News Round-Up

24 December 2022 2:13 AM

  • “Covid’s cancelling Christmas… again! Top experts predict at least 1.5 million will be infected on Xmas day as health bosses ‘urge the ill to celebrate alone’ – and frustrated Brits are already ditching their festive plans” – U.K. Health Security Agency bosses urged anyone ‘feeling unwell’ to avoid loved ones this weekend, with frustrated people venting their fury after testing positive in the days before festivities, the Mail reports.
  • “NHS bosses come under fire for spending millions on ‘woke non-jobs’ as frontline workers strike for better pay’” – More than £1 million worth of ‘equality, diversity and inclusion’ related positions are on offer in hospitals and trusts across England and Wales, with most salaries dwarfing that of the average nurse, the Mail reports.
  • “NHS thinks £115,000 Director of Lived Experience is worth three nurses” – Leo McKinstry writes in the Mail that “in effect, the ‘equality, diversity and inclusion’ managers form a new priesthood, spreading a perverse gospel”.
  • “250 million people in China infected in 20 days, officials estimate” – The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention believes 18% of the population have been infected, including half of Beijing, after the Government U-turned on its controversial Zero Covid policy last month, reports the Mail.
  • “How SAGE almost stole Christmas” – This time last year, scientific experts were baying to put us in lockdown, Christopher Snowdon reminds us in Spiked.
  • “Dr. Byram Bridle vs University of Guelph” – Read the vaccinologist’s lawsuit against his employer.
  • “False Profits” – “Adopting multiple alternative ways to trade will ensure that by the time governments bring in CBDCs, not only will we have choices, they will already be up and running,” writes Suzie Halewood in OffGuardian.
  • “New Zealand Documentary Memorial Day (Silent No More NZ)” – Watch the new New Zealand documentary telling the stories of the vaccine injured and bereaved.
  • “The Media Very Rarely Lies” – Scott Alexander in Astral Codex Ten makes the case against ‘fact checkers’ and censorship of ‘misinformation’.
  • “Japan Embraces Nuclear Power, Cancels Phase Out Plans” – Japan has adopted a new policy promoting greater use of nuclear energy to ensure a stable power supply, in a major reversal of its phase-out plan following the Fukushima crisis, WUWT reports.
  • “The woman who could cancel Net Zero” – Iain Hunter in TCW on Professor Valentina Zharkova of the University of Northumbria, who is predicting a cooling climate in the coming years owing to the changing influence of the Sun.
  • “Teacher jailed in row over use of pronouns for transgender student is released” – The judge accused Enoch Burke of “exploiting his imprisonment for his own ends” after it turned him into a “household name”, according to the Telegraph – which is a bit rich, given it was the Irish state which chose to jail him for using biologically correct pronouns.
  • “The Sun newspaper ‘sincerely sorry’ over Jeremy Clarkson’s Duchess of Sussex column” – The Sun has capitulated and said it regrets the publication of the column and is “sincerely sorry”, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Christianity’s retreat has left the West vulnerable to harmful new beliefs” – Our societies are in a severe muddle, which makes for fertile ground for woke zealotry, writes Charles Moore in the Telegraph.
  • “Student who lost court fight against university that investigated her for saying ‘women have vaginas’ in trans seminar launches crowdfunder to pay for appeal” – Lisa Keogh took Abertay University to court after she was investigated for saying “women have vaginas” during an online seminar on transgender issues and is now crowdfunding for her appeal, reports the Mail.
  • “Joe Lycett and the trouble with wokescreening” – Julie Burchill in the Spectator highlights the numerous misdemeanours and hypocrisies of the self-righteous woke set.
  • “Keir Starmer: Pro-trans laws are needed across U.K.” – Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to change the law to allow trans people to self-declare their gender, according to the Telegraph, in the wake of anger over similar moves in Scotland.
  • “Are Holyrood and Westminster heading for another Supreme Court showdown?” – Stephen Daisley in the Spectator argues that politically it would be astute to veto Scotland’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill.
  • “Why has the Church of England embraced the woke cult? Is there a god-shaped hole now in the Church of England?” – Watch Toby join GB News‘s Andrew Pierce to discuss the Christmas carol God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen being rewritten to be more ‘inclusive’.
