Nick Dixon and Toby Young Discuss Ofcom’s Attack on GB News, the Perverse ‘Honouring’ of the ‘Butcher of Tehran’ and Geert Wilders’s Surprising Success

In the latest Weekly Sceptic, the talking points are Ofcom's thinly disguised political attack on GB News, the real reason the Butcher of Tehran's helicopter crashed and Geert Wilders' unbelievably based govt programme.

Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 88.

This week:

  • Nick and Toby talk about Ofcom’s attack on GB News, why it’s unfair and what’s behind it
  • We’re all gutted about the death of the President of Iran, obviously, but why did Britain’s Deputy Ambassador to the UN stand to observe a minute’s silence for the ‘Butcher of Tehran’?
  • Everyone thought Geert Wilders wouldn’t be able to form a government, but he’s built an unbelievably sensible coalition with a robust, Right-wing programme
  • And a brief canter through the stories we would have covered last week if Nick hadn’t been ill, courtesy of Toby
  • Plus everyone’s favourite section, Peak Woke, and premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which this week includes:
    • Donald Trump threatening to stand for a third term
    • The growing support for Trump among African-Americans and Hispanics
    • And Trump’s threat to send ‘kill teams’ to take out the leaders of the Mexican drug cartels
    • And in the Based Department, Toby nominates J.K. Rowling, Esther McVey and the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature for refusing to rename the ‘Hitler Beatle’.
