Dear reader, With much of the country now effectively in full lockdown, the debate in Westminster has switched to when regions might be allowed to exit Tier 3 restrictions. Should we instead be debating the whole concept? Janet Daley makes the argument that, even by the Government scientists’ own logic, it’s time for a rethink. While better treatment means that Covid-19 is becoming less deadly, its many other long-term effects remain the subject of much study and debate. With the coronavirus now linked to Parkinson’s disease and delirium, Harry de Quetteville explores the strange and worrying ways it is impacting our brains. The National Trust has been no stranger to controversy in recent years. Still, it must have been a shock to read our exclusive report that the Charities Commission is considering an official investigation into the organisation for straying from its purpose. Simon Heffer argues forcefully that it’s quite plain to see where the Trust has gone badly wrong. Finally, Asbestos is no more. The town in Quebec will soon be known as Val-des-Sources after locals decided a rebrand was in order. While the name was thought to be deterring investment, the loss of it will put off tourists, says Rob Crossan. After all, he argues, there are few greater travel pleasures than a silly, and preferably lewd, place name. Chris P.S. We have a special offer for our From The Editor readers.
