News Round-Up

by Nick Dixon
12 March 2023 12:06 AM

  • “The real Covid conspiracy” – Supine scientists such as Jeremy Farrar are being let off the hook, writes Ian Birrell in UnHerd.
  • “The five times Hancock didn’t follow the science” – Ex-Health Secretary Matt Hancock repeated the ‘following the science’ mantra as early as March 5 2020, but the Telegraph’s Lockdown Files reveal they did not always adopt this approach, the Mail reports.
  • “Jackie Bird accuses mass media of ‘stifling’ Covid policy debates” – Scotland’s best-known TV presenter has hit out at the broadcasting watchdog and a “compliant” media which refused to question the government’s lockdown policies, the Times reports.
  • “The Covid Response Museum” – The idea that people’s fundamental birthrights can be taken away forcibly, in an ostensible attempt to ‘protect’ them, belongs only in a museum, writes Bhaskaran Raman in Brownstone.
  • “Here’s the truth about Britain’s net zero target – it’s wholly unrealistic” – Net zero by 2050 may be fantasy, but we fail to participate in the industrial revolution of the coming energy transition at our peril, says Jeremy Warner in the Telegraph.
  • “Sadiq Khan blames Boris Johnson for Ulez extension” – Sadiq Khan has blamed his predecessor Boris Johnson for his controversial Ultra-low emission zone plans to expand car charging zone across all of Greater London, the Mail reports.
  • “The Lineker row isn’t about free speech – it’s a moral coup” – So the cancel-culture set believes in free speech now? What a turnaround, says Brendan O’Neill in the Spectator.
  • “Lineker’s tweets aren’t grounds to cancel him – but they do make the case for scrapping the BBC” – The pundit’s remarks were crass, but have nothing to do with how he performs his job, says Daniel Hannan in the Telegraph.
  • “Gary Lineker isn’t brave – he’s an arrogant player who thinks he can defy the ref” – Social media tricks people into believing free speech trumps their duties to friends, colleagues, neighbours – and most especially employers, writes Charles Moore in the Telegraph.
  • “When will the Left learn that not everyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi?” – Calling your opponents ‘fascists’ is not just crass. It’s stupendously lazy and boring, says Michael Deacon in the Telegraph.
  • “Harry and Meghan are learning that Hollywood only respects real royalty” – The Sussexes could do worse than attending the Coronation, if only to show Tinseltown that they still have a part to play in British history, writes Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph.
  • “Feminists giving anti-Andrew Tate lessons in schools claim gender is not binary” – Activists who are running anti-Andrew Tate lessons for schools have vowed to “dismantle” the idea of binary gender, according to the Telegraph.
  • “How the Left-wing elite used Britain’s museums to distort history” – From ‘racist’ plants at Kew Gardens to ‘sexist’ medical exhibits, venues are deliberately reshaping how we view the past, writes Tim Stanley in the Telegraph.
  • “Is it now ‘far right’ to be a feminist?” – According to Hope Not Hate, standing up for women’s rights makes you a dangerous extremist, writes Joanna Williams in Spiked.
  • “Sorry, Suella, we do have blasphemy laws” – There is now a clear and consistent threat to free speech and religion in the U.K., writes Jeremiah Igunnubole in the Critic.
  • “Statues of ‘old white men’ may need to be destroyed, Welsh government advises” – Historical figures praised in their day may now be perceived as ‘aggressors’ out ‘to expand the British Empire’, warns new guidance, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Migration makes the world grow rich, but can it build stable nations?” – The United States has prospered as the archetypal melting pot. But it is now facing the problems of a society without deep roots, writes Janet Daley in the Telegraph.
  • “Don’t call girls ‘princess’ or say they’re pretty, nursery says” – Parents have been told to stop telling their daughters they ‘look pretty’ or calling them ‘princess’ or ‘a tomboy’ by one of Britain’s largest nursery school groups, the Mail reports.
  • “Watch: Brazilian congressman mocks gender ideology” – It seems Brazil is as sick of woke gender nonsense as everyone else.
