1.  News Review 30th August
This is the week that was….

The week was dominated with reaction to the previous week’s PHE (Public Health England) announcement over a 111 page Review, which was extensively reported upon Worldwide. The Daily reactions will be charted culminating in Friday’s shoddy Lancet journal Editorial which tried and spectacularly failed to discredit the groundbreaking and excellent Review.

News Review 6th September

This is the week that was….Once again a week dominated by the fall-out and propaganda from the highly significant PHE announcement, increasingly desperate attempts to discredit or give counter-narratives appeared in many sources worldwide. Monday was a major holiday in the UK so no news was published for that day (giving the editor a well deserved break!)
