Nick Dixon and Toby Young Talk About Charles’s Lacklustre King’s Speech, the Arrest of a Christian Protestor For Thought Crime and Twitter’s Censorship of Science

by Will Jones
27 December 2022 11:19 PM

In the last Weekly Sceptic episode of the year, Nick and Toby run through their Christmas experiences, Charles’s lacklustre multicultural King’s speech, Rishi’s awkward homeless PR flop and Scotland’s (and the U.K.’s) reforms to the Gender Recognition Act.

The boys discuss the arrest of a woman praying silently in a ‘public space buffer zone’ in Birmingham and what the implications of this are if a law is passed making it illegal to protest outside abortion clinics across England and Wales.

They also talk about the Covid Twitter files in this week’s edition of Bird Watch, how Martin Kulldorff’s peer review-citing tweets were suppressed by Twitter, how Twitter was happy to follow various governments’ bidding to suppress bona fide medical debate and how that actually may have caused rather than prevented harm.

Nick and Toby go on to share their professional and personal highs and lows of 2022 and, of course, they compete for this week’s title of ‘Peak Woke’.

This week’s sponsor is Thor Holt and you can find him here or on his Telegram channel @thor­_holt.

About 40:00 No Toby – the fact that some in Twitter had doubts is not ground for hope. As Nick said, if some low level Nazis had doubts does not excuse the Nazi party or even the Deustche Volk from the horrors they inflicted on the world. The system failed, utterly. We need to address that.

also, to understand how it can go so horribly wrong.

I didn’t watch or listen to Chuck’s speech. I’m quite confident my poor expectations of it were met.

I’m struggling to understand why anyone would want to listen to Charlie-Boy’s vacuous ramblings?

I did hear him sympathise with us over the cost of living crisis. A bit rich for a billionaire proponent of the net zero policies which are causing the cost of living crisis. His own carbon footprint must be one of the largest on Earth. His lack of self awareness is breath-taking.

I am very late to comment on the last podcast, Apologies, but for some reason I was locked out of commenting even after another donation.

With the affair Clarkson, I have not seen anyone note that no real Sun readers would have been upset by the piece. Those pearl clutchers are either commenting on second hand reports of the article or only read it themselves with the intention of stoking their outrage.

Of course there is also the thought that no-one who watched the GoT scene without expressing outrage, have any right to complain now.

Only just listened to this. Intellingent and entertaining as ever, but the King’s Christmas message was actually pretty much up to the standard QEII’s always was (whatever you think of that). Personal/everyman lead in (‘Christmas for all of us who have been bereaved…’) Generally, if tritely, positive (lots of people volunteer at soup kitchens, so everything’s bound to end well. Or something). Remarks on Christmas itself explicitly Christian, but with a polite nod to other religions/the irreligious. And yes, it is relevant that he referred to visiting ‘the place of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s birth’ – not some ‘neutral’ term like ‘Jesus of Nazareth’. And then segue to a well-known carol.

Nice to know HMK is still more Christian than Joe Biden, a low bar granted.

Look, please do keep criticising CIII whenever necessary. A bit of conservative criticism is the only way to prevent the venerable institution of the Crown of England surrendering completely to the woke mob. But there’s no need to assume fault with everything all the time – we’ve got plenty of tradition-hating raving leftists for that.
