In Spiked, Fraser Myers covers the “trial” of former UK prime minister Boris Johnson. The venue is supposed to be an unbiased evaluation of the country’s handling of Covid-19, to better prepare for the next pandemic. Myers shows how the process is instead attempting to solidify a pro-lockdown narrative by twisting statistics and ignoring key facts such as non-lockdown Sweden’s low rate of excess deaths.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
