🧵The report comes from Cates and Krugers New Social Covenant, they have a manifesto type document that is essentially Christian Nationalism, they would regard anything except "marriage is the regulation of baby making" to be inappropriate RSE content
2/ The New Social Covenant is designed to import the US Conservative Nationalism agenda into the UK, the kind of people involved are

Peter Thiel

Carlson Tucker
Charlie Kirk
John Bolton

3/ So it's no suprise that an agenda backed by people who supported election denial is also willing to back a report that is short on any real evidence

The alternative experts the Telegraph are saying the covid inquiry should be including are those behind the Brownstone Institute

This is the kind of messaging coming out of the Brownstone Institute's paid fellows⬇️
Toby Young and Will Jones of the Daily Sceptic are Brownstone authors

🧵While claiming to be defenders of freedom of speech, the culture wars is about allowing the far right a platform without scrutiny or accountability while suppressing and delegitimising views they disagree with

Now they call to destroy the "woke" enemy, its fascism
2/ This is from the Federalist which is a big driver of the culture wars agenda in the US and influences debate in the UK

"Accommodation or compromise with the left is impossible"
3/ It argues power must be wielded to destroy the left and install Christian Nationalism
Starve Universities of funds that don't toe the line
Remove "travesty of no fault divorce"
Forget about libertarianism, remove the mask and underneath is fascism

This is Bob Moran, sacked by Telegraph but still popular with writers such as Pearson

He's a HART member, Toby Young is selling his T-Shirts and none of the sceptics will call out his incitement to violence

🧵Whilst we are on the subject of "scaring the pants off people" shall we have a look at how harms of lockdown and all measures were constructed with little evidence?

"Message needs to be harder hitting, invoking 'permanent harm' to children"
2/ This resulted in the 100k ghost children stat, claiming they had been lost to education

They haven't, this is actually the figure for high absence, mainly due to sickness from covid according to DfEs own stats
3/ Lockdowns led to a rise in suicides?

Its a complex issue but the stats so no

Notice how the upwards trend starts in 2010 with austerity
