Nick and Toby discuss John Cleese joining GB News (and the ensuing and inevitable left wing meltdown), how the cancelled are so much more entertaining than the uncancelled, Andrew Tate’s breakthrough into the mainstream media (even if it’s only to discuss his cancellation in the non-mainstream media) and Hugo Rifkind’s (and Jay Rayner‘s) magic carpet ride to jobs in Fleet Street (both were the beneficiaries of inherited privilege, in spite of being firebrand progressives).
They talk about how libertarian conservatism is not that great a departure from punk rock, Stewart Lee’s continuing failure to recognise that he is now part of the Establishment, Kanye rise and fall (in the past week), whether white people should be excluded from events during Black History Month, Mermaids‘ spectacular own goal, why people filled with so much bilious hatred so often occupy ‘equality‘ positions, and why women and not men attract the the most aggressive, in-your-face hostility from Woke protestors (spoiler alert: it‘s because they‘re more vulnerable).
About two-thirds of the way through, Nick is joined by Daily Sceptic contributor Dr Noah Carl to talk about the likelihood of nuclear armageddon. And this isn’t just waffle – Noah has collated the percentages from the most eminent forecasters – the guys who have the best track record of predicting the future – and they’re alarmingly high.

I should say (most definitely) NOT worth reading in full.
p.s. Is there some other expression that could sometimes be used?
Despite being within the belly of the beast for three weeks and being ‘vulnerable’ on grounds of age and co-morbidities I have yet to be offered my first stabbing let alone a second.
Just keep your head down and you may be able stay jab free.
It’s working so far and now I’m a bit more out of reach.
‘Just say no’, as they used to say.
Good luck with your recovery.
Please tell me what’s lockdown sceptical about this?
It’s been quite a while since Lockdown Septics was actually sceptical. Trade Descriptions Act may apply.
What is the point of this article withoit comment?
Are LDS supprtive of vaccines? I think the loyal readers/commentators need to know now.
Fairly clear by now, that LS is not too sceptical Covid vaccines. I suspect that dropping the scepticism was always the plan and that they destroyed the once brilliant comments section, simply to limit the retaliatory damage, from those who were once ardent LS patrons.
Five million clowns now fully locked into the painful early death syndrome, but with a bit of luck, they will be able to have one last pint before they expire.
Sat on their own in a windy pub carpark with a face nappy wondering if making eye contact with strangers is still against the rules.
Anyone under 65 and in reasonable health has a higher risk of death from the vaccine than from the virus.
I’m waiting to see how events transpire 9-18 months down the line before making a judgement re the ‘conspiracies’. But I have prepared psychologically for losses.
Not 50% in Wales. According to Public Health Wales, only 30.9% of over 80’s have had the “vaccine”, despite significantly higher take-up in the 2 lower age groups. I’m curious as to why that is. I seem to remember that in Wales, a decision was made to give the AZ vaccine to the oldest age group. I can only think of 3 possible scenarios: more in this age group are refusing the 2nd injection, it’s being held back by gov/health agencies for some reason, or there’s a general shortage of AZ “vaccine”. I’d love to see the reported side-effects to date broken down by vaccine manufacturer AND age, but I’m not aware you can do that with the way the UK gov are publishing adverse events (unlike with VAERS data).
Another thing I’ve noticed is that the size of the over 80’s population in Wales as reported by Public Health Wales has been gradually reducing, and is now approx 660 less than 2 and a half weeks ago.
Five million people now have no need to fear my diseased person. Hurrah
It does not go down well, this cheer-leading for the vaccine programme. I’ll leave it at that. The ‘membership’ are not impressed.
I seem to remember Johnson recently saying that the under 50s would not be vaccinated as yet in order to allow older people to get their second jab. Am I misremembering? Or has it been seen that there are indeed blood clot problems with younger people and this is a secret way of suspending the vaccine for the under 50s just as has happened, for example, in France, Germany, Holland and Canada.
So that’s 35 million single use plastic syringes, so far. Plus all the single use plastic test kits and masks. Where is Greta when we need her?
