The Weekly Sceptic

World Economic Harem

Welcome back to this week’s episode where Toby and Nick discuss how the global elite, after a hard day’s work saving the planet, like to pick up prostitutes in Davos. They consider Clarkson’s recent column in the Sunday Times (and Toby’s summary of it in the Daily Sceptic, which went viral) where Jeremy and his son discuss the war on free speech and Nick and Toby develop their idea for a reality show for cancelled celebrities.

Nick talks about Steven Crowder turning down the Daily Wire’s paltry $50 million offer and discusses his Daily Sceptic piece on the same being given a C– by an anonymous GETTR user. They go on to wonder why no-one is offering them $50 million dollars to appear on a YouTube channel, which Nick attributes to American media personalities having higher expectations than their British counterparts. Nick and Toby go on to describe the chasm between how celebs are treated in the UK compared to the US and they both lament about not getting enough make-up on GB News.

Toby and Nick talk about the hilarious parody Twitter account ‘TCMA’ completely fooling the media while tweeting out that ‘Natural Woman’ by Aretha Franklin was offensive and Lionel Richie’s ‘Three times a Lady’ was in fact a story about a non-binary person. And they wonder where the parody trans teacher with the large breasts went.

Toby brings Nick up to speed about the latest Government plan to ban LGBT conversion therapy and why this might actually be much worse than it sounds.

This week’s second sponsor is Dan Gaskin at Crest Mortgages: https://www.crestmortgages.co.uk/ 0116 5023 000
