Along_the_Wire I’m not saying The Spectator is wrong here, it was certainly right about opening up fully in the summer, but it’s a rampant right-wing rag that was against all the lock downs and restrictions of 2020. Right bunch of cunts.
And quoting the Telegraph? Do me a favour Hugo. At least I’ve done the respectful thing and stopped posting bullshit from the other end of the spectrum with the Guardian
Ross Clark at the Spectator (and sometimes Telegraph) has consistently been pretty much the only journalist from a major publication who has been correct throughout the pandemic in calling out the consistent over-estimates in government/Sage predictions and over-reactions in policy, while pointing out the genuine trends in data.
How about you take your partisan, prejudiced blinkers off for a second? When the Guardian has been consistently lying to you and fuelling hysteria then surely the more accurate answers must lie somewhere else?! Even if that may be where your prior biases would not hope to find them.
Pray tell, what other publication(s) have been closer to being as spot on during the pandemic, given that we can both agree that the Guardian has been posting unmitigated “bullshit”?
The Spectator have tracked rolling data showing Sage’s tragic predictions throughout the pandemic versus the reality; you don’t see this anywhere else, where the nonsense views of Sage are still parroted without question:

If you must continue to think of them as “cunts” then suit yourself, but it shouldn’t get in the way of your recognising that sometimes the supposed “cunts” might actually be correct, and the people you’d prefer not to be the "cunts’ are actually the ones being the “cunts”. There is also certainly no justification for you dismissing the presenting of completely valid information as “bullshit” either, just because the messenger is someone you don’t like.
