News Round-Up

by Ian Macleod
1 May 2023 12:01 AM

  • “We have to get away from the blame game” – During an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Dr. Anthony Fauci went on the offensive when asked about anything he may have got wrong during the pandemic, reports the Daily Wire.
  • “15-minute cities are ‘complete impoverishment and enslavement of all the people’” – Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament, believes that Covid passports and QR codes that became widespread during the pandemic were only test runs for implementing 15-minute cities aimed at tightening government control over people, reports the Epoch Times.
  • “No, Washington Post, the experts were the whole problem” – In Brownstone, John Tamny argues that “the remarkable knowledge of very few very smart people will never measure up to the collective knowledge of the citizenry”, rebutting a recent piece by the Post’s editorial board which suggested greater government intervention would have saved lives during Covid.
  • “The pertinent question isn’t whether masks work but why masking didn’t prove to be highly effective in the most rigorous studies” – Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo, Director of the Pandemic Centre at Brown University School of Public Health, circles an answer – or at least a question – in the New York Times.  
  • “Gulf states poised to bail Britain out of energy crisis” – Bahrain and the UAE courted by Energy Secretary Grant Shapps for fresh nuclear investment, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Can Britain become the Saudi Arabia of carbon capture?” – The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero has big ambitions for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), says Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “Just Stop Oil leaders hold secret training sessions for would-be eco zealots” – Leaders of the eco-fanatic group ran mindfulness training sessions for rookie activists to help them cope with being yelled at by furious members of the public, as they plan a summer of mayhem, reports MailOnline.
  • “Sunak is pulling the plug on the North Sea – watch U.K. oil drain away” – Windfall taxes on oil and gas producers will prevent us from bolstering Britain’s energy security, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Vegan with axe to grind leaves barrage of malicious ‘fake reviews’” – Calls for change in the law to stop false information being posted online that could have a “devastating effect on victims”, according to the Telegraph.
  • “The Guardian’s shameful double standards” – It’s the first to cry racism at other publications’ cartoons. So why the blind spot, asks Stephen Daisley in the Spectator.
  •  “Barbie’s maker is just playing at ‘inclusivity’” – The launch of a Down’s syndrome doll looks suspiciously like box-ticking, says Dominic Lawson in the Sunday Times.
  • “The liberal Brexit dream is dying, as a declinist Europhile establishment takes over” – We have forgotten the basic rules of economic growth, while nimble economies such as South Korea gradually overtake us, says Daniel Hannan in the Telegraph.
  • “Hand-wringing over history won’t change it” – Almost everyone will have people in their family tree who were bigots, writes Hadley Freeman in the Sunday Times.
  • “Why ‘woke’ doesn’t have the moral high ground” – In the Spectator Australia, John R. MacArthur explores why the much-overused “woke” has been remarkably resistant to criticism, reason and even ridicule.
  • “Teaching union set to demand more freedom to ‘educate’ young children on their gender identity” – School leaders are calling on Government guidance for teaching gender identity and ‘biological sex’ to be changed to make it easier for them to discuss trans issues with young children, according to GB News.
  • “DEI’s new battleground: the U.S. military” – For generations, colour-blindness and meritocracy have helped make the U.S. military the strongest in the world. But now our military is being bogged down and distracted by a woke agenda, says Christian Watson in the Washington Examiner.
  • “Women’s rights activists led by Posie Parker face off with pro-trans campaigners during rally at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park” – Police were forced to keep gender-critical activists and pro-trans protesters apart from each other at a rally in London today, reports MailOnline.
  • “Transgender pupils will be barred from competing against children of opposite biological sex in PE lessons under new Government plans” – The guidance, which is expected to be released within the next few weeks, will apply to all state and independent single-sex schools in England, according to MailOnline.
  • “BLM activist ruined white University of Virginia student’s reputation over ‘misheard’ remark: report” – A well-known Black Lives Matter activist allegedly ruined a fellow University of Virginia student’s reputation, accusing her of referring to George Floyd protesters as “speed bumps” and threatening to run them over – only to later admit she may have “misheard” the offending comments, reports the New York Post.
  • “‘Transabelism’: latest trans trend sees people identifying as disabled” –  Body integrity identity disorder (BIID) is now being labelled as transableism to better align it with the transgender community, according to the Post Millennial.
  • “Have we just witnessed peak liberalism?” – Watch model Chrissy Teigen channel her inner Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as she swans her way to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “with her servants trailing behind her to hold her dress”.

The below video reminds me of that COVID-era video of a huge team of masked servants getting AOC ready for the Met Gala by working on her hair, nails, feet, and dress while she and her boyfriend lounged around unmasked: https://t.co/33sL77c9qC pic.twitter.com/aVYVFUtxs9
