Q: "While Beasley said the pandemic and government lockdown policies are driving the disturbing trends – stating the “cure could be worse than the disease because of the economic ripple effect” – he noted that “man-made conflict” also had a role to play, naming ongoing wars in Syria, Yemen, and South Sudan."

Q: "British police were widely criticised for their policing of the first lockdown, with forces stalking dog walkers with drones and fining Britons for going to the shops to buy “non-essential” items.

Lord Sumption said in March: “This is what a police state is like — it is a state in which the government can issue orders or express preferences with no legal authority, and the police enforce minister’s wishes.”

Q: "A farmer who used a 16-ton bulldozer to destroy a riverside beauty spot has said he acted to protect local homes from flooding.

He said he was asked to carry out the work for free as he was fixing the erosion of the river bed and was helping to solve flooding issues.

Local residents said they had asked the Environment Agency to clear the blocked river to prevent more flooding, but their appeals failed."
