Welcome to The Weekly Sceptic episode 97

This week Nick and Toby talk about:

The strangeness of Biden’s announcement that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election and the inevitable conspiracy theories that it’s given rise to.

Was Biden’s withdrawal from the Presidential race a palace coup? How much did he really know about it? Why the gap between the announcement and his endorsement of Kamala harris?

Can the Democrats ever pose as the guardians of democracy again, given that it’s now obvious the elected President hasn’t been in charge and the process of selecting his successor has been so undemocratic?

Does Kamala have a hope of beating Trump? Does she have anything going for her? She’s younger than Trump, but can the Dems really make age an issue in the election, given that Biden was the candidate until five minutes ago?

Why is Kamala such a poor public speaker? Is it because she’s such an awful boss she can’t persuade anyone decent to work for her?

Have the Democrats foisted themselves with a Presidential candidate who was a diversity hire? Will this be another nail in the coffin of DEI?

And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes:

Kim Cheatle’s resignation as Secret Service Director after a monstering in Congress and whether she could have avoided that humiliation by resigning the day after the failed assassination attempt.

The Leeds riots and whether they are an indictment of mass immigration, as Nigel Farage and others claimed.

Everyone’s favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the punishment of a seven year-old girl for writing “All Lives Matter” and Toby weeps at the demonisation of the Prince Albert Memorial.

And in the Based Department, the clear winner is the judge who handed out stiff jail sentences to Roger Hallam and his Just Stop Oil comrades.
