  • “The police pursued me, my lonely mother rotted in a care home: this Covid hell must never be repeated” – From the moment the first ‘stay home’ order was issued, Rachel Johnson in the Telegraph says she “had profound misgivings about lockdown – everything about it”.
  • “Britain was failed by a pro-lockdown clique incapable of admitting its errors” – How did initially rational and cautious ministers end up gung-ho and utterly contemptuous of criticism, asks Fraser Nelson in the Spectator.
  • “How Boris Johnson’s desire to lift lockdown was thwarted by public opinion” – WhatsApp messages show press aides with no scientific background involved in shaping pandemic policy and Johnson allowing opinion polls to guide decisions.
  • “Matt Hancock can threaten me all he wants, our nation’s children must never suffer this way again” – Those responsible for school closures should now admit their mistake and vow never to inflict such harm in the future, writes Isabel Oakeshott in the Telegraph.
  • “Hypocrisy Unlimited: Hollywood’s Secret Counterfeit Vaccine Network” – Roger L. Simon in the Epoch Times on the way some in Hollywood have avoided getting jabbed while pretending otherwise.
  • “Unmasking the truth about Covid” – So much of what we were forbidden to say, on pain of being banned from social media or sacked from our jobs, has turned out to have had considerable substance, writes Rod Liddle in the Spectator.
  • “Fauci Wanted Universal Human Separation Forever” – Jeffrey Tucker, writing for Brownstone, revisits Dr. Fauci’s early statements and finds a sinister agenda to up-end all human relationships.
  • “Vax and Pregnancy Updates / Study Review” – Another murky study on Covid vaccination and pregnancy caps two years of confusion, says Brian Mowrey.
  • “Correction to previous Singapore article” – Alex Berenson admits that his previous article about the sharp rise in Singapore’s stillbirth rate was inaccurate as Singapore changed its definition of stillbirth in late May 2022, causing an increase.
  • “The rule of six Hancocks” – The story behind another socially devastating policy is now becoming clearer, say Tom Jefferson and Carl Heneghan.
  • “Sue Gray’s partygate investigation branded ‘plot’ against Boris Johnson” – Johnson allies say the inquiry looks like a “Left-wing stitch-up” after Ms. Gray was offered the role of Keir Starmer’s Chief of Staff, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Heat pumps twice as expensive as gas boilers to maintain” – The hidden cost of the ‘eco-friendly’ devices is revealed by the Telegraph.
  • “Heat pumps have triggered a revolt against Net Zero” – They’re too expensive and don’t work well enough, writes Matthew Lynn in the Telegraph.
  • “Is Putin winning? The world order is changing in his favour” – Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at Oxford University, suggests in the Spectator that the war is not going as poorly for Russia as the media tend to imply.
  • “Why I’m sticking up for science” – Richard Dawkins in the Spectator is not impressed with the anti-science taking hold of the kiwis.
  • “English cricket adds controversial ‘Genderbread Person’ to inclusive language guide” – The unscientific, widely debunked diagram has been used in a revised ECB booklet, the Telegraph reports.
  • “The trouble with ‘microaggressions’” – Jawad Iqbal in the Spectator on all the reasons why encouraging hypersensitivity to racial difference is a bad idea.
  • “Boris Johnson sings Oompa-Loompa song in attack on censorship of Roald Dahl books and blasts ex-colleague George Osborne over plan to send Elgin Marbles back to Greece as he expresses his ‘irritation at wokeness’” – It’s all very well complaining about it Boris, but you were in charge for several years as it continued its long march; report in the Mail.
  • “Disney in new woke row after fans blast Peter Pan movie for including girls in Lost Boys – with critics already labelling it a ‘flop’” – Peter Pan has been given a ‘woke’ makeover with the famous Lost Boys updated to include girls as well, the Mail reports.
  • “The show will go on! Venue accused of hosting ‘Drag act for babies’ refuses to bow to ‘threats of violence’ against its artists amid growing campaign to have future performances axed” – Footage showing two artists performing for adults, most of whom were accompanied by infants, went viral on social media after claims the show was “targeting babies”, the Mail reports.
