News Round-Up

by Peter Shuttleworth
20 May 2023 12:55 AM

  • “Is this Adidas’s ‘Bud Light moment’? Row over ‘man modelling a woman’s swimsuit’ continues as fans vow to ‘boycott woke companies out of existence’ amid calls to burn Gazelles in protest” – The sportswear brand has provoked fury for its ‘mockery’ of women over an advert in which a transwoman models a women’s swimsuit as part of its campaign to “uphold inclusive values”, reports MailOnline.
  • “Migration nation: Brexit has meant more immigration than ever” – Mass immigration is back on a scale that would have been unimaginable not so long ago. And rather than treating it as a problem, Sunak’s Government seems to regard it as a solution to Britain’s missing workers. Fraser Nelson has the full story in the Spectator.
  • “Childline website ‘hijacked by trans lobby’ over advice to teenagers” – Charity’s online chatroom includes references to controversial treatments such as hormone blockers and breast binding, reports the Telegraph.
  • “The ESG trap” – Environmental, social and governance investment strategies often amount to little more than ‘greenwashing’, writes Sinclair Davidson in Spectator Australia, and some big funds are being found out.
  • “The weaponisation of antisemitism against conservatives” – A conference organised by a Jewish intellectual on how to revive the conservative movement has been smeared been smeared by hysterical Left-wing journalists as ‘antisemitic’. Melanie Phillips, writing in the Jewish News Syndicate, is unimpressed.
  • “The trans butcher and the disaster of the SNP’s self-ID” – It looks like a textbook case of what Nicola Sturgeon insisted would never happen, writes Iain Macwhirter for the Spectator. A transgender butcher kidnapped a primary school-age girl and sexually assaulted her.
  • “Rishi Sunak’s Confucius Institute muddle” – Rishi Sunak’s promise to close down the Confucius Institutes in U.K. universities when he pitched for the Tory leadership made him sound like a no-nonsense China hawk and played well in the Tory heartlands. Sadly, it was also ill thought out, says Andrew Tettenborn in the Spectator.
  • “Non-Binary Former Biden Admin Official Arrested as ‘Fugitive from Justice’” – Samuel Brinton, a former Biden official who identifies as ‘non-binary’, was charged last year with stealing a woman’s luggage from Harry Reid International Airport and then became a fugitive from justice. The National Review has the story.
  • “Social-Justice Couples Therapy” – Ron DeSantis, Elon Musk, and others have used the term ‘woke mind virus’ to cast radical Left ideology as a communicable brain-eating malady. Commentary’s Abe Greenwald used to think this was hyperbole, but now he’s not so sure.
  • “We’ve reached peak woke. Its virtue-signalling champions are being humiliated” – The excesses of radical students, ‘victim’ celebrities, and Left-wing companies have become laughable, says Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph.
  • “‘I’ve left cycling – losing to a trans rider hurts on a million different levels’” – Despite giving up the sport she loves, cyclist Hannah Arensman refuses to be cowed by the abuse women face for speaking out about the unfairness of having to compete against biological males, writes Oliver Brown in the Telegraph.
  • “John Cleese urged to scrap Life of Brian joke about man having a baby” – The Monty Python star was warned by actors during a read through of his forthcoming stage adaptation of the Life of Brian that the Loretta skit will offend today’s audiences, reports Craig Simpson in the Telegraph.
  • “Ross Clark joins Mark Dolan to discuss whether the case for Net Zero in Britain is crumbling” – Ross Clark, the author of this piece in the Spectator, talks to GB News’s Mark Dolan about France’s disillusionment with the Net Zero policy. Will Britain follow suit?

'The penny is yet to drop in Britain in the way that it has with Emmanuel Macron.'
