Peter Hitchens is Right: Labelling a Child as Dyslexic Only Makes Them Worse Tue Mar 18, 2025 17:00 | Joanna Gray
Peter Hitchens is right, says Joanna Gray: labelling a child as 'dyslexic' only means they give up trying to read. We think we're helping by giving them 'support' but all we've done is undermined their confidence.

Jump To Comment: 1 217 farmers have died from a new disease found in the Sechuan province of China. Authorities have said it is neither SARS nor Bird Flu and most probably a bacterial infection from handling dead pigs.
The symptoms cannot be spread from human to human, and those most at risk from animal carcasses are people with vulnerable, low immune systems, officials said.
Experts had expressed fears that pigs, which can also carry human influenza, could accelerate mutation of the bird flu virus into a form, which can be transmitted between people.
The symptoms reported "seem consistent" with streptococcus suis, said Bob Dietz, a spokesman for the World Health Organization's Western Pacific region in Manila.
China has assured its pork market from Hong Kong to most of Asia that there is no risk posed by eating frozen Sechuan pig.
