  • The Woke Olympics
    Jul 31 2024

    Welcome to The Weekly Sceptic episode 98

    This week Nick and Toby talk about:

    The Olympic opening ceremony and why the world’s biggest religion was mocked, in spite of artistic director Thomas Jolly wanting to make it ‘inclusive’.

    Why Suella Braverman isn’t standing in the Conservative leadership election and whether Kemi is the Tories’ best hope (Toby thinks so).

    The violent incident at Manchester Airport last week and whether the police officer at the centre of it was justified in his use of force.

    Tommy Robinson’s recent difficulties and the difficulty in deciding whether he‘s a free speech hero or a free speech grifter.

    And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:

    The attempt by Big Tech and the MSM to memory hole the assassination attempt on Trump and whether their mendacious tactics are likely to get Kamala Harris elected.

    Kamala’s attack on J.D. Vance for being ‘wierd’ and J.D.’s response.

    Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick is unimpressed by a South African woman’s request for asylum on the grounds that she wants to continue her polygamous marriage in England and Toby regrets the RAF deciding to drop the name ‘Crusader’ from Squadron 14.

    And in the Based Department, it’s a toss up between Donald Trump and J.D Vance.

    Welcome to The Weekly Sceptic episode 97

    This week Nick and Toby talk about:

    The strangeness of Biden’s announcement that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election and the inevitable conspiracy theories that it’s given rise to.

    Was Biden’s withdrawal from the Presidential race a palace coup? How much did he really know about it? Why the gap between the announcement and his endorsement of Kamala harris?

    Can the Democrats ever pose as the guardians of democracy again, given that it’s now obvious the elected President hasn’t been in charge and the process of selecting his successor has been so undemocratic?

    Does Kamala have a hope of beating Trump? Does she have anything going for her? She’s younger than Trump, but can the Dems really make age an issue in the election, given that Biden was the candidate until five minutes ago?

    Why is Kamala such a poor public speaker? Is it because she’s such an awful boss she can’t persuade anyone decent to work for her?

    Have the Democrats foisted themselves with a Presidential candidate who was a diversity hire? Will this be another nail in the coffin of DEI?

    And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:

    Kim Cheatle’s resignation as Secret Service Director after a monstering in Congress and whether she could have avoided that humiliation by resigning the day after the failed assassination attempt.

    The Leeds riots and whether they are an indictment of mass immigration, as Nigel Farage and others claimed.

    Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the punishment of a seven year-old girl for writing “All Lives Matter” and Toby weeps at the demonisation of the Prince Albert Memorial.

    And in the Based Department, the clear winner is the judge who handed out stiff jail sentences to Roger Hallam and his Just Stop Oil comrades.

What a load of nonsensical crap.

What a load of nonsensical crap, is absolutely what I would say if I wanted to trigger Nick; however, I love this podcast and listen on my commute every week. Nick's & Toby are the perfect duo, the father and brother I never had delivering brilliant satirical and forensic analysis of the cultural and political events of the week. I've even joined the Free Speech Union.

Fantastic podcast!

I listen to your podcast every single week, even when I am abroad! Can't live without that fresh air in our asphyxiated by wokeism society!
I am very much interested in live events as well ( I've been to one in the Emanuel Centre).Definitely would come once a month.
Thank you both for this great podcast!!!

Nick Dixon is destroying this podcast

Nobody wants to listen to Nick endlessly working out his father issues with Andrew Tate on a podcast.
