Well, I did much better than political journalist John Rentoul this week— 7/10 as against his claimed “4 and a half out of 10” (not sure how he managed to give himself a half-point for no.7; still, there it is). I did not know the answers to questions 6 and 9; I might have got no. 3 had I thought about it (but did not, because I jumped at Francesca di Rimini which was composed a couple of years earlier).

❗️ Russia poses no threat to the UK: neither in its waters, airspace, nor streets & certainly not to Britain's long-suffering NHS.
We have no need to do so. It is the UK government that needs these fabrications to avoid dealing with the country’s real social & economic problems.… pic.twitter.com/elmTGLwXZo
Right to praise WW2 fighter pilots, wrong to attack the young. My father had enormous sympathy for depression etc and never criticised his children for weaknesses or just being young & silly. He never got the chance to be really silly during a war.https://t.co/PEp4bUYSIs
Unpleasant Jew “restaurant critic” (what a silly job) talks about “our” (i.e. British) “Battle of Britain bravery“. He, of course, has never served in any armed force; neither have any of his family (not in this country, anyway; I suppose that it is possible that he has relatives serving in the Israeli forces).
I was unable to read the full article, by reason of the paywall; why would anyone pay to read that sort of ignorant rubbish?

Roughly what the “cut” in welfare spending looks like: blue before; red after; rising from £74.9bn to £95.7bn instead of £100.7bn https://t.co/zoWtLPfhK8 Table 5.10 memo line: health and disability benefits pic.twitter.com/DbQZ2OdKqc
Rentoul, as usual, supporting pseudo-“moderate”/”centrist” Labour-label. Making out that the spending cuts are not really cuts at all. Tell that to people who will now be deprived of much or all of their income because of this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment (Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves and, of course, Starmer-stein himself).
Others may get more, yes, and more will be spent on keeping alive, sheltered, and fed, useless and hostile migrant-invaders by the million. British people needing help will, in many cases, not get that help, or much of it.

This tribunal ruling in favour of Peter Wilkins reveals just how aggressively gender-critical scientists are silenced. His experience at Porton Down—branded a "security risk" for believing in biology—is shocking but increasingly familiar. Time to restore reason to science. pic.twitter.com/j8TA4qx42J
You would think Porton Down, a govt. facility specialising in biological weapons research, would understand sex. But no. Peter Wilkins, a "scientist forced out over gender beliefs wins legal battle". https://t.co/GhZeF05JHfpic.twitter.com/uPUbbLASkD

