, reports the Mail.
  • “An Interview with Nick Hudson, Chairman of the Pandemic Research Group PANDA, After His Twitter Ban” – Sonia Elijah in TrialSite News interviews Nick Hudson, Chairman of PANDA, after he was permanently banned from Twitter for comparing ivermectin to the Covid vaccines.
  • “How the organised Left got Covid wrong, learned to love lockdowns and lost its mind: an autopsy” – It is hard to destroy your own cause and feel righteous while doing so, yet the American left has done it, writes Christian Parenti in the Grayzone.
  • “Covid and coercion: How the lockdown narrative abused Christian morals” – Somewhere, something went seriously wrong: measures implemented to save lives and preserve health stripped being alive of much of its joy and meaning, and the wellbeing of vulnerable groups was forfeited in the name of protecting others, writes Laura Calnan in the Fledger.
  • “Universities in ‘Covid fantasy land’ as they stubbornly stick to online tutoring” – MPs and parents warn that time is running out for sixth formers who want to choose a course taught fully in person, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Awful April arrives: Millions face £1,600 hit in household bill rise” – Utilita founder Bill Bullen, who last year urged consumers to “put a jumper on” over the winter, admitted people will die because people won’t be able to afford to put the heating on, reports the Mail.
  • “Thousands more turbines could be built to treble onshore wind power” – Boris Johnson set to sign off on strategy to improve country’s energy independence in wake of Ukraine war and lower spiralling bills, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Nigel Farage fails to convince Conservative voters to ditch Net Zero, poll finds” – More than three quarters of Tory voters believe the U.K. should “lead the world” in achieving Net Zero emissions, according to an entirely unbiased poll commissioned by the Conservative Environment Network, the i reports.
  • “Can a woman have a penis? Three brave activists launch ‘most significant female movement since the Suffragettes’ urging public demand every politician standing in next month’s elections can answer that simple – and very direct – question” – Can a woman have a penis? A simple question, you might imagine. But not, it seems, for a flustered Sir Keir Starmer, who squirmed when asked just this in a radio interview this week, writes Maya Forstater in the Mail.
  • “The NHS needs to stop asking silly questions” – Biological sex matters in healthcare, so record it, says Laura Dodsworth on her Substack page.
  • “Nadhim Zahawi: Children aren’t snowflakes, so let them read books with the ‘N-word’” – In an interview with Telegraph, the Education Secretary tells teachers that “we don’t need to put warnings on things”.
  • “The Cancellation of Tchaikovsky” – The theme of Tchaikovsky‘s 1812 Overture is a truly horrific event that took place when a despot lost his sense of reality. Precisely because of this, performing it is never more fitting than now, when yet another despot has gone too far. The failure to realise this signifies we have lost our relationship with the very values by which we define our culture, writes Thorsteinn Siglaugsson at the Brownstone Institute.
  • “How Western elites exploit Ukraine” – Reality is manipulated to strengthen their regime, writes Arta Moeini in UnHerd.
  • “Online Safety Bill” – The Online Safety Bill, as it stands, has so much potential to harm that people must be kept safe from it, writes Dylan Roberts in Bournbrook.
