Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 96.
This week Nick and Toby talk about:
- Where they were when Trump was shot (in the ear).
- The tsunami of bad takes about the attempt to assassinate the former President, from the Denver Post headline – ‘Gunman Dies in Attack’ – to David Baddiel half-jokingly suggesting Trump conspired to have himself shot.
- Was the failure of the Secret Service to protect Trump a cock-up or conspiracy? Toby thinks cock-up, Nick isn’t sure.
- The fact that Biden has also benefitted from the failed assassination attempt in that is has snuffed out the coup to replace him and made replacing him less attractive since Trump’s victory is now inevitable.
- And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:
- Trump picking J.D. Vance as his running mate, which both Toby and Nick think is smart.
- England’s loss in the Euro finals and Gareth Southgate’s resignation as manager.
- Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the Science Museum’s decision to stop being funded by a Norwegian energy company and Toby rails against the Key’s advice to teachers to liken the British Empire to Nazi Germany.
- A new section devoted to the most egregious examples of anarcho-tyranny in the past week.
- And in the Based Department, the clear winner is Donald Trump — what could be more based than reacting like he did to being shot at? — and the runner up is Health Secretary Wes Streeting for making his predecessor’s temporary ban on puberty blockers permanent.

“Jabit ‘expects’ chief medics to overrule JCVI on ‘vaccination’ for 12-15 year olds”.
He is going to destroy public trust in government at this rate.
I must say things are suddenly looking a lot more upbeat today. We seem to have won against vaccine passports, although must keep ever vigilant both to ensure the free market eradicates places which choose to use them and that they can never be tried in future. I’m now in a place where I can make an informed medical choice about whether or not to have the vaccine without fearing I’d be submitting to coercion, so I’ll likely sign up for it as soon as I’m fully confident cancelled plan means cancelled plan.
The potential of Boris finally changing direction and doing what he claimed he was planning for from the very start looks hopeful, Sweden after all is doing very well. We just have to ensure our hopes are not dashed against the rocks this time.
If he’s truly serious the coronavirus act will be binned rather than voted on again, that will be the key evidence as to whether the leaked announcements are finally a junction off the road to tyranny, or just new lane signage.
But Morrison’s and other businesses can still discriminate against the “unvaccinated”, as well as the problems that remain for people travelling abroad.
Still, I seem to remember there has long been a suspicion that “vaxports” were merely a ruse to “encourage” the young to get “vaccinated” which would later be dropped (I wonder if they’ll drop those patronising adverts now?). So this would fit that narrative. You never know, we might get away with it, at least for a few more months.
Yesterday the Beeb- yes, the Beeb! – was running a feature about youngies who were saying that the Nazipapiere threat would make them less likely to take the snake oil. Straws in the wind…
“ I must say things are suddenly looking a lot more upbeat today.We seem to have won against vaccine passports..”
Polyanna isn’t a good model!
If only that were likely true…this is lying POS Johnson we’re talking about…
Could you explain why you are considering taking the vaccine?
“Grotesque conflicts of interest on NIH Ivermectin non-recommendation”.
Thanks for drawing attentin to this Michael. I repeat, it is vital that people are aware of conflicts of interest with people and organsations who are telling us to do, or not to do something if we are to make an informed choice..
It used to be that exposing conflicts of interest among the powerful was one of journalist’s favourite things.
I remember Christopher Booker writing about Tim Yeo’s conflict of interest over wind turbines. HOw we could do with journalists of his ilk today!
I suggest that the Chinese Hockey Team, rather than experiencing fear, are actually trying to jin up fear. Especially since Sweden didn’t fall for the CCP’s propaganda and lock down their country.
Exactly. This ^^^^^
The picture encapsulates the attitude of slave states towards free states. It isn’t Covid that the Chinkies fear catching from Sweden.
I have never played ice hockey, but, having played “hockey” as we call it in the UK for over 50 years, I doubt whether the person on the right with the crutches has much to do with playing the sport.
Might have been clouted with a Hockey stick perhaps? They are wicked things when wielded “accidentally”, as I’m sure you must have discovered from time to time.
Lol!
Bed wetters.
They look absolutely ridiculous – even more so considering the role played by their country in this whole farce
Welcome back Flu. After an absence of what must be two winters you are back.
Where did you go? How come you disappeared off the face of the earth?
We did not have to inoculate against you. There were no outbreaks ruining the lives of our elderly.
What a strange world it has been.
and it’s about to get worse for the vaccoids….
Tickerguy (Karl Denninger) is starting to see evidence of subsets of ADE, called VEI (vaccine enhanced infection) appear in the US
Basically, the vaccines (they’re not vaccines) enhance infection from new/different coronaviruses and the infected person crashes much harder than normal.

