The Weekly Sceptic

A Christmas Cracker

Dec 27, 2022

In this, the last Weekly Sceptic episode of the year, Nick and Toby run through their Christmas experiences, Charles’ lacklustre multicultural King’s speech, Rishi’s awkward homeless PR flop and Scotland’s (and the UK’s) gender recognition bill. 

The boys discuss the arrest of a woman praying in a ‘public space buffer zone’ and whether this law may be extended nationally. 

Toby and Nick discuss the covid Twitter files in this week’s edition of Birdwatch, how Martin Kulldorff’s peer review citing tweets were suppressed by Twitter, how Twitter was happy to follow various governments bidding to suppress bona fide medical debate and how that suppression of debate may actually have caused harm. 

Nick and Toby discuss their professional and personal highs and lows of 2022 and, of course, they contest this week’s title of ‘Peak Woke’.
