Saturday quiz
Difficult questions this week. I scored 4/10, but even that very modest score was enough to trump that of political journalist John Rentoul, who managed only 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, and 7. I came close (in my opinion, anyway) to getting no. 2 as well.
Talking point
Interesting. Well worth an hour of anyone’s time.
I liked the comment from a 90-something ex-soldier who said that, looking at Britain in the 21stC, he wishes that Hitler had successfully invaded in 1940 (in fact, there never was a serious plan to invade the UK: Hitler wanted alliance with the British Empire, not to conquer it. “Operation Sealion” [Fall Seelowe] was never more than a contingency plan and/or a smokescreen with which to lull Stalin into a false sense of security prior to Barbarossa).
I also liked the several comments by old soldiers now wishing that they had fought for Hitler.

Starmer’s priorities are: 1. Whatever Israel and the Jewish lobby want; 2. To eliminate any remaining free speech (and refer to previous priority); 3. To destroy what is left of Britain as a real nation, rather than a geographic space filled with globalized economic entities, including humanoid entities (and refer to no.1 above); 4. The self-interest of “Labour” politicians and hangers-on [e.g., most recently, Ayesha Hazarika].
They should have been kicked into the gutter and stamped on. They are nothing but sub-terrorists, using their age and sex as a shield.
Just Stop Oil is a pathetic excuse for a cause or ideology; worthless.
Those ridiculous old “entitleds”, crowing about their “Christian” faith, will try to destroy a (genuine) “national treasure”, but probably welcome the migration-invasion which will destroy this country and its society long before any “climate change” (however caused).
Typical msm scribbler thinks that “govt” can “solve poverty”. That depends on various other factors. In the case of the UK, you have importation of around a million unwanted immigrants every single year now, a fact which scribbler Paul Lewis ignores. Simply ignores. As if to say “million immigrants a year? Irrelevant. Just build more houses for them” (for these mostly useless parasites). Oh, and give them cash, and medical services, and schools for their offspring (etc).
4 million? Try 12…(and, by 2034, 25M, or more).
I doubt whether scribbler (posing as an economist) Paul Lewis has much real expertise in the economics of a state or a society (about your electricity or gas bill, maybe; I do not know).
Both lots of demonstrators are deluded in their own ways.
I used to go to Brighton Beach (New York) occasionally. Early 1990s. It was a largely Russian-speaking neighbourhood then. There was a large shop selling good bread, and pickled herrings and cucumbers etc.
I usually arrived on the”El” from Manhattan.

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.
Macron is an idiot. France would not survive war (totally pointless and unnecessary war) with Russia. One Sarmat-2 missile might take out, i.e. destroy, about 90% of the whole of France. I value France, where I lived for 3-4 years; I do not want to see that beautiful country destroyed.
Macron is yet another puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/, my assessment of Macron from 5+ years ago.
Worth reading the explanation.
That case is a good example of how some Jewish lawyers abuse the English legal system. See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.
“Mr Justice Nicklin said this in another case: “It is likely that this error occurred because he [Mr Lewis] had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.“
[per James Wilson]
Dishonest and incompetent…
Both Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke are fanatical Jew-Zionists. Lewis even lives, some or most of the time, in Eilat, Israel.
As said, both dishonest and incompetent, in the case of Lewis. As to Daniel Berke, I have no idea of how competent or incompetent he is in the civil law field (I read that he is a criminal solicitor), but on the face of the above, he seems as incompetent as Lewis.
As I opined some time ago, there seems to have been professional negligence on the part of Lewis, and that may now apply to Berke as well.
Incidentally, Berke also opines about “antisemitism” being connected to “mental illness”:
Seems that Berke’s knowledge of both “antisemitism” and mental illness is as sketchy as his knowledge of civil procedure seems to be. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/ [updated consistently], in which I examined the incontrovertible links between Jew-Zionism, Jewish “antifascism”, and mental illness.
Yet anywhere hosting anti-Zionists, whether political (London Forum, Patriotic Alternative, Keep Talking etc), entertainers (Alison Chabloz, Gilad Atzmon), metaphysical speakers (eg David Icke) or whatever, will be “hounded” by packs of Jews such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], “Hope not Hate” (“HnH”] and others.
When will the Daily Mail (etc) cover that story? Never…
Fair enough, but Neil is completely at one with Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby, and the Jewish element has been the driving force behind the attack on freedom of expression throughout the Western world: so-called “race relations” and “anti-hate” laws (designed to shut down socio-political debate), “holocaust” “denial” laws (designed to make aspects of modern history off-limits to both non-Jewish historians and members of the public) etc.
Incidentally, should anyone wish to help defray the costs of my own recent free speech trial, the crowdfunder is still open: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.
Could Andrew Neil be more craven? All his money, yet no real independence, in my opinion.
Like Andrew Neil (pre-2024), I have never watched Eurovision and (unlike Neil) do not intend to change my habit today. I have no interest at all in the Israeli contestant, positive or negative, or in any of the other howling freaks and noisemakers taking part.
I did notice that Denmark’s entry is an African! Not even a beautiful one. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad“…
“The number of foreign mercenaries participating in the conflict on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has decreased by two thirds compared to March 2022 , writes “Business Insider”.
“Half of the mercenaries come from Latin American countries hoping to make money. They are there for money,” said Carl Larson, a former American soldier who fought in Ukraine.
He also admitted that, while he was in Ukraine, he realized that foreign mercenaries would not be able to stop the Russian forces and that they could only delay their advance “perhaps for an hour“.