Tickerguy got a 7 day ban on Twatter and has asked to get this out as much as possible.
Cannot get to site.
Dear Deirdie, I am really worried and I do not know who to turn to.
I visited the Bronte museum at Haworth in Yorkshire last Thursday and I was the only person there who refused to wear a face nappy and the place was crowded.
Should I now expect there to be a massive Covid infection outbreak in Haworth because of my selfish irresponsible behaviour?
My sense of guilt is becoming overwhelming and I feel that I cannot live with myself.
Please help me or should I take the honourable way out?
Yours in desperation, “Worried” from Shropshire.
Dear Worried
Everyone there was wearing a face mask to protect others , not themselves . This means that the only person who could have been infected anyone is you . The good news is that if you didn’t have any symptoms you were probably not a spreader . It was estimated that about 1 in 75 in England had the virus so the odds are in your favour.
In the unlikely event that you were a spreader , as they were all masked up, the chances are that they were double innoculated so completely immune from infection and death.
Continue as you were.
Many thanks Arfurmo.
I feel much better now.
The Chinese hockey team should stay ‘under the bed’ rather than travelling as though they are on a ‘space’ mission…space…outer space or convid space…ha ha!
Did the the clown in No. 10 just lead the wee communist crawnkee into a vax passport trap – knowing she would announce VPs early like she does with everything else – only for Bozo to pull the plug on the VP madness…
Hope he does the same thing with medical experiments on Kids…
No – he is much too dim for that; the vax passport threat was just to get the unthinking yoof to take the poison.
He hasn’t stopped the passports. They openly admit they are still on the cards. It’s just that there aren’t enough”cases” yet to ramp up the fear to introduce them. But this winter there will be – see Israel.
Incredible broadcast from Max Igan here, reporting the madness from Australia. Includes a clip of a US military official announcing that the Taliban has been left with $85 BILLION worth of US military equipment including 70,000 vehicles, 200+ helicopters & planes, weapons etc. Meanwhile the British military is being jabbed with something which Molecular Biologist and Immunologist Dolores Cahill says could kill a very high % of the vaccinated in the next few years. Do the math, as they say.

Also here is a great video looking at the infamous DEAGEL website – the military spending forecast website which UK population dropping from 68 million to 14 million by 2025. Massive drops in US and German populations also predicted.
DEAGEL Forecasts Massive Depopulation by 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY4Wahyo5n0
I came across the Deagel information about a year ago – it terrified me. If you read the comments below the Youtube video, you’ll see people who claim that the information was available in 2010.
People still can’t bring themselves to accept that this is about depopulation.
Chickens coming home to roost:
Australian man brutally beats a policewoman who told him to move on while enforcing Sydney’s draconian lockdown that only allows people to leave their home with a ‘reasonable excuse’
Here is the likely default response of a decent conservative person to this kind of story a couple of years ago:
“This is a shocking attack on people merely trying to do their jobs, not making the laws themselves, but having to enforce them, etc etc.”
This is my response now:
This is what happens when the police are used to impose tyrannical, authoritarian laws on people against all principles of decent governance. Any member of the police force who has remained in uniform while these laws have been imposed by brutal force, and while dissenters have been beaten and fined by police, should expect no sympathy when they encounter this kind of pushback.
The individual officers might well be innocent and might well hate the laws they have been told to enforce, but so were those beaten and fined by the police for disobeying the wrongful laws they have been enforcing. And in this case it appears from this report at least that they chose to enforce the laws in question,when they always have the choice in these cases to turn the blind eye – these are not laws that protect citizens from attacks of any kind, that a police officer ought to be expected to respond to. The correct response from a police officer seeing someone breaking these wrongful laws is to walk away.
In Australia even more so than here, the police collectively chose their side on the coronapanic, and they chose the wrong side.
No sympathy.
I’m surprised worse hasn’t happened given the extremely disproportionate events of the last 18 months.
Especially in Australia, where police collaboration with tyranny seems to have been far worse than here.
Australia is an example of Covid madness, and its totalitarian enforcement, in extremis because of our delusory pursuit of Zero Covid. The police have been infected by the hyper-hysteria as much as any other institution and the individuals within it, but because they wear the blue uniform they can exercise their power against lockdown opponents with abandon, and to public acclaim.
It must also be easier for them to arrest and beat ordinary civilians than to tackle genuine criminals who are difficult to catch and who pose some threat to them – a much easier way to boost the number of ‘collars’ and fines meted out to meet their KPIs in their peformance agreements with their bosses (I’m still waiting for the police to find out who stole my last two, quite expensive, bicycles – not holding my breath, though).
Dissenters within the police ranks are few and far between, though their number is edging upwards as both the New South Wales and Queensland state governments are coming after them with ‘No Jab, No Job’ policies. Now the cops might start to find themselves the victims of their own Covid zealotry. Those with a conscience will be weeded out or resign, and that will leave only the hardcore lockdown enforcers in the ranks.
It’s grim Downunder. I’d book a flight to the Mother Country to escape it all but the regime won’t let anyone leave the country.

South Australia
Yes, it’s clear in this country as well that a lot of policemen and policewomen believed the regime and media fear propaganda, and bought into the scapegoating of dissenters. More fool them.
“It must also be easier for them to arrest and beat ordinary civilians than to tackle genuine criminals who are difficult to catch and who pose some threat to them“
All the more reason not to feel any sympathy when they get occasional pushback, as in the case described.
Not good for anyone, but as always it’s vital to remember “who started it”, and that was the panicking scum who thought it was ok to impose their personal cowardice on decent folk, by force.
The tweet at the bottom of the round up about the Chinese hockey team is from a psychopathic lockdown zealot who spends his life portraying Sweden as a mass grave where every single person has died of the rona. Please don’t sully our screens with the ravings of a lunatic.
The follow-up tweets are a hilarious tribute to blind idiocy
Pic still hilarious though.
“Sajid Javid warns of possible bad flu season due to concerning levels of immunity following COVID restrictions last winter”
It’s known as “having your cake and eating it”
Isn’t it strange how being a lockdown sceptic also reinforces your belief in the King’s new clothes syndrome?
I think that the TV quiz show; Pointless is absolutely brilliant and one of the best of it’s type that I’ve seen in over 60 years of viewing.
BUT: Dispite spending weeks at the top of the best sellers and Steven Spielberg buying the film rights,
Richard Osman’s debut novel, The Thursday murder club, in my opinion is one of the most boring and forgettable books I’ve had the misfortune to read.
It was a Christmas present from Mrs FP and when she tried to read it, she couldn’t get past the first 30 pages or so.
Like lockdown, people just seem to go along with every fashionable opinion and trend that experts, advisors and critics tell them to follow, dispite what they truly think themselves.
