14 year-old Jack Watson has written a piece for the Daily Sceptic about the impact of the pandemic on his education. He says the only lesson he learned in two years is the rules don’t apply to those who make them.
Should Britain pay reparations to the developing world for being the first country to industrialise? Or should the developing world thank us for creating the economic model that has lifted billions out of poverty?
A recent poll found far more people blame the war in Ukraine for the cost of living crisis than lockdown. But the data are clear: inflation started as lockdown ended and no impact from the start of the war can be seen.
The UK has backed a $1 trillion climate 'reparations' initiative that would require it to hand over huge sums to poorer countries due to its alleged culpability for their 'extreme weather'.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast, the talking points are the double standards of woke willy-waving, Eddie Izzard gatecrashing all-women shortlists and our new pint-size PM.
In this week’s London Calling we discuss whether Rishi’s coronation is a WEF coup, the oddity of Just Stop Oil attacking a man who agrees with them about everything, and whether the world ‘globalist’ is anti-Semitic.
Rishi Sunak’s installation as Prime Minister is not the result of a globalist plot masterminded by the WEF. If there’s an invisible hand at work, it’s that of the financial markets.
Arguments about how ‘conservative’ the leadership candidates are is pointless since no one really knows what ’conservatism’ means and looking back to Bolingbroke, Burke or Oakeshott doesn’t really help.
Even if you dislike Boris because of his support for lockdowns, vaccine passports and Net Zero, he would be a better PM than Keir Starmer and Labour will be more likely to win the next election if the Tories choose Rishi.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast, the talking points are the self-destruction of the Conservative Party, Graham Norton's woke confusion and Jeremy Hunt’s remarkable comeback.
