Welcome to this week’s Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 36!
Nick and Toby discuss the coronation, the arrested protesters and the selective outrage of the ‘free speech’ supporters (who were notably silent during the lockdown protests). Nick admires Penny Mordaunt’s big sword and predicts a Meghan/Xena-esque response. They debate whether an absolute monarchy would be preferable to a constitutional one. 
Nick and Toby discuss whether they believe the Queen said Meghan was evil — Toby is sceptical, even though he thinks it’s true.  
The Tories got smashed in the local elections and Toby and Nick discuss whether the Conservatives are finished or not. 
Andrew Doyle hosted a televised debate between Andrew Bridgen and Fraser Myers about Myers’ polemical attack on Bridgen in Spiked. The boys discuss who did better and why it may have been a missed opportunity. 
They then move on to ‘Across the Pond’, the section of the show about the US, and he and Toby discuss the accidental killing by choking/restraint of a threatening homeless man (Jordan Neely) on a New York subway train. Tucker vs Fox heats up a little as Tucker says he’s going to go nuclear. And Toby brings us the latest on the Bud Lite / Dylan Mulvaney saga and whether Bud Lite may have, in fact, got a raw deal. And Nick discusses the rumour that a former first lady might, in fact, be a man. Nick then falls into a very deep rabbit hole.
