  • Always more of staunch Rev. J Franklin

    Psalms, Bible readings, musings - more of the good Father. A good man is Cox, on a journey so he is - perhaps he could ask Nick more questions than go on normie rants. I respect Nick’s intellectual fortitude and bravery. More impressions wouldn’t go amiss. Nick is genuinely talented and funny.

  • The deep thinker and the normie

    Nick Dixon is a deep thinker and a funny guy. His insights are entertaining and thought provoking and he makes it very clear how his opinions are formed, making him very accessible and interesting, leaving plenty of room for disagreement. Paul Cox is a total normie whose conclusions were reached 20+ years ago by ‘awake’ folk. Best example: he’s always at pains to show he’s not racist even though no sane person would think he is.

  • Good, but...

    Nick Dixon is genuinely funny and also brave - within the limits of the law he says what he believes. He's not afraid of being shunned by polite society - perhaps by his own admission because he has no friends (he has one, called Paul). I could do with less of the hypochondria, and he could thicken his skin a bit, but these are minor quibbles. Five stars for him alone.

    Paul Cox needs to learn to be more concise. He rambles on making fairly uninteresting points, using phrases like 'in no way, sh... more
