How Covid deaths are recorded.
I thought I would provide a summary, as devoid of polemic as possible, of the arrangements for recording deaths in modern Britain, in force since the beginning of the Covid crisis. I have quoted at length the opinions of John Lee, a pathologist expert in these matters, but express none of my own.
Just 11 months ago, a major change in the gathering and presentation of death statistics in this country took place. The Health Protection (Notification) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 https://www.legi...

This is Peter Hitchens���s Mail on Sunday column

Full response to an attempted attack on me by the Government Toady 'Private Eye'
Private Eye, once a satirical magazine, now an establishment rag, has today published an attack on me.
My rebuttal:
The ���Private Eye��� attack begins with an important error and a blatant suppression of important material..
