Woke War 3

Welcome to The Weekly Sceptic, episode 73!

This week:

— As the world creeps ever closer to all-out war, Nick and Toby discuss whether they’d fight for their country— Laurence Fox loses his lawsuit, but why is it libellous to call someone a paedo but not a racist?— After distancing herself from the plot to replace Rishi Sunak, Kemi Badenoch turns out to be in a Tory WhatsApp group called ‘Evil Plotters’— What accounts for the ideological gender divide and is it possible to have a relationship with a political opponent?— The UN Secretary-General constantly warns us about the ‘global threat’ posed by online ‘hate speech’, but isn't the fact that the UN employs actual terrorists a bigger threat?— Is ‘Stand Off at Eagle Pass’ a genuine news story or a long-forgotten 1940s Western? — Should Trump really have to pay $83.3 million to EJ Carol?— Plus Peak Woke and, for premium subscribers only, Review the Reviews.
