It will be some time before we have a full picture of the true nature of this coronavirus crisis. However, even at this stage a picture is beginning to emerge based on some initial hard data. It is a picture that is quite different to the one routinely presented in the mainstream media, where a... Continue Reading →
It’s not the virus spreading exponentially but the number of tests, study shows
As the number of Covid-19 tests increases worldwide, what are they telling us? If the mainstream media are to be believed they are showing an epidemic that is spreading exponentially. But what if that is an illusion? It sounds strange, but a German researcher, Dr Richard Capek, has analysed the tests in the United States... Continue Reading →
Ventilators aren’t the answer – save just 1 in 10 coronavirus patients, data shows
It’s all about the ventilators, right? That’s what they’ve been saying. The reason we’re decimating the economy and in totalitarian lockdown is so there are enough ventilators to go round when we hit peak demand. That’s why we have to flatten the curve, suppress the virus and all that: so that more lives can be... Continue Reading →
What’s the coronavirus exit strategy? There isn’t one
The BBC has run an article by their health and science correspondent James Gallagher asking the critical question: When will the outbreak end and life get back to normal? As James rightly points out, coronavirus is ‘not going to disappear’. Yet ‘the current strategy of shutting down large parts of society is not sustainable in... Continue Reading →
Coronavirus lockdown “useless, grotesque, collective suicide” – World-renowned virologist
A world-renowned expert in medical microbiology, Professor Sucharit Bhakdi, has said that blaming the new coronavirus alone for deaths is ‘wrong’ and ‘dangerously misleading’. There are other more important factors at play, he says, notably pre-existing health conditions and poor air quality in Chinese and northern Italian cities. In the interview, Professor Bhakdi condemns the... Continue Reading →
No, coronavirus is not ‘much worse than flu’
Following my post yesterday, I have been told the reason Covid-19 warrants such an extreme and costly response (one that itself puts millions of people at increased risk through isolation and destitution) is because its mortality rate and infection rate are both well above that of ordinary flu. This is incorrect. In terms of the... Continue Reading →
Coronavirus: is the ‘cure’ worse than the disease?
So the government has now confirmed that churches and other religious gatherings are included in the ‘social distancing’ they are advising all to observe. Anglicans await guidance from their bishops about what this means in practice. It is disappointing that the government only mentioned this in answer to a question rather than as a key...

The judges who invented the ‘human right’ to transgenderism
Just when it looked as if we might be getting somewhere on the trans craziness, another quango pops up to remind us how deep the ideology runs. The Mail on Sunday reports that Sport England has offered up to £25,000 to consultants to consider the competition rules for elite-level sport to take account of transgender issues. The outcome of...

A double Lammy – David’s racial hypocrisy
After growing up in a diverse, multi-ethnic society and struggling to understand his place in the world, a prominent MP recently took a DNA test and located the people and land of his origins. On visiting them, he was struck by a revelation of how much at home he felt to be among people who... Continue Reading →
This national child grooming programme must be fought
Sex education in primary schools is tantamount to grooming, in effect if not intention. That’s what MPs were baldly told by a head teacher last week. He explained it was doing this by lowering young children’s natural inhibitions. This moment of truth took place at a Parliamentary briefing organised by the Lords and Commons Family...
