Happy New Year!

A while ago, especially for our Patrons, we watched convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza's 'documentary' 2000 Mules, which purports to offer evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, using a massive ballot harvesting scheme.

You'll be shocked to learn the evidence doesn't hold up to even a small amount of scrutiny.

However, a small amount of scrutiny isn't our style, so we instead subjected it to intense scrutiny and provided the most comprehensive fact-check of 2000 Mules on the internet. Since the movie is basically one long Gish Gallop, and debunking claims takes longer then claiming them, it took a while, so we hope you like long breakdowns of bullshit. This is part two - the first part came out on Christmas Day!

You're welcome/we're sorry.

Happy Birthday Fallacious Trump! This is the third of our birthday presents to you - Jim's Skeptics in the Pub talk about his work at the BBFC.

Streamed live on 25th March 2021

For over a hundred years, a small, secretive group of people in Soho have decided what you can see in UK cinemas and, more recently, on video and DVD. Who are they, how do they make their decisions, and why was Monty Python's Life of Brian banned in Torquay until 2008? Jim Cliff explains the origins and methods of the Board, and offers insights into his time as an examiner, the shift from censorship to classification, and how a cut he requested in 'Lilo & Stitch' led to an offshoot of the Pizzagate conspiracy theory almost 20 years later.

Jim Cliff was a BBFC Examiner from 2001 to 2009, during which time he classified over 7000 films, videos and video games. He is now a freelance video producer and host of the Fallacious Trump podcast.

About Skeptics in the Pub - Online

We are a coalition of UK-based Skeptics groups. Formed as the Covid-19 epidemic brought our country to a standstill, we are working to deliver high-quality online events focusing on science, reason, and critical thinking.

Happy Birthday Fallacious Trump! This is the second of our birthday presents to you - the second episode of our Q Anon Book Club!

In our second Q Anon Book Club episode we look at some of the best proofs Q followers (or 'anons') can come up with, which - as far as they are concerned - prove Q is real to a statistical certainty.

Of course, the Q community is big on not being sheeple and doing your own research instead of taking anyone else's word for it, so Jim didn't take their word for it and he did his own research.

Suffice it to say that Jim gets a bit angry in this episode at just how pathetically easy it is to debunk the best proofs Qnatics can come up with.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Fallacious Trump - this is your first of three birthday presents!

In the very first episode of our new Q Anon: An Invitation to the Great Awakening book club, we discuss the criminals who run the world and who are either the most famous people you can think of or people behind the scenes who you've never heard of, and the 'good guys' genius plan to unseat the all powerful cabal by picking the most beloved patriot in the USA, Donald Trump, because they needed someone they were 100% sure would win in a landslide.

Step 2 of 'The Plan' was to immediately arrest all the evildoers in Hollywood, politics, monarchies and the Vatican (you remember all those arrests back in 2017) and um... step 3... profit!

Oh, and the reason everything is just so goddamn awesome right now is that the good guys are winning.
