Hugging and expert overreach
It seems to me when experts are telling us what basic physical contact is and is not safe for us, we have a problem. Links I didn’t mention this in the video, but there are lots of benefits to hugging – see this website for example. I wrote about experts here earlier on in the…

How fear leads to lockdown
Why did lockdown happen? Frank Furedi argues in an article on Spiked that we were already primed for lockdown because of our culture of fear and safetyism. But how do we combat fear? My article on Understand the Bible about the fear of the Lord is here.
