by Luke Perry
25 October 2021 11:23 PM

  • “It is too soon to reach for ‘Plan B’” – “So, while the Government can point to statistics that do not imply the reimposition of restrictions, this is not good enough for those whose principal response to this public health issue has been to demand tougher and swifter measures,” reports the Telegraph.
  • Get tough on anti-vaxx protests outside schools, Priti Patel urges police” – Home Secretary speaks out as Sir Keir Starmer calls for exclusion zones to prevent demonstrators ‘spreading misinformation’, reports the Telegraph.
  • “The new public health despotism” – Draconian rules are suppressing our humanity, argues Matthew Crawford in UnHerd.
  • “Serious adverse reaction risks behind those child jab invitations” — “Nowhere does the three-page letter mention the possibility of adverse reactions, and children are being asked to turn up no more than five minutes before their appointment, which means no time to discuss any concerns,” writes Sally Beck in TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “Our constellation of concerns over vaccine for children” – A collection of senior doctors and scientists have written a letter addressed to Sajid Javid, Nadim Zahawi, and others, about the dangers of vaccinating children, in TCW Defending Freedom.
  • “Retailers fear ghosts of lockdowns past will ruin Christmas sales” – Rising profit warnings and the end of Government support threaten to take the shine off sector’s ‘golden quarter’ for a second year running, reports the Telegraph.
  • “A ‘nudge’ too far? The rise of behavioural science and technocratic rule” – A transcript of Laura Dodsworth’s opening speech at the ‘Battle of Ideas’ talk in London, published in her latest Substack update.
  • “Undeclared hazardous components in nasopharyngeal test swabs used in Covid PCR tests” – “Aluminum and silicon can both present health hazards, and this can explain the rapid-onset nasal bleed and strong and lasting adverse reactions reported by the tested individuals,” writes Peter Grandics in Trialsite.
  • “New Zealand is moving to a two-tier society, but the unvaccinated are already a global underclass” – Protests and unrest are growing as more countries are tightening restrictions on those people who have not been jabbed, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Ron DeSantis wants to pay unvaccinated Chicago police to go and work in Florida” – In Chicago, 21 officers have been placed on “no-pay status” for refusing to say whether they have received a Covid vaccine, reports the Independent.
  • “Arkansas Governor: Covid vaccine mandates are increasing resistance to vaccines” – “Covid vaccine mandates are increasing resistance to Covid vaccines, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said,” Zachary Steiber reports on the Arkansas Governor’s recent attack on mandatory vaccination measures in the Epoch Times.
  • “Our commitment to net zero has become quasi-religious. It needs to be scrutinised properly” – The ultimate effect of this rushed strategy could be to push political and economic power East, into the hands of Beijing, writes Ian Duncan Smith in the Telegraph.
  • “Bins overflow in Glasgow just days before leaders meet for Cop26” – “Nicola Sturgeon has challenged polluting nations ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference and asked them to ‘step up’, despite bins overflowing in rat-infested Glasgow,” reports the MailOnline.
  • “Boris Johnson is no green superhero” – The Tories will destroy the countryside — not save the planet, argues James Rebanks in UnHerd.
  • “Listen, it is not racist to criticise Saudi Arabia” – Police are investigating a football fans’ banner that mocked the Saudis, writes Brendan O’Neill in Spiked.
  • “The anti-woke rebellion has begun – but the arts have a bigger problem” – A new report aims to help museums and galleries navigate the culture wars. But first these institutions must reject our culture of offence, writes Ella Whelan in the Telegraph.
  • “The ACLU is now siding with the censors” – Its advocacy of trans rights has come at the cost of free speech, argues Wendy Kaminer in Spiked.
  • “Will your favourite children’s book be cancelled?” – “Classic children’s books in a Cambridge University archive are set to be labelled with ‘trigger warnings’ for ‘harmful content relating to slavery, colonialism and racism’,” reports the MailOnline.
  • “Why I didn’t apologize for that Yale Law School email” – We must end the culture of performative repentance, writes Trent Colbert in Persuasion.
  • “The dangers of removing social media anonymity” – Toby tells GB News: “If we were to make anonymous social media accounts unlawful, that would be taken as a green light for oppressive regimes around the world to enact a similar policy.”
