In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are Kevin Spacey getting cancelled despite being cleared, the FA refusing to light up Wembley in honour of Israel and the Daily Wire doing its own Snow White.
Ian Price wonders what further atrocities Hamas will have to commit before the BBC decides to call them terrorists. And why is the Corporation so reluctant to publish its report into its own historic antisemitism?
