Boris Johnson had one job in his first speech since recovering from his bout with coronavirus. Unsurprisingly he failed completely.

Left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore is promoting a new documentary he executive produced about the environment — Planet of the Humans — and many of his usual supporters are going nuts.

Britain’s lockdown is based on the computer modelling of a scientist with a track record of failed predictions and whose widely-criticised methodology is subject to such secrecy, he still has not released the source code underpinning his model.

The city of Milan in Northern Italy is exploiting the coronavirus lockdown to reinvent itself as a paragon of green virtue.

Every year the world should commemorate the coronavirus pandemic by spending a week in quarantine, The Wire star Idris Elba says.

The George Cross is Britain’s highest civilian award for gallantry in extreme danger, often awarded posthumously for acts of stupendous courage and self-sacrifice. In 1942, King George VI conferred a collective GC on the island of Malta for its heroic endurance during a wartime siege lasting nearly two and half years of near-constant attack by the Germans.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has gushingly thanked the National Health Service (NHS) for having ‘saved’ his life. Oh, dear. This is going to backfire horribly.

What if the experts our governments are relying on to give them policy advice are the wrong experts? We can’t vote scientists out of office…

The release of Cardinal George Pell from prison and the quashing of his sentence by Australia’s High Court is a long overdue correction for one of the greatest miscarriages of injustice in Australian history.

Finally, some good Coronavirus news: the pandemic has caused the collapse of Europe’s carbon trading market. According to Recharge News: The Covid-19 pandemic has turned Europe’s carbon price upside down, with prices dropping by 40% since early March when they

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been treated in a National Health Service hospital for Chinese Coronavirus. I wish I could say he was getting the best available treatment. But given that the NHS is involved, I somehow doubt it.

Britain’s response to the coronavirus crisis has been seriously impaired by Public Health England (PHE), which has proved itself to be “dangerously slow, excessively bureaucratic, and hostile to outsiders and innovation”.

Smoking may reduce the likelihood of being hospitalised with coronavirus, claim researchers at the University of West Attica and NYU.

The United Nations’ next big climate conference COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland has been ‘postponed’ for a year.

Britain’s drastic lockdown policy may be based on a flawed and unreliable model devised by a scientist with a track record of failure.

The coronavirus lockdown is a misguided social experiment which may do more long term damage than the disease, two academics have warned.

Police enforcing the British government’s lockdown have been trying to ban convenience stores from selling Easter eggs because they are “non-essential goods” — despite it not being at all clear that there are actually any rules mandating what shopkeepers can and cannot sell.

Lockdown measures imposed by governments to tackle coronavirus may be excessive and based on false assumptions, writes James Delingpole.

A 21-year-old woman who was reported as having died from coronavirus may not have had it after all. 

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for Coronavirus, making him the first world leader known to have contracted the disease.

The coronavirus pandemic is turning sections of the populace into tinpot fascists. I call them #CovidNazis.

When all this is over we’re going to look back and see who has had a good war and who has had a bad war; who called it right, who covered themselves in glory, who showed themselves to be an hysterical bedwetter, who placed too much trust in the wrong “experts”, and so on.

The eco-fascists are showing their true face in the Coronavirus pandemic, with XR activists exulting in the loss of human life.

Just like in war, the great coronavirus plague is bringing out the best in people and the worst in people.

President Trump has now said the most important thing anyone has or will say on the coronavirus pandemic so far.

Here’s a coronavirus story to gladden the heart: boffins at a UK-based vacuum cleaner firm have put together a working prototype for a cheap, easy-to-make ventilator to fill the massive shortage in British hospitals.

The incidence of COVID-19 is dramatically lower in malarial countries than in non-malarial countries, one researcher claims.

The world economy is collapsing because of the terror and mounting death toll caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. But the anti-malarial drug chloroquine is effective both as a prophylactic and treatment for the virus – and the medical establishment has known about this since at least the SARS coronavirus outbreak in 2005. What the hell is going on?

Sure this Coronavirus pandemic is a misery but I’m much more optimistic than most at the moment. Here’s one of the reasons: there’s an effective treatment already and it’s available and cheap, according to studies.

Italy is now the coronavirus epicentre. Pity the poor fools who were seduced into giving out hugs to signal their virtue.

These siren voices urging expanded government — and more reckless spending of OUR money — are dangerous, really dangerous.

Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists, increasingly overshadowed by the coronavirus, have been discussing new and ever more desperate ways to grab attention for their next big publicity stunt.

Sadly, Fox probably isn’t going to be the next James Bond. But he at least got an apology and settlement from the actors’ union Equity.

Boris’s Conservatives have proved every bit as disappointing as the quite fantastically dismal Theresa May’s and David Cameron’s Tories.

President Trump has suspended all travel from mainland Europe. If this sounds excessive you clearly haven’t been paying attention.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Boris has unleashed a budget so profligate it would make a drunken sailor on shore leave blush.
