The growing aggression of the anti-vaxx mob is a sign they recognise they are marginalised and losing the argument.
It should be easy to identify those who stormed a Milton Keynes testing centre, taking equipment. They should be prosecuted.
Insulate Britain is no longer the country’s most unpopular protest group. The hearts of the eco warriors, unlike the nutty conspiracy theorists, were at least in the right place.
With up to 90% of ICU Covid patients not fully vaccinated and UK infections at a record high of 183,037 a day, inoculations and precautions are obviously vital to prevent the NHS buckling and many more lives being lost.
And internet giants must do their bit to prevent these anti-vaxxer cranks from spreading their dangerous lies and hate online.
Value nurses
Half of nurses thinking of quitting the NHS is a potential health crisis as well as a huge vote of no-confidence in the Conservative Government.
Covid has added to the usual stresses and strains but the tragedy is that tired, over-worked essential workers feel under-valued by Tories, from the Prime Minister down.
It’s understandable, as Tories clapped their heroics then clamped their cars by reintroducing hospital parking charges in England.
Roaring inflation of 5.1% means this year’s 3% pay “increase” was a real-terms cut, even before next year’s higher taxes and fuel bills.
Unless nurses are respected and properly rewarded, we will all pay a terrible price.

Given the emergence of fresh evidence, we acknowledge a small element of doubt in the narrative and regret accepting evidence from one William Shakespeare.
