The BBC may have leaned towards pro-lockdown coverage of the coronavirus pandemic in a reaction to the threat to its funding, former Supreme Court Justice Lord Jonathan Sumption has said.
Jonathan Sumption was very sound on the issue of lockdowns, but he is wrong about the cause of excess deaths in 2022, writes Nick Rendell.
Jonathan Sumption has written a splendid piece for the Spectator, explaining exactly what's wrong with the Online Safety Bill and its creation of a new category of speech which is ‘legal but harmful’.
Former Supreme Court Justice Jonathan Sumption has weighed in on Partygate to say it exposes both the moral deficiencies of Boris Johnson and that those writing the lockdown rules clearly didn't believe their own hype.
Lord Jonathan Sumption has delivered a blistering attack on SAGE's "garbage Covid models" and the ever-changing position of the goalposts for exiting lockdown, asking: "If the vaccine is not an exit route, then what is?"
A "climate of fear" is preventing experts from speaking out against the Government's handling of Covid, with many having withdrawn from the public debate after being threatened and smeared.
Lord Sumption has warned that masks and social distancing could last for years, saying it is "unrealistic" to expect the Government to remove these "emergency" measures soon since the public has become so used to them.
Lord Sumption has criticised the act of assuming the worst when lacking evidence, saying that those unwilling to understand the science "have no moral right to demand coercive measures against their fellow citizens".
