News Round-Up

by Will Jones
12 May 2024 12:37 AM

  • “Switzerland’s Nemo triumphs at controversy-hit Eurovision” – The non-binary singer scored 365 points with the juries and 226 from the public for a total of 591. Israel’s Eden Golan failed to win over the juries, scoring just 52 points from the professional judges, but she scored a massive 323 from the public – including 12 (top points) from U.K. viewers.
  • “This Eurovision protest with Greta Thunberg is an ugly new low for the anti-Israel Left” – Why is a young female Israeli pop singer being treated as if she’s somehow to blame for what’s happening in Gaza, asks Michael Deacon in the Telegraph.
  • “Biden’s sudden betrayal of Israel is a terrible miscalculation” – Washington fails to see that even if Netanyahu fell from power, his successors still want to destroy the terrorists, says Douglas Murray in the Telegraph.
  • “BBC Arabic repeatedly uses commentator jailed for role in murder of Israeli” – A Palestinian jailed for his part in murdering an Israeli man is used as a regular contributor by the BBC’s Arabic channel without his conviction being disclosed, the Telegraph reports.
  • “How universities raised a generation of activists” – In the Spectator, Yascha Mounk says it was only a matter of time before America’s student protests spread to the U.K.
  • “Why is Russia’s economy booming despite sanctions?” – Russians are spending more on restaurants, white goods, and even property – despite Western sanctions, they have never had it so good, says Alexander Kolyandr in the Spectator.
  • “Dominic Cummings isn’t Britain’s saviour. He’s the reason we’re in this mess” – Let’s not forget that Boris Johnson’s former advisor-turned-nemesis championed draconian lockdown measures, says Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph.
  • “Congress’s Unscientific Spillover” – Virologist Alex Washburne’s take on the Congress lab leak grillings in Brownstone.
  • “Some good news at last” – Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson with the welcome news that the WHO Pandemic Treaty agreement has been ‘delayed’.
  • “The Greens have lost their ‘nice’ tag for good” – The party that “once offered wholesome ideas and a safe protest vote is becoming home to the hard Left ejected by Labour”, says Janice Turner in the Times. I’m not sure how wholesome Green Party policy has ever been – it’s always seemed like a radical Left outfit to me.
  • “Saboteurs opposed to ‘automobile capitalism’ fail to storm German Tesla factory, claim credit for stopping production on a scheduled holiday when nobody was at work in the first place” – Eugyppius’s essential take on the Tesla anti-capitalism protests.
  • “Is U.K. Rainfall Becoming More Extreme? Not at Oxford” – Paul Homewood defies anybody to find a pattern or trend towards rainfall becoming more intense in Oxford on WUWT.
  • “NOAA’s Latest Temperature Climate Data Establishes There is No Climate Emergency” – NOAA’s temperature data as addressed in detail in this essay do not support and clearly refute climate alarmist hype that we are experiencing a ‘climate emergency’, says Larry Hamlin in WUWT.
  • “Civil Service diversity jobs will be scrapped” – A radical overhaul will forbid civil service managers from hiring any new staff dedicated to boosting equality and inclusion, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Wasteful Whitehall diversity and inclusion spending will end” – Read Esther McVey’s Telegraph article announcing the measures.
  • “The West’s multi-racial societies cannot survive woke doctrines being promoted on campuses” – Intolerant and illiberal, the identity politics that has taken root in our universities will ultimately have to be stamped out, says Dan Hannan in the Telegraph.
  • “Has the SNP really turned its back on identity politics?” – The Spectator‘s Iain Macwhirter isn’t convinced.
  • “Private school entrants drop as Labour’s VAT plan blamed” – New figures reveal a significant fall in enrollment numbers at independents, as strained parents reconsider their options, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Welsh Labour using satellites to spy on homeowners and hike tax” – The Welsh Government is using satellites to spy on homeowners with big gardens as it seeks to overhaul council tax, according to the Telegraph.
  • “This is what racism looks like in 2024. And to think people worry about ‘microaggressions’, what a joke” – Jake Wallis Simons on X castigates those booing Israel’s entry in the Eurovision crowd.

So for at least the second year in a row (pronounced either way), in the never-to-be-taken-too-seriously Eurovision Song Contest, the public chose the winner – this year Croatia (with Israel second) and last year Finland – but by the freak of the European Broadcasting Union’s gerrymandered voting system, neither were allowed to win, and instead the winner was chosen by panels of juries whose votes overrode the votes of the public.

Who chose the juries and why? Why were their votes so vastly different in many cases from the votes of the public?

The message from the EBU is that the public cannot be trusted, not even with a not-to-be-taken-too-seriously song contest, and elite woke ‘experts’ know better.

The juries will have been selected by and from the woke elites whose opinions are always and everywhere different from the public. I am sure this morning they wake proud of what they didnot embarrassed to find they are so at odds with fellow citizens.

“Dominic Cummings isn’t Britain’s saviour. He’s the reason we’re in this mess”

Let’s not big his role up too much here, it’ll just go to his head. There are any number of other globalist ghouls equally if not more responsible for ‘this mess’.

We’ve had three blessedly warm days in a row now and my greenhouse seedlings are finally starting to get going. When are the ‘its all humans’ fault’ stories going to start cropping up in the propaganda media, or has that big yellow ball in the sky coughing megatons of plasma in our direction put a temporary kybosh on things?

UK gets Nil poi from the peoples vote in the eurovision!
Is anyone surprised?
Olly Alexander can’t sing, the song was crap and him and his mates were seen having virtual gay sex in a filthy flying public space toilet! It was fu£king disgusting and deserved none of the points it got, just kept reminding me of the George Michael toilet sex scandal, what a fabulous choice for a music video setting!

“Washington fails to see that even if Netanyahu fell from power, his successors still want to destroy the terrorists, says Douglas Murray in the Telegraph”

Perhaps the USA like the EU want to prove they can remove any elected leader whenever they want. I am sure it is getting rid of Netanyahu they want and care little about his government’s policies on Gaza.

I would say that the West does not generally understand the clarity with which Israeli’s see what is ‘in the national interest’.

“A radical overhaul will forbid civil service managers from hiring any new staff dedicated to boosting equality and inclusion”

I cannot access the article because of the pay wall. However, the following headline, apparently in the same publication is not supported by the first report: “Wasteful Whitehall diversity and inclusion spending will end”

Wasteful spending on these things will only cease when all existing staff engaged in those roles are sacked or (if they have any other useful skills) re-assigned. Just stopping the pile from growing does not eliminate the dung heap.

How many £billions have already been wasted on these dispensers of divershitty garbage? It doesn’t bear thinking about.

The UK has a national debt of at least a £trillion and the idiots who are in charge just keep on borrowing and spending as if it’s Monopoly money.

There’s bound to be some moron who will want to continue throwing good money after bad and challenge the woeful lack of DIE ‘training’ in the courts sometime in the future.
