Saturday quiz
Well, this week I scored a convincing victory over political journalist John Rentoul: he scored only 2/10, whereas my score was 8/10. I did not know the answers to questions 5 and 10. I admit that I guessed the answer to question no.1, but that still counts.

Now, Biden is demented; back then, in 2019, he was just a very obviously unpleasant person. Were he not a politician, notunder public scrutiny, and were he in, say, an Irish-American bar somewhere, one could imagine him viciously assaulting his interlocutor.
The Harry Formerly Known as Prince, and Meghan Mulatta, are a pair of one-trick ponies. They are rapidly becoming yesterday’s news, except as a kind of joke.
So, again, who is hurt by sanctions against Russia? The consumers and taxpayers of western and central Europe. Not Russia or Russians. The gas produced in Russia will still be sold elsewhere in the world, and Russian citizens are, if anything, better off than they were before the sanctions were imposed.
“Western decadence”, or just “Western” madness?
A strange “war”, in which Ukraine (Kiev regime) allows transit of Russian oil exports through its territory (at a price) and, until last week, Russia allowed the Kiev regime to export grain.
Eliminate the users and you also eliminate the dealers, importers, chemists, as well as the social problems resulting from drug abuse.
Is it not the other way around? Whatever. The fact is that there is little clear blue water between the two major System parties, a fact many voters have started to realize.
There is a good chance that, whoever wins the next U.S. Presidential election, the USA will take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.
Take them down!

So even a columnist of the rather comically misnamed ‘The Independent’ (the leftist, pro open borders, pro globalist PC values bias is actually very evident) reports that drug decriminalisation doesn’t work.
Well, that is not surprising. If you take away the ‘forbidden fruit’ aspect then, naturally enough, more people will give the product a try.
To tackle drug abuse successfully there is a need to restrict BOTH drug supply and demand. In short, it requires a very comprehensive, multi-pronged approach by government and many members of society to get behind it.
In other words, the approach needs to be like that of Singapore with tough BORDER CONTROL (here to looking like you, Border FARCE, under the globalist Tories), very tough and deterering penalties for dealers regularly applied by the criminal justice system, anti drug abuse education in schools and society more generally warning about the dangers of drug abuse, drug abusers to be given help to quit their habit ect. In effect, a whole societal approach with the aim of instilling an anti drug abuse ethos to the society.

Singapore is one of the very few countries in the world to have fought this drug abuse problem with a decent amount of success though, sadly, the problem isn’t entirely a matter where the battle can be won totally.

Having fewer or, preferably, no degenerate drug abusers like the member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove) in the House of Commons might be a good way to illustrate the dangers of drug abuse to people in general and to our youngsters in particular.
I bet there are no drug abusers in Singapore’s parliament or that of Japan where drug abuse is similarly frowned-upon. Indeed, so much so that in 1980 Sir Paul McCartney found his fame and fortune were no barrier to the authorities there deporting him for taking drugs. Unlike ‘Disneyland with the Death Penalty’ ie Singapore, drug dealers in Japan are not hanged though I believe I am correct in stating this did happen in the past. Nowadays, the courts can impose a whole life tariff and they have no qualms in doing it.

But not if President Biden stands again and is re-elected. Showing that Twitter clip of Trump reminds me of this little video of him on Youtube:
Ha, ha, take it away, Donald Trump, my main man!😀😃🤣🤣🤣

Several things to comment on:
A) I don’t believe Trump will stop the aid to Ukraine as swiftly as he is saying. Do you remember the famous “Great Wall” he was going to build?
B) The Poles always hated the Russians but they also despised the Ukrainians (a kind of 2nd rate Russians 😁 😁 😁) However, good for the Poles for not importing Ukrainian grain which, obviously, they DO NOT need!
C) The so-called “fashion shows” are usually “degeneracy shows”; the whole of Western Europe has become a new “Weimar republic”
D) Biden was always a POS and a coward because he knows he can count on his bodyguards if things get nasty. Having said that, the same could be said of the vast majority of the politicians across the Western world.

The US President’s Secret Service bodyguards do not stop people from shouting at him, or even waving things such as banners near him, but are ready to neutralize any actual physical threat.
As you say, Trump cannot be trusted, but I think that he would cut back on support for the Kiev regime.
Poland’s agricultural sector is politically-powerful (and, as you know, was never collectivized, even in the post-WW2 days when Stalin was alive and installed Rokossovsky as Defence Minister of Poland. As Stalin said, in Politburo discussions, “imposing socialism on the Poles is like trying to saddle a cow”. The Poles have decided to allow *transit* of Ukrainian grain, but not sale inside Poland.
Without exports of grain by sea from Black Sea ports (not only Odessa), the Kiev regime becomes even more dependent on Western subsidy.

Biden sure is a nasty little man. If he were not President or a leading US politician, yes, you could see him in an Irish-American bar somewhere violently assaulting someone or putting some dollars into a collection box for his beloved IRA.
I can’t stand him. He has a real chip on his shoulder about the UK. If Trump hadn’t mishandled Covid he might well have won again. There was a President who seemed to have a genuine liking for our country (no doubt on account of his partial British ancestry), unlike Biden, yet when he visited us, unwashed lefties ranted and raved about it and told him he wasn’t welcome here.

I do not much like Trump or his behaviour, but I feel that most of it is not a manifestation of malice. I feel that Biden is eaten up with real malice. That is before you even get onto his alleged “paedophiliac” and generally “creepy” behaviour, or his very obviously demented mental state.
As a matter of fact, if you compare Biden’s walking and talking now to that which he showed only 3-4 years ago, the deterioration is very obvious, in fact unmistakeable.

I am sorry John, but you got this completely wrong. Trump did not mishandle COVID; the (((Establishment))) decided he had to go, although he was fairly loyal to it, particularly with regards to Israel.
It has been proved, beyond doubt, that Biden’s victory was the result of a colossal fraud with impossible percentages in favour of Biden in traditional Republican districts.
Anyway, is all water under the bridge and, yes, Biden is a repulsive creature. He and his family should have been eliminated a long time ago…
