Saturday quiz
Hard questions this week. I only got 4/10, same as political journalist John Rentoul, and I admit that one of those (no.6) was a shot-in-the-dark guess. Apart from no. 6, I knew the answers to questions 2, 5, and 9 (and came close to getting no. 8 as well, but missed).

Not very polite, but entirely justified. That over-promoted and useless part-Jew sack of whatever has been a poison in British public life for 25 years, and now continues to inject poison via his brainless newspaper scribbling.
No, they did not. Had I been the Iranian decision-maker, I should have used every single missile and drone to attack Israel simultaneously before the Israeli Jews and their tail-wags-dog “ally”, the USA, attacked. I said that on the blog a few times recently. Get the retaliation in first, as the Israelis do. Why wait to be attacked, and have your defensive and offensive capabilities degraded?
If it does, the Israelis will deserve it, though those that suffer are usually not the leadership cadres mostly responsible.
As blogged on many previous occasions, Labour is runnning out of road because its whole (original) purpose has gone. Same is true, mutatis mutandis, of the Conservative Party.
In fact, the “family voting” scandal (coercive control within Muslim families and clans) at Gorton and Denton was far higher than the 12% figure mentioned (which comes from the volunteer monitors allowed access to polling stations).
Add to that 12% a very considerable figure by reason of the same coercion and control affecting postal voting. I expect that about a fifth of votes, 20%, were postal votes, at least a third from Pakistani Muslim voters, so call it 6%, to err, if at all, on the cautious side.
So about 18% of all votes cast might be tainted, and most of those would have been for the Greens. Take away 18% from the 40.6% officially scored by the Greens, and you get about 23%. That would put Hannah Spencer and the Greens below both Reform and Labour, and mean that Matt Goodwin should have been elected…
Of course, non-whites should not be allowed to vote anyway (or stand for election), but we are where we are.
Don’t bother with most American targets; you will not be able to do enough damage to their overall capability. Focus on Israel. Schwerpunkt.
