Well, this week 5/10, same as political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. In the back of my mind, I think I might have scored on question 1, too, but did not.
I have written about Cuba previously (use search box if interested), but this report by a (formerly?) pro-Cuba and maybe pro-Castro Scotsman who has lived there for years is well worth reading.
Of course, it is almost trite to say that Cuba is on the point of collapse, because that has been said for the past 35 years, but it now seems inevitable, either from implosion or via American intervention.

Very sad that Palmerston, the Foreign Office cat who’d been enjoying his retirement in Bermuda at the Governor’s mansion, has died at the age of 12.
Such an amazing cat, full of purrsonality and he brought so much joy to so many people. He was such fun to write about in my book. pic.twitter.com/AaLzgdWRpy

[“Everyone was lied to about Hitler. Our education system pushing it all for many decades has done so with Jewish history books and lies about the war. Nationalism Socialism isn’t “far right”. It’s the third position which is very centrist in a political sense. Yes, Hitler went a bit full throttle towards the end, but his initial ideology of the NSDAP is what we need to fix Britain and Europe.“]
Labour Party activists including @LucyMPowell have been referred to police over by-election gala dinner and attempts to “bribe voters”
Meanwhile, Starmer-stein is again, as he fondly imagines, on the world stage. He wants British and EU taxpayers to stump up even more money for “defence” (anti-Russia build-up) and “Ukraine” (the sliding Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev).
Meanwhile the migration-invasion of the UK continues unabated…
Don’t let Mad Zack hypnotise you into legalised drugs and open border chaos
Jews talking about killing all Palestinian Arabs in Gaza (etc) and then settling the cleared areas with Jew settlers or colonizers. A fully-Jewish “final solution”…
Genocide and then settlement by Jews, in plain language. Jew lawyers in the UK, USA etc may argue, in their Talmudic way, about whether Jews have or have not engaged in “genocide” in Gaza, but just look at the place now! Does it matter what label Jews or others place on what has been done?
Actually, from the Israeli point of view, the “crime” of the Palestinian Arab operatives on 7 October 2023 was not the killing of hundreds of Jewish revellers and military personnel (many of which were actually killed by Israeli forces, implementing free-fire protocols, anyway), but to have successfully invaded “Israeli” territory. That pierced the Israeli feeling of invulnerability.
I admit that I myself was taken by surprise; I would previously have doubted that the Arabs could pull off an operation like that (and keep the plans secret).
In fact, I think that Netanyahu and his cabal may have known of the 2023 attack on Israel in advance, and let it go ahead (in the manner of Roosevelt and Pearl Harbor), because it provided a good excuse to ethnically cleanse Gaza (just as Pearl Harbor provided the excuse to get the USA into war with Germany, via its Japanese ally).

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemns the neoliberal delusion of the "End of History" and its prophet Francis Fukuyama, which emerged after the Western victory over communism following the end of the Cold War:
I heavily criticized that “End of History” nonsense in my unpublished book The End of the Millennium and the New Age of Alexander (written in the United States in 1990-1991). Nice to have been proven right (again).
Europe warns about peace: "after an agreement, Russia will become more dangerous"
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has effectively indicated that a quick end to the war in Ukraine would not be favorable for Europe.
The European Parliament approved a new loan package from the European Commission for Ukraine amounting to 90 billion euros
Official statements emphasize that "Ukraine's fight is Europe's fight," which in practice means that the financial burden is shifted to European taxpayers.… pic.twitter.com/pBvdl2oMWF
Ha ha! “…once war reparations are received from Russia“…That will be never, then. “Reparations” are paid by the losing side in a war. Russia is quite obviously winning (though slowly) the war against the Kiev regime. The EU “leaders” are living in a world of wilful delusion.
The British and EU taxpayers are going to be losing out. Money desperately needed here is going to be sent “over there”…

There *was* a *secret* sweetheart deal, as my colleague @RaniaKhalek explained 11 years ago. He served only a year of his 18-month prison sentence in the private wing of a Palm Beach Jail and was permitted to leave the prison grounds for up to sixteen hours a day.

[Roman Bozhkov, Bridge . Reminds me of the wooden, narrow, and very dilapidated bridge —but without any handrail!— which I used in early 1982 to get from the shore of a lake on the border of West and East Germany to a tiny island, where there was a birdwatchers’ hut (no glass in the window, and a leaky roof), and in which I had to sleep one night]
Only 5/10 this week, though that still trumps political journalist John Rentoul, who awards himself 3.5/10. I knew the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7.
“Bad news for Britain: Scientists rank how 173 countries around the world function – and the UK isn’t even in the top 10!”

