News Round-Up

by Richard Eldred
6 February 2024 1:03 AM

  • “The Left’s grotesque betrayal of Jewish women” – The lack of solidarity for the women who were brutalised by Hamas is sickening, says Brendan O’Neill in Spiked.
  • “Mask mania claims a little boy’s life” – In TCW, Prof. Roger Watson discusses the tragic death of an 11 month-old boy in Taiwan who died after being forced to wear a face mask at nursery.
  • “The Lancet’s Richard Horton: ‘We’re going to continue to see health as political’” – The Financial Times’s Clive Cookson profiles Lancet chief Richard Horton amidst criticism of his authoritarian intolerance of dissenters from public health orthodoxy.
  • “Does fluoride in drinking water lower IQ? Question looms large in court battle” – U.S. experts are clashing over a report suggesting fluoride can affect brain development, according to Science.
  • “In praise of Kemi Badenoch” – Tory MP Kemi Badenoch isn’t perfect but she is far better than any of her rivals in the Conservative Party, writes Julie Burchill in the Spectator.
  • “A UAE buyout would leave the Telegraph hopelessly compromised” – The UAE is not a controversial entrepreneur, it’s a state with an army, writes Jon Boone in CapX.
  • “Christians and drag queens – my hate crime nightmare” – In TCW, Julian Mann challenges Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley’s support for a volunteer constable who prohibited a Christian singer from singing church songs outside church grounds.
  • “What planet is Gillian Keegan on?” – According to the Education Secretary, the Clapham alkali attack had nothing to do with the asylum system. Lauren Smith in Spiked begs to differ.
  • “Is it naive to believe asylum seekers?” – Your local vicar isn’t to blame for Abdul Ezedi, says Rev. Giles Fraser in UnHerd.
  • “Thousands march through Dublin to demand immigration controls” – Thousands of people attended a bank holiday march in Dublin to call for restrictions on the numbers of people entering the state to claim asylum, reports Gript.
  • “1000 Swedes demonstrated against public service – media remains silent” – FrihetsNytt reports on the media silence surrounding a large demonstration in Stockholm, protesting Sweden’s two public service channels for their failure to cover issues important to the Swedish public, such as the social problems caused by mass immigration.
  • “The establishment prefers distractions to solutions” – British politics only makes sense once you accept that most of its participants have little to no interest in actually fixing things, remarks Ben Sixsmith in the Critic.
  • “Labour’s green extremism will leave Britain in the dark” – Keir Starmer’s plan to decarbonise the electricity grid by 2030 is insane, says James Woudhuysen in Spiked.
  • “Was Brianna Ghey’s murder really motivated by transphobia?” – Brianna Grey’s murderers had a ‘kill list’ and their preferred target wasn’t trans. The culture war must not distort the justice system, writes Luke Gittos in Spiked.
  • “Diversity: such a strength, the BBC has to enforce it” –  Thanks to liberal progressivism, quality output at the BBC has been jettisoned in favour of woke pap, writes Frank Haviland in the New Conservative.
  • “My kingdom for some crutches” – A Shakespearean dispute has erupted over the Globe Theatre’s casting of Richard III, says Theodore Dalrymple in City Journal.
  • “Tusla officially offering menopause advice to men” – Tusla, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency, is officially providing menopause advice to men and ‘non-binary’ members of staff, according to Gript.
  • “The decadence of identity politics” – Among U.S. anti-cop legislators, ‘defund the police’ may have lost some currency, but ‘demoralise the police’ is doing just fine, writes Heather Mac Donald in City Journal.
  • “The pro-censorship activist group pressuring Big Tech to censor ‘climate conspiracies’” – Ideas surrounding climate are a growing censorship target online, says Didi Rankovic in Reclaim The Net.
  • “‘I don’t recognise our country anymore, I don’t know why we have given in to Islamists and terrorists’” – After a recent Douglas Murray speaking event was disrupted, he speaks to TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer about the chilling threat to free speech.

After a Douglas Murray speaking event was disrupted at the weekend, he speaks out about the chilling threat to free speech.
