Welcome to episode 23 of the Sceptic! On the show this week, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following guests:
- David Shipley, a writer on prison reform for publications including the Spectator, on the two-tier justice in the Government’s heavy crackdown following the Southport killings.
- Nick Arlett, one of the Tooting Four, a group of anti-ULEZ campaigners who were arrested for peacefully protesting against the road tax and who’ve now been convicted of harassing the London mayor, Sadiq Khan – a charge they’re now going to appeal.
- And for our premium subscribers, Laurie speaks to David Turver, author of the Eigen Values substack, for a deep dive into the eye-watering cost of Net Zero subsidies.

Some terrible stories. It just adds to my disrespect for the police and judiciary.
Nobody who had not lived through the past 25-30 years of British politics could imagine any of this. Each of the three reports describe disgraceful public services and suffering by the people.
Past monarchs have been displaced and killed for less.
if the current situation persists we will be in for a tough time. More likely it will get worse. The implications of it getting worse may result in a government very different from anything we have known and it might not be pleasant.
I am not confident of outliving this terror.
We quite literally live in a police state.
I wish I could say I am shocked or surprised but I cannot. But if Starmer and his gang think they can get away with this they have another think coming. And I hold the Tories and LibDems equally responsible because they been quietly or not so quietly acquiescent in the loss of our freedoms over the last 25/30 years, most particularly freedom of speech. Contrary to the will of most of the electorate.
The real problems for the government will come in the new year when cold weather will inevitably lead to power cuts and the trial of the Southport killer will lead to some interesting revelations. This is a one term government and better still the last Labour government ever to be elected.
