News Round-Up

by Toby Young
2 June 2023 2:02 AM

  • “Sacked civil servant wins £100,000 after reporting ‘Whitehall activism’” – A sacked civil servant received a settlement of £100,00 with the help of the Free Speech Union after she raised concerns about political activists operating in Whitehall and expressed her belief that people could not change sex, reports the Times.
  • “The Tories need to get serious about the Blob” – The Government has paid a whacking out-of-court settlement of £100,000 to Anna Thomas, a whistleblower sacked after she tried to warn them about the infiltration of the DWP by political activists. When are the Tories going to get serious about the woke blob, asks Gareth Roberts in the Spectator.
  • “Retiring uni president hits out at students over ‘cancel culture’” – Warner Brothers CEO David Zaslav was booed and heckled by students at Boston University on Sunday, and now their President has hit back, reports the Mail.
  • “Coca-Cola’s ‘Indigiqueer’ Pride workshops for kids” – Coca-Cola is kicking off Pride Month by sponsoring events for preteens that are taught by Native American ‘Indigiqueer’ activists, reports Spectator World. Another Bud Light scandal in the making?
  • “More insurers desert net-zero alliance as U.N. climate group sounds alarm” – Lloyd’s of London became the sixth organisation to quit a Net Zero alliance for insurers within 36 hours on Friday, according to Reuters.
  • “Australian garlic kills COVID-19, says Doherty Institute” – A variety of garlic demonstrates up to 99.9% efficacy against the coronavirus and common flu, reports the Australian Financial Review. Who needs vaccines?
  • “Covid inquiry threatened with court over Boris Johnson WhatsApps” – The Government is set to battle the official Covid inquiry in court as it fights against releasing Boris Johnson’s WhatsApp messages and notebooks, reports the Times.
  • “Boris Johnson didn’t hand over phone he used for most of the pandemic” – Boris refused to hand over the phone he used for most of the pandemic to officials even though it may contain messages about lockdowns, says the Times.
  • “Boris ‘had almighty row with Sajid Javid over free Covid tests”” – Guto Harri, Boris’s ex-Director of Communications, says the former PM had an “almighty” row with Mr. Javid during the pandemic, declaring he was “epileptically bored with Covid”, reports the Mail.
  • “Regulator accused of ‘disturbing’ cover-up of Covid vaccine deaths” – Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson have criticised the U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency for “obfuscation and fragmentation” over Covid jab deaths data.
  • “I fear we are witnessing a Covid cover-up” – Karol Sikora says that those who suffered during the lockdowns, including cancer patients who went untreated, deserve answers, but worries the official inquiry won’t provide them.
  • “The case against Ulez – by a cyclist” – Spectator columnist Lionel Shriver says she’s no fan of the Ulez scheme and she’s one of the people it’s designed to help.
  • “Dambusters’ dog grave move harmful to heritage, group warns” – Historic England says the grave of Guy Gibson’s black lab should not be moved from Scampton because of its significance, reports the BBC, as the Council threatens to dig it up to make way for a refugee camp.
  • “Does Britain Need a New Party?” – Disillusionment with the Tories is growing, says Matthew Goodwin on his Substack.
  • “Oxford college threatens to expel students who misgender trans peers” – Regent’s Park College unveils its new harassment policy and threatens to expel students who don’t use the preferred gender pronouns of their peers. (Sounds like another case for the Free Speech Union.)
  • “NHS row as staff plan Pride march through grounds of Scotland children’s hospital” – Staff are being urged to brandish banners and placards at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh but some say it is creating a culture of fear, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Musk accused of flouting free speech by vowing to limit documentary” – According to the Mail, Twitter censored Matt Walsh’s documentary What Is a Woman? because ‘misgendering’ is against its terms of service. Musk has now done a reverse ferret.
  • “Biden picks Fauci-worshipping lockdown and vaccine zealot to head CD” – Joe Biden has picked a pro-lockdown, pro-masking, pro-vaccine fanatic to head the CDC.

JUST IN: Biden has picked avid COVID lockdown, mask, and child vaccination advocate Mandy Cohen as his new CDC Director, replacing Rochelle Walensky. Here is Cohen sporting a cloth mask embroidered with a portrait of Anthony Fauci. pic.twitter.com/JbkHUgYcpX
