  • “Charity warns that 35,000 Britons could die of heart valve disease ‘unnecessarily’ this year after face-to-face NHS GP appointment numbers fall since Covid” – Deaths from a highly treatable heart defect could soar because fewer patients are being seen face-to-face by GPs since the pandemic struck, a leading charity has warned, reports the Mail.
  • “The Criminal Censorship of Ivermectin’s Efficacy By The High-Impact Medical Journals” – Dr. Pierre Kory says high-Impact medical journal editorial staff were “getting orders to censor ivermectin studies from Big Pharma and ‘philanthropaths’ like Bill Gates”.
  • “A new report prepared for the Liberal Party of Canada shows that the vaccines have no benefit for those under 60” – Steve Kirsch highlights a new report for the Canadian Liberal Party which concludes: “The Ontario data show that vaccination currently makes little difference in terms of hospitalisation and death rates for those below age 60.”
  • “How flawed statistics have manipulated the Covid narrative” – Listen to Professor Norman Fenton’s presentation to U.K. Doctors For Patients on September 14th.
  • “Closing ranks against the truth” – El Gato Malo looks again at the lab leak cover-up and says the problem with conspiracies is that even when they work, it’s hard to make them last.
  • “Manchester To Shut Down in 2027 If Carbon Targets Are To Be Met” – Paul Homewood on the story that Manchester’s carbon dioxide emissions target is so unrealistic that councillors have been warned the city will emit by 2027 what it wasn’t supposed to emit until 2100.
  • “Is Ron DeSantis the Future of the Republican Party?” – Matt Flegenheimer in the New York Times writes that for years, Democrats have worried about the prospect of a more disciplined heir to Trump, and in Florida’s pugilistic Governor, that candidate may have arrived.
  • “The esoteric creed of King Charles” – Theo Hobson in the Spectator with an overview of the new monarch’s beliefs, summing it up as “natural religion”: “It used to mean the creed that underlies all the major religions that comes naturally to humans. But its other meaning, of reverence for nature, is just as important to him.”
  • “This pompous new eco-mob has launched the most self-defeating climate protest yet” – Michael Deacon in the Telegraph says the “nitwits gluing themselves to roads were tiresome enough, but the ‘Tyre Extinguishers’ are even more insufferable”.
  • “Kwarteng considers blanket discount on business energy bills” – The Chancellor is drawing up a support package ahead of a mini-Budget, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Could Putin still trigger nuclear war?” – Nick Cohen in the Spectator says it’s not necessarily likely, but the scenario that everyone seems to be studiously ignoring is that a desperate Putin could use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine.
  • “Observing whiteness in introductory physics: A case study” – Whiteness shapes many practices in physics classrooms that are often thought to be neutral, according to this un-parody-able woke study in Physical Review Physics Education Research.

  • “The world has entered a dangerous and self-indulgent new Age of Unreason” – Janet Daley in the Telegraph says the death of the Queen seems to mark the definitive end of the 20th century, and the era of confidence and prosperity.
  • “How the culture war became a crusade” – Andrew Doyle writes in the Spectator that we have “somehow found ourselves in this mystifying scenario in which self-declared ‘liberals’ are advancing an illiberal agenda, ‘leftists’ are failing to stand up for left-wing ideals, ‘social justice’ means the opposite of what it says, and ‘anti-racists’ are creating a more racist society”. 
  • “In the second half of the 16th century, Britain plunged into an energy crisis. At the time, the primary source of energy driving the British economy was heat derived from the burning of wood, and Britain was literally running out of trees” – Doomberg with a fascinating history lesson on Twitter about energy efficiency, and the lack of it.

1/ In the second half of the 16th century, Britain plunged into an energy crisis. At the time, the primary source of energy driving the British economy was heat derived from the burning of wood, and Britain was literally running out of trees.
