News Round-Up

by Nick Dixon
22 January 2023 12:16 AM

  • “My First Anti-Lockdown Article from 2020” – Jeffrey A. Tucker shares his first ever anti-lockdown article in Brownstone, saying he would change some of it now, but not much.
  • “Jacinda Ardern’s downfall is the latest sign voters are finally starting to regret lockdown” – Adulation for the New Zealand leader on the liberal-Left reflects the triumph of image over substance, writes Daniel Hannan in the Telegraph.
  • “Legal loopholes and vague rules allow risky gain of function research” – Dangerous gain-of-function research continues to go on in the U.S. because of poor oversight, says a damning congressional watchdog report, according to the Mail.
  • “Utah plastic surgeon charged for tossing 2,000 Covid vaccines” – A Utah doctor gave saline shots instead of the Covid jab if parents requested it, according to the Mail.
  • “London borough rebels against ‘flawed’ Ulez expansion by refusing to install cameras” – The Croydon mayor criticises Sadiq Khan’s plan as “deeply unfair and out of touch” as the council explores a legal challenge, writes Jack Simpson in the Telegraph.
  • “Times New Roman typeface is ableist, civil servants told” – Home Office civil servants told to stop using Times New Roman as it is said to be harder for visually impaired people to read, writes Will Hazell in the Telegraph.
  • “How the Californian dream became a nightmare” – Once a byword for aspiration, the golden state is crumbling under the weight of ‘progressive’ ideology, writes Joel Kotkin in Spiked.
  • “$5 million each for descendants of slavery in San Francisco ” – California may start handing out millions of dollars to people who can prove they are descended from a 19th Century slave, writes Caroline Graham for the Mail on Sunday.
  • “Tate Britain’s rehang to focus on slavery in ‘inclusive revamp’” – Paintings linked to the British Empire will be taken out of storage and displayed with labels explaining their links to racism, colonialism and the slave trade, writes Craig Simpson in the Telegraph.
  • “Puberty blockers were given to almost all children sent for assessment by Tavistock clinic” – Critics of the medication say they effectively “lock in” children on the path to becoming transgender, writes Gordon Rayner in the Telegraph.
  • “Trans rights activists take to the streets of Glasgow to protest” – Trans rights protesters take to the streets in protest over the U.K. Government’s decision to block Sturgeon’s insane Gender Reform Bill, writes Christian Oliver for the Mail.
  • “Your child isn’t trans, she’s just a tomboy” – When the mist of trans madness lifts, the true heroes will have been the parents who found the courage to stand up to their own children, writes Mary Wakefield in the Spectator. 
  • “Rishi Sunak faces Tory backlash over trans conversion therapy ban” – Dozens of Conservative MPs could rebel, writes Will Hazell in the Telegraph.
  • “After 13 years of Conservative governments, the Left still runs Britain” – Only a Tory party that has lost its principles would allow agents of the state to tell British voters not to eat cake, writes Simon Heffer in the Telegraph.
  • “10,000 Jeremy Clarkson fans sign petition urging ITV not to sack him” – Clarkson fans claim the recent backlash against the presenter was “completely disproportionate”, the Mail reports.
  • “If the Left don’t like this ‘toxic culture war’, they shouldn’t have started it” – From self-ID to statue-toppling, progressives are the ones stoking division – not the Tories, writes Michael Deacon for the Telegraph.
  • “British Museum bans the word ‘mummy’ out of ‘respect’ for dead” – Woke museum chiefs say the term is dehumanising to those who died, and an unwelcome throwback to Britain’s colonial past, writes Julie Henry for the Mail on Sunday.
  • “This botched law could end up vanishing the Channel boats – and our freedoms” – Whatever the solution to the problems caused by children being online, the Online Safety Bill is not it. The Government needs to think again, says Juliet Samuel in the Telegraph.
  • “How the Davos elite took back control” – The WEF is insulating policy-making from democracy, writes Thomas Fazi in UnHerd.
  • “Elon Musk admits he had major side effects from Covid booster” – Musk Tweets about his bad experience with the second booster, and says his cousin got myocarditis from the jab.

I had major side effects from my second booster shot. Felt like I was dying for several days. Hopefully, no permanent damage, but I dunno.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 21, 2023
