Are Novels Part of Our Cultural Malaise?

Why have nearly all the muckety-mucks in journalism been asleep at the wheel for the past three years, asks Dr James Alexander in the Daily Sceptic? Hopefully, the 'Lockdown Files' will shame them into action.
Matt Hancock "glutted on power and too obviously loved himself" says Lord Sumption, in a damning assessment of the "mediocre band of ministers" behind the Government's lockdown policy.
One reason Oakeshott has been given such a hard time is because she’s not considered 'one of us' by senior journalists. She’s an interloper, but one who appears to be better at her job than them, which is intolerable.
Hancock emerges from the Lockdown Files as a vainglorious pipsqueak. But he was just reading out a script written by other, more devious people behind the scenes. Who were they, asks the Daily Sceptic's in-house doctor?
After reading the Lockdown Files, Dr. James Allan says he is still seething mad at what the political class did to us. "And they did it to us without taking a pay cut."
In London Calling this week there is one almighty row about whether the Lockdown Files corroborate the cock-up explanation for the madness of the last three years or prove it was a WEF-led conspiracy.
Politics professor James Alexander says the Lockdown Files do not prove the Government’s pandemic response was driven by careerism and political calculation. He still detects the hands of conspirators at work.
The Telegraph's Lockdown Files reveal that most Covid restrictions were based on political expediency and cowardice, yet the rest of the mainstream media would rather attack Isabel Oakeshott than question themselves.
Eugyppius has weighed in on the Lockdown Files. His verdict? Like other leaked documents, they show the pandemic response was driven by dim bureaucrats and politicians, not fiendishly clever global conspirators.
Matt Hancock's calls to “frighten the pants off everyone" and "deploy the new variant" are new lows in the already incredibly sordid tale that is the Lockdown Files.
