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

by Toby Young
22 May 2024 7:00 AM

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’.