Thank you very much for the video. Very interesting. I am glad many of those hateful, globalist, international companies left Russia and have been replaced by Russians. Mind you, perhaps in some cases it has been just a cover-up and it is “business as usual” using a Russian figurehead. These evil multimillionaires do not give up easily.

This is interesting. The man looks like a numskull (I am sure he is one). The surname is definitely NOT British, I searched and it is of Russian origin. Could he belong to the tribe of “The Chosen”? His biography says he went to a Catholic private school but that means nothing.
Anyway, what counts are his words and as my “friend” Emil points out he is clearly an enemy. By reading the quotes from his speech you can tell the man is an idiot who talks using silly clichées.
BTW, the moronic scribbler who wrote the article about Radakin, calls him “Sir Tony” (???) Even someone like me, who is not a native English speaker knows that you NEVER refer to a person who has a title using his first name in conjunction with the title.

The title “Sir” *is* used in conjunction with a first name, once the full title and name is used, as in “Sir Ian Millard became the ruler of Britain in 2044, at the age of 88. Sir Ian was elevated by reason of Divine Intervention, without popular vote”…
(in an ideal world!).
Likewise, “Prince” is commonly used in conjunction with a first name, eg “Prince Harry”, but “Lord” is not. Thus “Lord Toad of Toad Hall”, whose first name might be “Boris”, would not usually be referred to as “Lord Boris”.

Thank you, Ian! I am not sure I would like that, I am not a lover of whiskey. Incidentally, my wife mentioned a famous cocktail made by a barman at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore: the “Singapore Sling”. I read the recipe and I think I would enjoy that. Have you tried? If so, did you like it?

I agree. I too am not really a whisky or whiskey (Scotch or Irish) drinker, though I will occasionally drink Irish in cool rainy Irish weather, and I developed a slight taste for Bourbon from my time in the USA.
As for Singapore Sling, that was originally made with gin, and I never drink gin.
I am not generally a cocktail drinker, but some look so tasty that I am, probably, losing out or missing out a bit.

Thank you very much for the information on that subtle, and unbeknown to me, rule that allows the use of the first name once the title and the full name of the person have been mentioned or written.

A funny and ironic detail. The Russian thug seen in the video of Brighton Beach flying the Soviet flag is driving a BMW 4-wheel drive, a very expensive vehicle whose RRP is somewhere between £54.000 and 68.000; so much for his Bolshevik ideals! 😁😁😁

Hello Ian: Out of curiosity, could you tell me the answer to question No.2? Thank you!

Yes. The answer was “Manhattan”

I was unsure, and went for “Old Fashioned”, which is very similar but not identical:

So I did not claim that point, despite the ambiguity of the question.
