News Round-Up

by Jonathan Barr
7 June 2023 12:48 AM

  • “Whitehall lost millions during Covid because it ‘too often clings to projects that have failed’” – A report of the cross-party accounts committee has found that Whitehall does not understand risk well enough and too often clung on to failed projects, the Telegraph says, and that is why it lost millions of pounds during Covid.  
  • “MP Margaret Ferrier suspended from Commons for 30 days over Covid breaches” – The Telegraph reports that MPs have voted to suspend SNP member Margaret Ferrier from the Commons for 30 days for the crime of travelling by train while mildly unwell.
  • “We failed the trolley problem” – “The Government didn’t just pull the wrong lever when it locked down,” says Laura Dodsworth. “It wasn’t honest about the bodies on the tracks ahead.”
  • “Some sudden deaths caused by COVID-19 vaccines, autopsies confirm” – The Epoch Times reports on the recent  finding of South Korean researchers that mRNA jabs were responsible for a number of sudden cardiac deaths.
  • “Update: Why the Covid vaccine myocarditis deaths in South Korea matter so much” – Alex Berenson with some more important takeaways from the South Korean research on vaccine-driven myocarditis.
  • “Health tyranny? It’s still in place with the 1984 Public Health Act” – The public is starting to become aware of the WHO Pandemic Treaty, but, writes Alex Hicks for TCW Defending Freedom,  “the Government already holds many of the very same totalitarian powers”.
  • “Choked to death by hospital guards, for wearing a mask too low” – Writing in the TCW: Defending Freedom, Paul Stevens marks the third anniversary of the death of Stephanie Warriner.  She died of brain injuries consistent with asphyxia, aged 43, after an altercation with hospital security guards who said she was wearing her mask too low.  
  • “Dr. Jones and the Counter Disinformation Unit” – Ros Jones tells John Campbell about her concerns about new medical interventions and how they led to her coming to the attention of the Government’s counter Disinformation Unit.
  • “Net zero is stopping bonfire of EU laws, says Kemi Badenoch” – Kemi Badenoch has said that promises made by Grant Shapps to retain green laws are ‘in tension’ with her mission to slash red tape, the Telegraph reports.
  • “‘I was hounded out of Oxfam over J.K. Rowling’” – Julie Bindel interviews a pseudonymous ‘Maria’ for UnHerd. The former Oxfam worked was enjoying her job right up until she gave the wrong answer to a co-worker who was asking if the charity’s shops should ban the sale of books by J.K. Rowling.
  • “Oxfam faces boycott calls over ‘Terf’ Pride cartoon” – Oxfam is facing a boycott over a Pride month cartoon which saw it accused of basing an anti-trans ‘villain’ with evil-looking eyes on J.K. Rowling, the Mail reports.
  • “Don’t take this personally” – Eric Kaufmann explains the ‘fallacy of composition’ for readers of City Journal, and how it leads progressives to regard normative policy proposals as attacks on individual people.
  • “Schools are incubating radical propaganda” – “In arts venues you can’t move for being lectured on the West’s evils,” says Melanie Phillips in the Times, and “the education sector is to blame.”
  • “I have a very important announcement to make” – The latest edition of Daily Wire’s Candace Owens Show in which she responds to YouTube’s demands that she remove any videos involving misgendering.
  • “What is a woman? and the rise of liberal intolerance” – Nick Tyrone, writing in Spiked, encourages his fellow liberals to watch What is a woman, the documentary by Matt Walsh which Twitter tried to suppress.
  • “Scottish council criticised for ‘inappropriate’ drag queen story time for babies and toddlers” – The Tory-run local authority in Moray is the latest institution to stage a drag queen story time event for babies and toddlers, the Telegraph reports. Apparently it will promote “inclusion, diversity and acceptance.”
  • “Hectoring signs are the next frontier in nanny state Britain” – “Warning signs used to be associated with killjoys,” writes Ella Whelan in the Telegraph, but “now they’re everywhere, from Ulez to the detritus of the Covid years.”
  • “The ‘woke’ word mangle: How language became dangerous” – Writing in the European Conservative, Jack Watson laments the damage that offence archaeologist have inflicted on the once wonderful English language.
  • “Media smears Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for ‘conspiracy theories’ even as many come true” – Michael Shellenberger and Leighton Woodhouse document the ‘conspiracy theories’ of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. which have turned out to be perfectly true.
  • “’AI will kill us all!’ say people programming AI to kill us all” – “All models only say what they are told to say,” says William M. Briggs, “And if some clown puts in a bug that crashes something, learn how to shut the damned model off.”
  • “Spotify cuts 200 more jobs as celebrity audio deals fail to pay off” – Spotify is cutting 200 jobs from its podcasting business in its second wave of lay-offs this year, the Telegraph reports, following a slowdown in advertising spending. Meghan Markle’s podcast didn’t bring in the bacon, apparently.
  • “The staff’s biggest issue is climate change!” – Watch the Chief Sustainability Office of NHS England tell a WEF conference that NHS staff’s biggest issue is tackling climate change “more and more, further and faster.“
