  • “The wrong kind of news” –  Tom Lennie writes for TCW Defending Freedom that it’s all too easy, as trusting citizens, to naively accept what we’re told by the media, yet we need always to be diligent and discerning, to search out news outlets we know to be reliable and check stories to see if they correspond with reality.
  • “Why are thousands of people dying at home?” – Michael Simmons at the Spectator asks why more people are currently dying at home – though is quickly dismissive of the idea the vaccines could play a role.

  • “Who is feminism for?” – Daniel Kodsi for the Critic praises Holly Lawford-Smith’s new book from Oxford University Press, Gender-Critical Feminism, as the inevitable calls for it to be banned appear from the militant trans lobby.
  • “The Woke Inquisitors Have Come for the Freethinking Heretics” – Once governments normalise censorship and the punishment of points of view, free expression is firmly stamped with an expiration date, says J.B. Shurk at the Gatestone Institute. “Whenever censorship slithers back into polite society, it is always draped in the mantle of ‘good intentions’.”
  • “Real American hero-ism” – John Ashmore writes for CapX that before this week few outside politics had heard of Tory MP Danny Kruger, but now, thanks to the venomous power of the internet, he has become an unlikely poster-boy for the groundless but popular idea that American abortion politics is heading to the U.K.
