Saturday quiz
This week, another victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 2/10, but I trumped that with 4/10. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 8, and 10. In the back of my mind, I might have got a few more, but there it is.

Not forgetting that “legal” immigration is about 20x those figures anyway.

This isn’t about protecting society. It’s about silencing dissent and enforcing obedience. If a tweet can cost you your freedom, You don’t live in a democracy — you live under tyranny. https://telegraph.co.uk/gift/0cc779aa15c20c03“]
Of course, Allison Pearson might be listened to more if she ditched her apparent support for the evil and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”), a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy, in effect, and which is the worst anti-free-speech org in the country (see my own experiences, detailed above).
That brought to mind another Lucy— Lucy Letby. I have never claimed that Lucy Letby is either innocent or guilty of the crimes wherewith she was charged. I do not know, and have not much followed the case in any detail.
However, I did say on the blog, after she was convicted, that she seemed (from what little I had read in the msm) to have been found guilty on the basis of rather loose circumstantial evidence (which is not necessarily wrong, if that evidence is or was sufficiently probative).
Now I note that some fairly weighty opinions are saying that Lucy Letby might seriously be not only victim of a miscarriage of justice but actually innocent. I neither agree nor disagree. I have not looked at the matter in anything like enough detail. However, there lurks a feeling that, maybe, she is in prison without having actually done the crime(s).
The underlying reality is that the NHS is now largely a skeleton service, and those always loudly supporting it on ideological grounds, no matter what it does wrong, or fails to do right, are not serving either the NHS or the British public.
Those “public services” are packed with “woke” and Common Purpose drones.
Starmer-stein and Yvette Cooper have no intention of seriously preventing migration-invasion. Au contraire…
The voters of Runcorn and Helsby should remember that at the upcoming by-election.
In any case, there is really very little difference between what Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall etc are doing and what the “Conservative” governments since 2010 did.
Jonathan Ashworth may still bang the tribal “Labour” drum, but the voters kicked him out, of course, in 2024: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ashworth; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_South_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.
Yet another (ex-) MP who has never had a non-political job. A System drone.
So Russia is immune from both tariffs and (U.S.) sanctions…
Ukraine (Kiev regime) must accept that Russia will occupy all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper.
The Jew-Zionist organizations in the UK are supporters of Israeli policy, Israeli terrorism and Israeli war crimes.
For the first time, I can see (as serious likelihood rather than a mere possibility) a socio-political war breaking out in the USA somewhere not far down the line.
Historical note
“She lived 3,500 years ago – but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.
The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homer’s King Agamemnon.
Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: “She’s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.
“For the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy – Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend – and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.”
Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: “It is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman – and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.
“This woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.”
A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.“

…and, surprise surprise, she was not black, not even brown…
Remember the “woke” fakery around “Cheddar Man” a decade ago, and the (later disproven) claim that he was (and so ancient Britons generally were) of “black” race? Or the assertions by Mary Beard and others that some of the Roman soldiers in Britain were “black”?
At least no-one has tried to impose more such ideologically-driven fakery on this new material.
European cultures, and civilization— the product of the white man (and woman).
London. Zoo.

“A man who gouged out an 87-year-old pensioner’s eye and beat him to death with his own walking stick has been locked up indefinitely.
Sekai Miles, 23, subjected Bernard Fowler to a “brutal” random attack outside Harold Wood station in east London early on February 27 last year.
Having targeted his eyes, Miles also hit Mr Fowler over the head 19 times with his walking stick and stamped on his head eight times, the Old Bailey heard on Friday.
Retired mechanic Mr Fowler had gone to the station that day to pick up free newspapers for the community.”
Wall. Squad. End.
Do you imagine that untermenschen of that type can create, or even maintain, a civilized society? No. They cannot even live in one.

Uh-oh…I feel another by-election coming on…
Ha.
Runcorn and Helsby voters— take note.
Good grief. There is much to dislike about China, in particular its disregard for animal welfare, but one cannot ignore its achievements, especially in engineering.
As a result, System parties in Germany want to ban the AfD. Germany is a fake democracy at best.
