The Weekly Sceptic

The World Cup of Virtue Signalling

Toby and Nick speak about FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino’s idiotic view on colonialism, Qatar’s hair trigger defensiveness, our knee taking England team’s ‘OneLove’ armband climbdown, the bravery of the Iranian team and David Baddiel’s blackface apology. They also discuss the Donald being reinstated to Twitter (yet choosing not to return), the inevitable blue tick meltdown, the other returning Twitter dissidents and whether Elon Musk is a benign dictator. 

The DailySceptic’s editor, Will Jones, joins Nick to run through this week’s featured stories. 

And lastly Nick and Toby wrestle (figuratively) for this week’s weekly crown of ‘Peak Woke’.
