Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 94
This week Nick and Toby talk about:
The final week of the General Election campaign, in which Nigel Farage lost a step and Rishi Sunak finally brought his A game
Whether to believe the eve-of-election MRP polls showing the Conservatives neck-and-neck with the Lib Dems on around 60 seats
If the actor in Channel 4’s ‘exposé’ of Reform in Clacton was a genuine activist or a paid shill
Kemi Badenoch’s spat with David Tennant and whether she was playing the race card when she said it was a bad look for a rich white guy to criticise the only black woman in the Cabinet
And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:
A rant against the two Garys – Gary Neville and Gary Lineker
Marine Le Pen giving Emmanuel Macron a bloody nose in the French parliamentary elections
The US Presidential election debate and the terrible price Biden’s team have paid for pretending the attacks on Biden for being too old to do the job were just ‘misinformation’
Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, which this week has a clear winner – the Glastonbury Festival-goers who passed around Banksy’s inflatable dinghy, complete with inflatable migrants
And in the Based Department, the guy who won $175,000 in compensation from the police after he was arrested for giving an officer the finger and... tractors!
