News Round-Up

by Will Jones
9 December 2022 1:57 AM

  • “Rishi Sunak plans to ban ambulance strikes as army top brass say it’s unfair soldiers will have to miss Christmas to fill in for NHS staff who earn more than them: PM is preparing tough laws that will ‘protect lives and livelihoods’” – Army bosses have reportedly told ministers it is ‘not right’ for soldiers, who are banned from striking, to fill in for roles over the festive period, as the PM mulls laws to ban paramedics striking, the Mail reports.
  • “Covid: Why were the Government’s Covid contracts challenged?” – BBC News with a handy overview of concerns about waste and corruption in the Covid contracts.
  • “Fifteen children have died from Strep A in Britain this winter” – The tragic tally of children dying due to lockdown immunity debt continues to grow, the Mail reports.
  • “Record number of Brits died of alcohol-specific causes last year” – The Mail reports that there were 9,641 deaths as a direct result of alcohol abuse in the U.K. in 2021, which is up 7.4% in a year and up by more than a quarter (27.4%) since 2019, the last pre-Covid year.
  • “How to end the permanent pandemic” – Reject the nonsense behind policies and rules long proven to have been of little to no use in practice, says Ben Domenech in Spectator World.
  • “Chinese anti-lockdown protestors: heroes, not loons” – The establishment media is adopting a very different tone for the latest protests, says Panda La Terriere in UnHerd.
  • “Despatches from the Phoney Covid Trenches” – The Covid Physician posts his Christmas message.
  • “Victories against ESG Starting to Accelerate” – Using our cash to fund BlackRock’s social-engineering project isn’t something Florida ever signed up for, says Charles Rotter in WUWT. Jo Nova also reports that Vanguard has abandoned the “UN led Net-Zero Climate Finance monster group”.
  • “Britain should embrace new coal mining” – Ross Clark in the Spectator says that those who claim steel-making no longer needs coal don’t understand it.
  • “Climate activists ‘waging war on the mind’” – Author Stephen McMurray from Net Zero Watch warns that professional psychologists are using fear as a weapon to manipulate public behaviour.
  • “The march of the local council dictators” – Rod Liddle in the Spectator on the growing tide of municipal green totalitarianism.
  • “Kyiv winter ‘apocalypse’ possible, says Mayor Klitschko” – Vitali Klitschko, Mayor of the Ukrainian capital, said more than 3 million people may be forced to flee the city if Russia succeeds in destroying the power and heating network as winter bites, according to the Mail.
  • “Lady Hussey and the truth we dare not speak” – “People’s origins are so important,” says Matthew Parris in the Spectator. “Yet we seem to be cutting ourselves off from fascinating conversations about when and why a person or their ancestors came to Britain – and all because of our silly and unacknowledged preoccupation with pigmentation.”
  • “The good and the bad of Elon Musk’s first 40 days owning Twitter” – Alex Berenson gives the Dark Lord his report card.
  • “America’s race-obsessed elites are waging war on British institutions” – Douglas Murray writes in the Telegraph that “our universal tolerance and respect for duty are anathema to those who benefit from racial divisions”.
  • “Why the British Empire has surfaced in Prince Harry and Meghan’s ‘narcissistic whinge’” – The British Empire – once considered boring or comical – is now being used to fuel the resentments and divisions of identity politics, says Robert Tombs in the Telegraph.
  • “The greatest threat to free speech is the EU” – Unlike in the U.S., compulsory ‘moderation’ of social media is already written in EU law, says Thomas Fazi in UnHerd.
  • “Is Ngozi Fulani a cultural appropriator?” – The charity boss’s adopted African name has confused many British Africans, says Rakib Ehsan in Spiked.
