News Round-Up

by Will Jones
27 August 2023 12:21 AM

  • “Revealed: Ulez is just the start of Labour’s carless society as Sadiq Khan’s officials draw up plans for new and even more far-reaching tax that could charge drivers by mile” – Millions of drivers are in danger of being hit by a new pay-per-mile road tax under Labour plans seen by the Mail on Sunday.
  • “New documentary ‘proves’ building offshore wind farms does kill whales” – The New York Post reports on Michael Shellenberger’s new documentary Thrown To The Wind which charges a Government cover-up of whale deaths (of which there have been three off New York and New Jersey in August alone).
  • “Now Just Stop Oil hit the North, launching slow walk through Leeds” – Around 30 eco-activists started walking from the city centre before moving onto a dual carriageway, blocking motorists trying to access parts of the M6, the Mail reports.
  • “Energy prices really are a conspiracy against the public” – Households are being failed by a dysfunctional market built on a bizarre set of rules, says Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “Disinfo-nation: the new censorship is here to stay” – The list of topics on which the Government and mass media feel called to protect us from ‘disinformation’ is very long, writes Peter W. Wood in the Spectator.
  • “The Positive Feedback Loop: How Totalitarians Instil Fear and Restrict Human Rights” – Scott Sturman at the Brownstone Institute says we are told free speech is dangerous – that it leads to hate, instability, and mayhem – but this is the disingenuous argument of tyrants and totalitarians.
  • “Gladstone, the BBC and the contempt for national history” – A BBC news story this week about members of the Gladstone family visiting Guyana to apologise for their ancestral links to slavery in the Caribbean has all the historical errors and elisions we have become used to in reports and investigations on the subject of slavery, says Lawrence Goldman in the Spectator.
  • “Luis Rubiales: the ‘forced kiss’ that started Spain’s #MeToo movement” – Luis Rubiales has been suspended by Fifa after he kissed Jenni Hermoso – who denies the Federation President’s claims that the kiss was ‘consensual’, the Times reports. The Federation is currently still backing him, however, saying it will take legal action against Hermoso.
  • “European Regulators, Wielding a New Law Just Coming Into Effect, Begin a Broad Crackdown on Big Tech” – The landmark guidelines of the Digital Services Act provoke concerns over content moderation that could affect an area far wider than Europe, according to the New York Sun.
  • “Now Who’s Gonna Make the Rockin’ World Go ‘Round?” – Considering much of the music made available to children today, they could really do a lot worse than ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’, says Michael Curzon in the European Conservative.
  • “Police tell hotel boss to remove online video of thieves” – A hotel boss has been asked to remove online footage of thieves who stripped their room nearly bare because police claim it is “causing them distress”, the Mail reports.
  • “Civil servants can use male or female security passes and can change gender daily” – ‘Nonbinary’ staff in the Home Office are given male and female security passes allowing them to change their gender identity day by day, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Home Office’s ex-asylum boss joins pro-migrant charity” – Emma Haddad will take up a post at Amnesty International, which called Sunak’s migrant act “inhumane, racist and divisive”, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Peter Wilby’s the holier-than-thou paedophile editor who used the Guardian and New Statesman to mount a campaign to protect child abusers” – Why haven’t either of those bastions of Left-wing sanctimony taken down his columns, asks Guy Adam in the Mail.
  • “Full text: Nadine Dorries’s scathing resignation letter” – Read in the Spectator the full text of Nadine Dorries’ blistering resignation letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as she announces that she is stepping down as an MP.
  • “How trans ideology took over Iceland” – How did Iceland get to a point where public institutions and political parties are threatened for hosting a meeting to discuss human rights issues, asks former PM David Gunnlaugsson in the Spectator.
  • “Ramsay Street’s revamp features a very diverse cast of characters” – The Australian soap opera, which returns to screens next month, will feature a biracial gay couple with two children, a transgender character, a male gay couple and a lesbian singleton, the Mail reports.
  • “The world is realigning at high speed, and turning against the United States. But the Biden Administration is spending its time harassing one of our last sincere allies in Europe, Hungary, for the crime of being too Christian” – Watch on X Tucker Carlson’s speech in Hungary.

The world is realigning at high speed, and turning against the United States. But the Biden Administration is spending its time harassing one of our last sincere allies in Europe, Hungary, for the crime of being too Christian. Watch.