Interesting. At least the worst 37, if not more, are all states with mainly, indeed almost entirely, non-white populations. Apart from Singapore, the top 20 supposedly best states are all white northern European, ethnically. In fact, even Singapore has a strong European element, both in terms of population (if expat workers are included) and, of course, history.
“A furious mother took the fight against crime into her own hands and confronted ‘scumbag’ thieves this week, taking back a bike they had allegedly stolen after claiming that police officers ‘didn’t want to help.’
It comes as police forces are blasted for increasingly failing to tackle the crime that matters to ordinary people: petty thefts, mobile phone snatches and break-ins.
The emergency services are facing extraordinary pressures, and are taking as long as 18 hours to respond to 999 callouts such as burglaries and domestic incidents, data has shown.
The time taken to respond to ‘Grade Two’ incidents, in which there is no threat to life but the call is a ‘priority’ situation rose to four hours and 20 minutes on average in 2021, up from three hours just two years previously.
Britain’s police were warned to get back to basics earlier this month after a damning report found that public confidence in the service is ‘hanging by a thread’ due to their failures to tackle crime.
His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary Andy Cooke urged officers to stay out of political matters and stop intervening in Twitter spats, and instead focus on deterring and solving crime and disorder.“

Ah, so the worst performing force was Gloucestershire, the very same police force I now know to have been responsible for my having had to attend a “voluntary” (so-called) interview in Hampshire in 2021: see “Diary Blog, 15 January 2022“, above. Any policeman (whether from Gloucestershire or Hampshire) should have seen, before I said a word, that there was no shred of evidence against me. Still, when a Hampshire policeman spells “Gloucestershire” as “gloustishire“, in an official report, what can one expect?
I note also that the second-worst is apparently Derbyshire Police, the force which put out so much time and effort and “resources” (e.g. 3 policemen delivering one summons) in the persecution/prosecution of satirical singer Alison Chabloz.
Is there a lesson in there for the police of Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, and Hampshire?
Police! Do what H.M. Chief Inspector of Constabulary says— stop “monitoring” (snooping) on Twitter and socio-political blogs such as mine, and get back to where you once belonged, deterring and investigating (real) crime.
“I locked up some of Britain’s most dangerous crooks – but desktop cops and woke policing are making our streets a haven for gangs.”
“DS Speight said: ‘Most of the criminals don’t realise the police levels are low. They don’t realise that all the coppers will be on the Pride march.‘
The former detective said there is a lessening focus on real police work, while woke issues, including accusing Twitter users of hate crimes, takes more and more manpower.”
[Daily Mail].
Such articles never mention, though, the “lawfare” carried on by malicious Jewish orgs such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” and others, which waste police time and resources, as well as destroying freedom of expression, and corrupting policing itself.

And here’s Kay Burley my friends. A nasty shameless trash
Trash “journalist” Kay Burley thinks it normal and even funny that politically-motivated persons within the banking industry can deprive a British citizen of essential banking services. She herself has evidently not considered why it is that people who are political dissidents are now being deprived of such services. Farage is far from being the only one.
Another manifestation of Britain’s gradual decline into a kind of fake “communitarian” police state, an unusual one where real crime is allowed to run unchecked, but political “crime” (e.g. noting Jewish behaviour online) is penalized.
Kay burley is worse than the politicians. She is the biggest hypocrite in tv. She sold her soul to the devil year's ago.
Become lol? Kay Burley has always been a mouthpiece for which ever special interests pay the bills at her network. As long as she gets paid she doesnt care what narrative she has to push lol.
Eventually, when enough people have had enough done to them because of their standing up for European culture and civilization, the time will come when the pendulum swings back— and God help the treacherous politicians, bankers, and “journalist” drones (among others) then.

It is a cause for sorrow, and also frustration and anger, that so many “useful idiots” in the UK cannot see, will not see, the catastrophe that is coming down the tracks because of this. They also fail to see what will happen to them, whichever side wins in the end.

The United States has spent billions of dollars to stoke the flames of war in Ukraine. Congress has rarely challenged the funding of a protracted, bipartisan war. The poor performance of Ukraine is a bad sign for the Biden administration. Since the beginning of the war, Biden has…
Biden will not be sufficiently healthy or compos mentis to be U.S. President after the 2024 election. If he is the Democratic Party candidate in 2024, he will be beaten for sure, no matter who opposes him. Any successful Republican Party candidate, whether Trump or another, will surely take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. However, even a Democratic Party victor will probably do the same.
Sad that so many of our treasured institutions have been taken over by enemies of the British people. RNLI, National Trust, Oxfam (decades ago) etc.
I now read that the person who is the CEO of the RNLI gets £181,000 a year. In itself arguably OK, but people pay their donated pennies for real rescue work, not so that migrant-invader parasites can get a taxi service to the UK; also, most of the volunteers are not paid much and, sitting atop the chaos, a layer of “woke” swine are both spreading propaganda and facilitating migration-invasion, while receiving large unmerited salaries. Nein danke.
Late thoughts about the situation in France
I watched a few minutes of Sky TV coverage. The reporter persisted in calling the (mainly non-white) rioters “protesters“, which became actually ludicrous when she pointed out a sporting goods shop that had been looted of its weapons and ammunition, and said that the situation was now more difficult for the authorities because “the protesters” were now well-armed!
Then there is the usual msm propaganda covering up the fact that the rioters are overwhelmingly non-white. That happened over a decade ago in the UK, too, during the “shopping riots” sparked off by the death of yet another useless non-white criminal, that time in London.
What would I do, had I state power in France?
First, I should order the French police and Army to open fire on the rioters. Then again. Then again, repeated until the streets are cleared and all opposition crushed.
Secondly, I should put in place a programme to deport the unwanted inhabitants of the urban banlieues to French Guiana, the French part of South America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana.
