Nick and Toby discuss whether (Kan)Ye West is mentally imploding, destroying the system or creating performance art. They also debate whether Ye praising Hitler is better or worse than Diane Abbott praising Chairman Mao… They talk about the limits of free speech, whether dinosaurs are real and Twitter colluding with the Democrats to stifle the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. And of course Trump’s reaction to the Twitter bombshells (and the inevitable Left wing meltdown)…
Toby and Nick talk about Meghan and Harry’s Netflix release timing, Charles’s reported fondness for B.O. and the Dixon family’s intolerance of Whisky. They debate the shifting demographics of the U.K. and whether mass migration has been a success compared to the rest of Europe.
Nick is joined by the Daily Sceptic’s editor, Will Jones, to discuss this week’s featured stories.
And, of course, Toby and Nick join battle again for the title of this week’s ‘Peak Woke’.

I dropped my car off for a service yesterday and got a bus into Birmingham. As it drove along the Tyburn Road into Aston, it looked like a cross between Blade Runner (on a bad day) and Beirut and walking around Birmingham, well don’t even go there!!! We are finished.
Toby you’ve lost the plot a bit on this one.
Muslims vs Hindus recently, ‘Asian’ (Muslim) r*pe gangs, stabbings and gang violence in London, terrorism and on….
How can you even begin to claim mass immigration a roaring success?!
We are importing people who hate us.
Disappointed and surprised by Toby’s take on mass immigration. Even more disappointed and surprised by the tone he took – almost scolding. He also contradicted himself, drawing on the diversionary argument of criticism of mass immigration being based around race, not culture, and that multiculturalism is embedded in our history and there being no such thing really as ‘English’ culture. He then went on, correctly, to acknowledge that English culture is affected by immigrants that refuse to integrate fully into English society. He completely tied himself up in knots by stating that there wasn’t really an English culture, then going on to say how that same culture (the one that doesn’t exist) can be eroded. Of course there is an English culture, and of course it’s being eroded – eroded by a million tiny cuts of which the examples are becoming almost endless.
I know that nobody will be reading these comments now, but on the off chance that Nick or Toby may occasionally take a peek, I felt the need to further explain why I felt so disappointed by Toby’s take on this, so…
Toby, almost literally, saved my life. I was starting to spiral into a deep, dark well of depression, feeling I was alone, that the world had gone bat shit crazy and virtually nobody seemed to notice. Then I found this site. The articles and the comments section definitely pulled me back and for that I will always be eternally grateful to Toby.
I listen to most of the podcasts and, with respect the James & Toby one, mostly find myself agreeing with James, but sometimes also with Toby. Often my beliefs sit somewhere in the middle. The podcast with Nick & Toby normally feels a little more light hearted, although there are clearly many topics on which they disagree. I’m completely with Toby on the latest podcast talking about Kanye West and Jews – I think any excusing is deplorable and I think Nick’s counterargument may well have got under Toby’s skin. Anyway, I may have misinterpreted it, but Toby’s “people like you” seemed to me to be delivered with a little venom… almost disdain. I am also a person like Nick, so that also felt it was directed at me, which it was. There will be many, many others that feel the same. Now, that’s not a problem at all; this is what free speech is about, and the right to disagree and possibly offend is part of that right. It’s a right that must be upheld if we are going to have a society that has meaningful debate which can change minds. So it’s not really that I was disappointed by. What it was I think, and I’ve been trying to understand this myself, is that Toby epitomises what it means to be English – great sense of humour, calm, quietly passionate, polite, self-deprecating, welcoming, patriotic (I thought)… an all round decent bloke – somebody that if you wanted to hold up as an example of the product of English culture, Toby would be at the front of the queue, but Toby doesn’t seem aware of this himself; isn’t aware that the culture that he represents so well is under threat. It’s that sad irony that rankled.
No, Toby, we don’t think Brit’s are racist.
