News Round-Up

by Will Jones
17 December 2022 1:07 AM

  • “Could 30,000 Britons really die of flu this winter?” – While numbers are running high, don’t be deceived, says Ross Clark in the Spectator: ‘flu’ deaths include all deaths with pneumonia.
  • “CEO of AstraZeneca gets knighted and says Vaccine concerns were Overblown” – The Naked Emperor isn’t impressed with the treatment of the clot shot maker.
  • “What I discovered at Twitter HQ” – Watch Dr. Jay Bhattacharya speak to UnHerd‘s Freddie Sayers about discovering someone had put him on the trends blacklist.
  • “I’m back on Twitter!” – Steve Kirsch says he was given two lifetime bans on Twitter but now is “back from the doubly dead” – and has gained 100,000 followers in five hours. Follow him here.
  • “Universities face creep of self-censorship, minister says after ‘transphobic’ film cancelled” – Universities face a “growing creep of self-censorship”, warns education minister Claire Coutinho, just hours after students forced the cancellation of a documentary on women’s rights, the Times reports.
  • “Why it’s valid to ask where Ngozi Fulani is really from” – Esther Krakue in the Telegraph that says if she were an easily offended person, she might consider Fulani’s affectation of an exaggerated African persona to be a case of appropriating her West African culture.
  • “The app that could make you look like an anti-Brexit Left-winger” – ‘Visible’, developed by an ex-GCHQ privacy expert, lets you see how the world sees you – but is it just a tool of self-censorship, asks the Telegraph.
  • “Repatriating the Benin Bronzes is an unforgivable act of vandalism” – The Charity Commission has allowed Cambridge’ s anthropology museum to ‘return’ artefacts, probably to a slave-trading king’s heirs, says Robert Tombs in the Telegraph.
  • “Gay Norwegian filmmaker faces three years in prison” – Tonje Gjevjon spoke out against transgender activist Christine Jentoft, a transgender woman who transitioned from being a man and now identifies as a ‘lesbian mother’, the Mail reports. Under Norway’s extreme ‘hate speech’ laws she faces up to three years behind bars.
  • “Stonewall advising fifth of FTSE 100 companies despite concerns over diversity guidance” – The Telegraph reports that the charity is used by blue-chip businesses despite being dropped by ministers and the equalities watchdog.
  • “The reparations trap” – Elite guilt about the past will do nothing to help the world’s poorest, writes Joel Kotkin in Spiked.
  • “The insufferable snobbery of Harry and Meghan” – Their ghastly Netflix weep-fest was an act of slander against the British people, says Brendan O’Neill in Spiked.
  • “Kiss America goodbye, Harry and Meghan, you’ve finally lost us: We’re covering our eyes, plugging our ears and screaming – please God, make it stop” – Meghan McCain writes in the Mail: “It remains to be seen whether Americans will buy whatever grievance porn they create next. But judging from what we’re reading today, America has moved on, even if they haven’t.”
  • “‘Absolutely horrified’: We expected protection from a CofE school” – Parent Calvin Watts speaks to GB News‘s Mark Dolan about the “horrifying” trans indoctrination faced by his eight-year old daughter at a Church of England primary school.