Let me give an example. Mark Lewis ticked the box to say his client had complied with the pre-action protocol. Here is his email after he was instructed where he basically refuses to comply with the pre-action protocol.
Another scandal that govts of all colours have lacked courage to tackle. Council tax is outdated, regressive, and grossly unfair to those living in poorer regions and in cheaper properties.
There it is. Disgraced sex-pest Jew ex-MP praises a woman, Jewish again, who wants Russia and Russia people beaten and humiliated. One would imagine that Newmark would shut up and keep his head down, but that is not “their” way…
Incidentally, quite a few years ago, that tweeter was some kind of office manager for her then husband, a “Conservative” MP, her no-doubt generous salary paid for out of his MP expenses. Well, they are now no longer married, and he is no longer an MP. She appears to have set up some “organization” (possibly consisting only of herself) called “the Moderates”, which seems to lie politically between the LibDems and the David Cameron-Levita Conservative Party “compassionate Conservatism” scam of 2010-2015.
A pretty good graphic, though designed for American conditions of society rather than British/European.
Philip Green
The Jew business predator, Philip Green, was discussed on BBC Radio 4 Today. Lord Myners [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Myners,_Baron_Myners] said that Green is “what in the 1970s we called an asset-stripper“, who has never built up or created a brand, but, “highly-geared” (i.e. swimming in debt), bought businesses and then “ran them into the ground.”
Any decent country would hold Green upside down and shake him until all the gold fell out of his pockets. His catspaw, Chappell, is sitting in prison for a few years now [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_Chappell] but Green himself has, it seems, still hundreds if not thousands of millions of pounds (largely in the name of his wife), and several megayachts based in Monaco.
It may be (and Lord Myners mentioned the problem, though diplomatically) that Green may have, in effect, defrauded the pensioners who worked in the Arcadia Group companies, just as the Jew [called] “Robert Maxwell” did in respect of Daily Mirror pensioners. Maxwell, of course, has long ago gone up the chimney, and his daughter, the one-time chief “ho” of the Jew paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is in prison in New York and awaiting trial.
When will people wake up to the fact that in —at least— (((one))) way, “Hitler was right”?…
Speaking of (((predators))), remember Brooks Newmark [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Newmark], the American Jew (Jew by birth, and so genetics, but now a Roman Catholic in terms of religious affiliation), who had to resign as MP after having been involved in sex scandals? Well, this is how he is now profiteering out of “the virus” and the NHS:
Exc: Brooks Newmark is back. The disgraced former MP has established himself as a middle man for companies trying to land lucrative PPE contracts
It’s a shambles. Govt tell us what we have to do but not how to do it. How the IT systems that will make it work has only been shared with a small number of operators. Most of us don’t know and that’s an absolute crisis with only 30 days to go. @RHARodMcKenzie @SkyNewspic.twitter.com/qtDXzvDUaR
I have favoured Leave or Brexit for at least 10 years, but realized years ago, at the time of and after the 2016 referendum, that not only was it being sabotaged in various ways, but simultaneously mismanaged by a number of incompetent “Conservative” ministers, among them several members of the present Cabinet of clowns.
It seems that the UK will (in reality) leave the EU soon. Plans seem not very advanced as to what will then happen and how to deal with it all.
The “virus”, or rather the measures employed in reaction to it, will add to any Brexit chaos. Whether there will be interruption of supply of food and/or medicines, is apparently up in the air.
It seems that about 70,000 people are being infected with “the virus” daily in the UK, and about 1 person out of every 350 (known to be) infected is dying of or with it. Bearing in mind that only a fraction of actually infected people are known to be so infected, the real figure may be as low as one death per several thousand infectees.
Britain must open up again, get rid of all the interfering measures in place for months, and breathe free again. In particular, the facemask nonsense must be chucked in the bin.
As said on previous occasions, if the Scottish people want to separate from England and Wales (and Northern Ireland), well, fine.
It does, I admit, seem to me a strange idea of both “nationalism” and “independence” to remain under the wing (or thumb, or heel) of the EU, the international banks, NATO (probably), not to mention the Jewish-Zionist lobby (which plainly has its claws into Sturgeon and the SNP). Also, “nationalism” that encourages migration-invasion? The SNP minister now cracking down on free speech is a Pakistani. How does that work? Oh…I see. Said Pakistani has a Scottish accent, so he is more Scottish than am I, despite my Franco-Scottish surname and likely part-Scottish ancestry. Or so believes the SNP.
Of course, any departure from the Union would be the end for the Labour Party at Westminster. True, Labour only has 1 MP in a Scottish seat anyway, but if the SNP departs from Westminster, along with its 47 MPs, that leaves the Conservative Party all but unassailable at Westminster on present showing.
Scottish independence would remove any chance for Labour to form even a minority government at Westminster. The 47 SNP MPs,1 Scottish Labour MP and 4 Scottish LibDems, 52 in all, would not be available to form a coalition. Labour, on present showing, would be left with 225 Labour and Labour Co-op MPs, whereas the Conservatives would still have 358 MPs.
Even taking into account all the other non-Conservative Party MPs, that would still leave the Cons with a majority of something like 118, i.e. 38 more than at present. An even more firmly-embedded “elected dictatorship”.
The arithmetic is stark. The Labour Party could not even pretend to be a potential party of government.
On the above premises, Scottish “Independence” might not be completely unattractive to some of the Conservative Party…
As Hitler said of the Weimar Republic Germans, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“…

Monday morning medical facts:#Vaccine safety trials normally take 10 years, or 3 years for a rushed release. The covid jab trials – involving totally new vaccine dna technology – will have lasted 8 months at most. The wonder drug thalidomide had no side effects at 8 months.
It is shocking to find just how little peaceful, lawful power we have in this supposedly free country. But we do have some, so it's our duty to use it. If we don't, and others use lawless methods, it will be partly our fault. Writing to your MP may sound feeble. But it is vital.

This is a doomed campaign by Hitchens. The idea that MPs will be frightened by the possible —but in most cases unlikely— loss of a Westminster seat one, two, three or four years down the line from now, is ridiculous. Some things can frighten MPs, but this is not one of them.
If you support the rule of law, then you must obey it. Eerything I have doen and said has been aimed at strengthening lawful dissent and protest. A descent into lawlessness would be unlikely to empower civilised, tolerant people. https://t.co/vHIyrRoDDE
The flaw there is the conflation of “law” (or “laws”) with “the rule of law”. We are in a situation where (and it has happened gradually, over 10+ years) the UK Government has become less and less a government under law, and more and more just a regime laying down laws…

This latest stupid sub-legal “rule” (“no drinkee without more eatee than a snackee”) is even more stupid than most of this nonsense. What “science” dictated it? None. Look at the news today! No.10 asked to pronounce on whether a pasty is OK, or a Scotch Egg!
Govt 'analysis' says it's 'not possible' to spell out detailed economic impact of Covid tiers. But Boris Johnson vetoed Tier 3 for London last week after being told it would cost 500,000 jobs. Where's that analysis for the rest of the country?
Anyone actually believing that mandating masks on everyone everywhere always could not possibly have down sides was a Covid zombie.
