Nick Dixon and Toby Young Talk About Whether Klaus Schwab is Pulling the Strings, Clarkson and the Futility of Apologising to the Twitchfork Mob and Steve Baker Coming Out as Woke

by Will Jones
17 January 2023 11:34 PM

In this week’s super-sized episode, Toby and Nick discuss the Oxford Union debate – “Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far” – in which he and Konstantin Kisin both spoke in favour of the motion. Toby describes how Konstantin’s speech has racked up 20 million views on Twitter compared to his 30,000 (which Nick attributes to Russian interference).

They also discuss Reginald D. Hunter’s lazy smear against GB News and Stop Funding Hate’s targeting of Nick’s now famous ‘peanut allergy’ analogy to describe the over-sized influence of the trans lobby. 

They then move on to talking about Nick’s Andrew Bridgen article in the Daily Sceptic – “A Bridgen Too Far” – and whether invoking the Holocaust is ever a wise move.

This week’s first sponsor is The Jasmine Sari by Philip Tucker, available on Amazon.

Nick and Toby theorise about what’s behind the Conservative MP Steve Baker’s recent tweet about being an “LGBT+ ally” – Nick thinks it’s because Left-wing ideas have now captured even the Right of the Tory Party, while Toby thinks he’s trying to shore up his woke credentials because he’ll be looking for a job in the tech sector after the election.

They chat about Clarkson and the futility of apologising to a woke Twitchfork mob, how Harry accuses everyone of being a hatemonger (yet spews a fair amount of bile in his book) and how, within businesses, the pursuit of high social status seems to have replaced the profit motive.

Toby and Nick develop an idea for a new reality show called “So you’ve been cancelled” in which Jeremy Clarkson, Jordan Peterson and J.K. Rowling duke it out for top honours.

This week’s second sponsor is Dan Gaskin at Crest Mortgages (0116 5023 000).

Nick and Will Jones talk about the week’s most interesting stories in the Daily Sceptic and Toby and Nick discuss everybody’s favourite pantomime villain in Davos and Toby tries to persuade Nick that Klaus Schwab isn’t quite as powerful as he pretends to be, while Nick delivers a sobering rejoinder…

This week’s last sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here or on his Telegram channel @thor­_holt (visit here for Thor’s meet up).

And… Peak Woke is back!

Planet savers will be offended by facts again. Keep the hate speech coming against fallacy, fantasy and folly, Mr Morrison!

Reality will prevail over the madness of the crowd in the long run, as it generally does.

Informative retrospective going back 30 years from ex-Reuters journalist who’s seen the light:..

https://www.wintonsblog.com/climate-change-denial-is-an-oxymoron/

“…I’m getting bored being called a climate-change denier on LinkedIn, even though the charge instantly reveals the accuser as a science ignoramus who hates free speech.”

Surprised they haven’t seized on this as “evidence” that Net Zero measures are “working”.

But then I guess they’d have to admit that doing anything more would be pointless.

Maybe that’s because, on a global scale, essentially there are no Net Zero measures!

I bet this will happen eventually. It’ll be ‘well, it would have been much worse if nothing had been done’. Wish I could be around in 50 years to see what future generations are saying…

It’s frustrating that your work (and others) isn’t given a chance on MSM Chris. However, I take every opportunity to spread the message. If enough of us do likewise, then a groundswell of scepticism will eventually breakthrough.

I’m not convinced, judging by the massive ignorance on display in BBC HYS about the cold weather snap. It’s like Covid, they want to believe that the sky is falling

The sky can fall on them mate, just as long as it remains up there for thee and me.

And I turned on Channel 4 news last night just in time to hear the reporter on the California wild fires say ‘Now that climate change is bringing more of these extreme events…’ I switched off.

Any evidence that the climate alarmists don’t have a clue of anything and their predictions are all wrong is music to my ears.

That said I would make the following observation.

Is more antarctic ice a good thing? Maybe it is but maybe it isn’t. If it keeps advancing and we get a new ice age, that would be pretty scary and catastrophic.

Maybe it isn’t such a great thing that Antarctic ice has “recovered”.

It seems to be a racing cert that sooner or later, ice will expand. Interglacial periods typically last 12-15000 years and we’ve had most of our time. What will the ecoloons do then?

Top destination and investment for the super rich. Isolated and given the unevenness of the climate some of it may be trutly inhabitable in a couple of decades. Same is happening in the north. Major collaboration between Russia and China to open an Arctic sea route thereby bypassing the Suez Canal etc. This is the future but you wouldn’t know it in England. You get more of a sense of canniness by sitting by a couple of African businessmen in a hotel. They are completely clued up on a continental shift level. You would be amazed at how naive the discourse in this country is. Truly a goldfish bowl mentality and not long ago we used to take the piss out of the Yanks for being so naive.

The BBC has been leading it’s radio news bulletins with the idiot Rowlatt and the 1.6°C above pre-industrial temperatures all day, bleating about how all 10 hottest recorded years are in the last 20 sort of thing.

Could Chris please educate them on what proper measurements show and how the Class 4 and 5 measurement stations have been knitted out of melted chocolate fireguards?

It’s infuriating being scammed; to know you’re being scammed …. and also that you can do nothing about it.

I’m just resisting the nonsense as much as possible and refuse to “go along” with the narrative. It’s all I can do.

Excellent article, as always, Mr Morrison. What a valuable contribution you make in resisting the net zero madness.
