by Richard Eldred
9 August 2023 12:37 AM

  • “City watchdog investigates ‘de-banking’ of customers in wake of Farage scandal” – The Financial Conduct Authority is set to contact banks, requesting details about customers who have been ‘de-banked’, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Anger over major change to Covid and flu vaccine programme” – Health chiefs are being begged to re-examine the U.K.’s Covid and flu jab policy after ditching plans to offer the jabs to under-65s this winter, says the Mail.
  • “Secret memo exposes plan to mislead public about the vaccine” – Jessica Rose directs us to new evidence that the Canadian Government instructed public health officials to downplay injuries from the COVID-19 vaccine to maintain confidence in the public health regime.
  • “AstraZeneca’s second most lethal batch” – The PV46664 batch of the Covid vaccine is the second most lethal of the AstraZeneca batches, writes Norman Fenton.
  • “The Washington Post is worried about SARS-2 ‘uptick’, and upset with the need for individuals to cover their own insane Covid testing practices” – The panic drums just keep beating in an effort to promote the next barrel of virus miracle juice, says Eugyppius.
  • “Pressure on Facebook and White House for greater censorship of anti-vaxxers came from news media” – The White House pressured Facebook to censor criticism of the Covid vaccines at the behest of the corporate news media, say the team at Public. And Facebook caved because it wanted the U.S. Government to apply pressure on the EU not to block the transfer of data about Facebook’s EU customers to Facebook in the U.S.
  • “We are back for round two” – Drs. Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson celebrate one year of their Trust the Evidence substack, and outline their ambitions for year two.
  • “A large number of lawyers are overtly politicised” – Only a small minority of lawyers are corrupt, but a large number are overtly politicised and openly flaunt their Left-wing credentials, says law professor Andrew Tettenborn in the Mail.
  • “The ESG movement is being exposed as a dangerous con” – Britain is on the brink of being completely captured by hypocritical do-goodery, writes Ben Marlow in the Telegraph.
  • “Senior tories urge scrapping of Net Zero ban on new oil boilers” – Rishi Sunak is being urged to scrap a Net Zero ban on new oil boilers, with senior Tories warning it will cost votes in rural communities, says EnergyPortal.eu.
  • “The Tories are trapped by Net Zero legislation” – The dilemma facing ministers is that they are bound by statute to meet certain carbon reduction targets, explains the Telegraph in a leading article.
  • “How faulty wind turbines threaten to bring down a German industrial powerhouse” – Siemens’ struggles with inflation and manufacturing flaws reflect a turbine industry as fickle as the wind, says Howard Must in the Telegraph.
  • “The infuriating climate alarm” – When the farcical climate lockdowns arrive, Iain Davis in OffGuardian suggests we dress for the weather, grab a bottle of water, and go out and enjoy ourselves.
  • “Lee Anderson tells asylum seekers to ‘f*** off back to France’ if they don’t like barges” – The Deputy Tory Chairman has said those illegal migrants who are unhappy about conditions on the Bibby Stockholm barge should leave or “better not come at all”, reports the Independent.
  • “Gender critics akin to white supremacists, claims SNP’s Mhairi Black” – The Deputy Leader of the SNP has compared gender-critical campaigners to white supremacists, according to the Telegraph.
  • “I left my job at the Guardian because I was no longer allowed to say what I wanted” – “I suffered the consequences of expressing a view contrary to the liberal orthodoxy,” says Suzanne Moore in the Evening Standard.
  • “The trans movement is becoming more violent” – Joanna Cherry should not need airport-style security just to speak at the Edinburgh Festival, writes Robert Jessel in Spiked.
  • “The smear campaign against J.K. Rowling” – A museum in Seattle is the latest entrant to join in the witch hunt against the Harry Potter author, says James Dreyfus in Spiked.
  • “Sex education group recommends daycares create ‘sexual games’ and nude ‘exploration rooms’” – Germany’s leading professional association on sexuality and partnership, Pro Familia, is under fire for suggesting that daycares implement ‘body exploration rooms’ and ‘sexual games’ for young children, reports Reduxx.
  • “Against reparations” – Anti-colonialists fought for freedom and independence. Today’s identitarians want hand-outs, says James Heartfield in Spiked.
  • “Canada’s Orwellian assault on the past” – The elites are rewriting Canada’s history and could soon criminalise those who object, writes Kevin Yuill in Spiked.
  • “We’re living through Barack Obama’s third term” – Given Joe Biden’s very public decline, the Spectator’s Ben Domenech asks just who is actually running the show at the White House?
  • “An inconvenient truth for the climate cult” – The climate disaster death rate has declined by 98% over the last century, even as carbon emissions have risen. Why? Fossil fuels, says Vivek Ramaswamy on the Hill.

Fact: the climate disaster death rate has *declined* by 98% over the last century, even as carbon emissions have risen. The average person is 50X less likely to die of a climate-related cause than in 1920. Why? Fossil fuels. An inconvenient truth for the climate cult. pic.twitter.com/nJJRDmwIlF
