Saturday quiz
Well, just managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul this week; he has claimed a score of 7 and a half out of 10, but I trumped that with 8/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1 and 6.

…and only (by my count) 19 Conservative Party MPs. Out of several hundred.
Both main parties of the System are signed up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.
Jewish woman, one Zoe Grunewald, wants the UK (not herself personally, of course; she probably lives in a leafy suburb or other area far from the terrible society that is already developing by reason of migration-invasion) to take millions of “refugees”.
I also disagree with her view that “we” (British people) feel “proud” that “we” accepted Jewish “refugees” in the 1930s. Many of us actually think that that was a catastrophic error.
In principle, there are maybe 800 million people worldwide who, under the present framework, might have a “legitimate” claim to be granted asylum. Add to that the hundreds of millions who might make claim to asylum illegitimately, and you see the point— the UK cannot, could never take a billion or more persons, a number about 15x the present UK population.
It is often said that that would never happen, that the number who might come here is far lower. Perhaps, but then what is that number? 150 million (which would triple the existing UK population)? Even that would completely collapse our present society. Lower yet, say 75 million? That would still double the existing UK population, and would also shatter our society, irrevocably.
At present, about a million migrant-invaders are coming to the UK each year. Most are not “asylum-seekers”, but that is irrelevant; all that matters is the total number.
Matt Goodwin should have made those points, not his poor point about how a couple of foreign girls in the UK put paraglider motifs on their clothing after the October 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas operatives.
Three-dimensional chess?
“Soldiers are furious with Zelenskiy.
“Since the end of the hostilities is not in sight, the Ukrainian army has difficulties in recruiting personnel, and the fighters are increasingly exhausted and dissatisfied due to the lack of rotation” , writes “The Guardian”.
Many soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been at the front for more than two years without the possibility of demobilization.“
At long last, the truth is coming out about the corrupt, brutal and shambolic dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky and his cabal.
Soon, the Kiev regime’s front lines will crumble, and the Russian forces will be able to roll across the eastern part of Ukraine, i.e. the lands east of the Dnieper. Once Kharkov falls, or is bypassed, there will be nothing to stop Russian forces from occupying those huge areas indefinitely.
Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

One side-effect of the continuing Israeli crimes (whether they be officially labelled “war crimes” or not) is that the —in any case, steadily weakening— effect of the Jewish/Israeli “holocaust” propaganda re. the early 1940s is yet further diluted, if you like.
The peoples of the world are already bored to tears by that mainly post-1950s barrage in films, TV series, books, msm references.
People now say or think, in effect, “whatever happened in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, or the Pribaltika, happened 80+ years ago. Soon, it will be a century ago. We are more interested in what is happening now, not what happened or did not happen, or partly happened, 80 or 100 years ago“…
“Sergei LAVROV: The West has started to promote the blatantly false thesis that Putin will not stop in Ukraine and will go further.
Now the rhetoric is: Putin will defeat Ukraine and then attack us.
The West is using the myth of an imaginary Russian threat to intensify the arms race.
The contours of a new European military alliance with a nuclear component are even being formed Regarding Xi Jinping’s initiative on global security: “There are every reason to promote the idea that global security starts with the creation of the foundations of Eurasian security without Euro-Atlantic admixtures… The relations between Russia and China go beyond the classic alliances.”
That “Putin will invade Western Europe” nonsense was being broadcast or printed in the UK/USA (etc) msm right from the start, in 2022.
Meanwhile, in the background, almost obscured by the daily “war” news from Gaza and Lebanon, the enemies of Israel, and the Iranians in particular, are creating more and more powerful and accurate missiles, some of which will eventually carry nuclear warheads. Israel is living on borrowed time.

I am amazed by your results in John Clarke´s Quiz. I could only answer two! (LOL) Just in case I will tell you my answers and you can tell me if they are correct or not:
No. 9 = Entente Cordiale
No. 10 = Fox-trot
Out of curiosity, what are the answers to questions 4 and 7?

You got both of those right. As the Jews say, “kol hakavod” (“well done”).
As to questions 4 and 7, the correct answers were “the heliocentric system” and “the Titanic disaster of 1912”.

Good morning! Thank you very much for your replies. I suspected question No. 7 had something to do with the “Titanic” but I was not prepared to risk an answer.
Incidentally, I remember reading a scholarly article about the poor quality of the “Titanic”´s steel. Of course, that is not the only reason why it sunk, but it surprised me to discover that it was nearly 10 times more brittle than today´s best steel. As the article explains, the “Titanic” was built using the finest steel available at the time but it was brittle and the freezing temperature worsened things.

The effect of thermal inversion on the Titanic sinking is well-explained here:
https://www.foxweather.com/lifestyle/titanic-weather-thermal-inversion-mirage-optical-illusion.
You mention the type of steel used in the construction of the Titanic. Another factor (perhaps the most important), as you probably know, was the fact that the watertight compartments in the hold were not watertight but all connected to each other.
The best film about the disaster is not the “romcom” one of the 1990s but the one starring Kenneth More, made in 1958:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Night_to_Remember_(1958_film)
The youtube version I linked to is in colour, but I think that it was originally black & white.
Incidentally, the 1958 film used 2-3 pieces of film from a German production of 1942:

As to the other question you asked about:

Thank you very much for all the data. Yes, the article which I sent you this morning made it clear that the brittleness of the steel was NOT the main factor. I would say the main cause of the disaster was its faulty, if not incredibly stupid, design which manifested itself in two aspects:
A) The water-tight compartments were not really “water-tight”.
B) The number of boats was insufficient.
As a consequence of this 2/3 of the passengers and the crew perished needlessly. Out of 2.227 people, 1.517 died.
I will never forget the wonderful British film “A Night to Remember”. I watched it as a kid in the 1960s. Yes, it is by far the best film about the disaster of the “Titanic”. The stupid film by John Cameron is a glossy and ultra-expensive soap-opera. I remember a very young David MacCallum playing an important role as a sailor called “Sparks”. It is amazing how our brains retain tiny, irrelevant details such as this one.
