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!

I enjoyed the episode. Nick referred a couple of times about some problems he is dealing with, just want to say I'm thinking of you and I hope you come out of it all safe and well. Keep it up Buddy.

Excellent point Nick. Only party which does not discriminate against white people is Reform. Diversity hires on all the front benches and in all the devolved parliaments. Character , skills and experience don’t count.

When is Toby coming home? This remote format means Nick talks too much and Toby not enough.

It's a good thing Toby speaks less as most of what he says is misinformed. He is good on his fsu stuff and the machinations of the Conservative party but it's obvious he doesn't have his finger on the pulse re American politics. He is so afraid of being called a conspiracy theorist he rejects all but the mainstream. I am a member of the fsu have bought him a drink but at times I don't believe he believes what he is saying.

I beg to differ. He’s not afraid of being called a conspiracy theorist. He just favours cock up over conspiracy. As most sensible people do. People aren’t clever enough to create these conspiracies.

Toby is hopelessly naive if he can't see that the Channel 4/ Andrew Parker event was staged.
