Well, this week 5/10, thus again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a poor 1/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, 8, and 10.

They tried to run the '25 million' dead jew number before doing the math. There weren't 25 mil on the entire planet. Had to move that number down to six.
The msm scribblers and talking heads are beside themselves with excitement at the prospect of a new clown (arguably marginally better than the others) becoming Labour leader and so Prime Minister. What a sick country this now is.
Incidentally, Burnham is every bit as much in the Jewish-lobby pocket as all the others.
Time for all of your faces to be captured by facial recognition which comes directly from a company based in Tel Aviv.
Incidentally, I saw a news report about the current Sunday Times “Rich List” (the richest UK residents). 6 out of the top ten are Jews (either individuals or families), 1 is an Indian family, 1 is of uncertain provenance (I think part-Russian, part-Jew), 1 family is of British-Irish-Canadian origin and 1 is unequivocally British (English).
The richest family has 38 BILLION pounds of assets. This is ridiculous, and would be even were they English/British.
I think he knows Makerfield is a push. Burnham loses and Starmer will claim he needs to stay to fight the ‘far right’.

Of course @Keir_Starmer would have wanted the NEC to block @AndyBurnhamGM again. But the reality is he doesn’t have any authority left. None whatsoever. It’s game over now. So no matter the result of the by-election we will have a new leader by the summer recess. https://t.co/5KVyQbplTT
Even were Burnham to win the Makerfield by-election, what would that signify? Only that certain parts of the North of England might still vote Labour, were Labour to have a different leader. That might well not be a gamechanger on the national level. It might mean, though, that Labour retains 100+, maybe 150, MPs next time, instead of 50.
‘People are frustrated and want their voices to be heard.’
GB News Reporter Dougie Beattie talks to the Pink Ladies who are attending the Unite the Kingdom rally in London, calling for an end to violence against women.
A very large demonstration, unlike the contrived “anti-anti-semitism” gathering last week, which was organized by the malicious Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” org; that was only about 500-strong, yet System “muppets” such as Kemi Badenoch and Ed Davey attended, as well as fake “free speech” poseur Toby Young..
Huge disconnect between the thousands of Brits who will travel to London today to show their disgust for the system and a twisted group who will exploit that patriotism to corral and contain them in a multicultural dead end.

Let's be clear: the Josh Simons – Burnham stitch-up is a way for the Zionist movement to fully 'own' Burnham and his premiership. pic.twitter.com/11MhIIY5vw
There is certainly something odd about this situation. Are we expected to believe that Josh Simons, a half-Jew, voluntarily relinquished his Commons seat in some kind of quasi-altruistic manner, thus also relinquishing his scarcely-begun political career? He was only elected in 2024 and is a mere 32 years of age.
I can only presume that Burnham has promised Simons a peerage if and when he, Burnham, is anointed as Prime Minister. A promise which may or may not ever be collected on.
Hundreds of Chinese fishing vessels park just outside Peru's maritime border, turn off their tracking systems, and then cross into Peruvian waters at night to engage in illegal fishing, primarily of Humboldt squid
— Sprinter Press Agency (@SprinterPress) May 16, 2026
[“Hundreds of Chinese fishing vessels park just outside Peru’s maritime border, turn off their tracking systems, and then cross into Peruvian waters at night to engage in illegal fishing, primarily of Humboldt squid
In 2024, more than 525 Chinese vessels were registered operating near Peru’s EEZ.
Local fishermen report massive depletion of stocks and losses amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. However, in the event of being caught, the fine can be as low as just 65 US dollars.“]
Lack of respect for the environment, including animals, is one of the worst aspects of the Chinese in the modern era.
Absolutely disgusting.
Wasn’t even that long ago your account could get nuked for just pointing this out. https://t.co/matpDlE3ey
“A Mail audit of big companies found many are not planning for the majority of workers to return to offices until at least towards the end of the year.
Add to that the ludicrous facemask imposition and you can probably say goodbye to the “High Street”: shops, naturally, and many nearby businesses, such as restaurants and pubs. City centre hotels too, quite likely.
“Went into the city yesterday for a nice pub lunch. Caught the ‘rush hour’ train which is now 3 carriages smaller. Normally by the next stop it is standing room only but by destination the train was approx 2 thirds empty. At the rural stops mask wearing obedience was about 50/50. The city suburbs sheep all obeyed. At the pub the doorman turned the virus away and we could enjoy a socially close and mask free meal.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/reader-comments/p/comment/link/574757949
Work hours
“According to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) data, people in Germany actually have the shortest working hours compared with all OECD member countries. However, it also has one of the highest productivity levels and employees are 27% more productive than UK staff that work more hours per year.” [news report]
Worth thinking about. Long hours and high productivity are two different things.
Musical interlude
Tommy Robinson
News today that the political activist known as Tommy Robinson has decided to relocate to Spain. The reasons seem unclear, though Twitter is suggesting that his home and family were targeted in an arson attack.
I would have thought that the answer to a security problem would have been to increase security, at the same time seeking out those likely to be a threat, rather than running away to Spain. Still, there it is.
I have blogged in the past about Robinson, both in terms of free speech online and in terms of the attacks on his family, including the one he said was orchestrated by “antifa” cheerleaders such as Mike Stuchbery, who himself fled the UK and now lives in Stuttgart, Germany.
Ideologically, I do not have much in common with Robinson except in that he opposes migration-invasion, as do I. Robinson, like the “alt-Right” wastes of space (“Prison Planet” Watson, “Sargon of Akkad” etc) and Katie Hopkins, frequently professes his love for Israel and Jews. That means, in the language of Dragon’s Den, “I’m out”.

Nick Ferrari had this message for companies who are keeping their employees working from home all year: "This country is broke and we have to get it moving again. That's not going to happen with you in your jim-jams, not doing anything all day."@NickFerrariLBC | #WFHpic.twitter.com/PsiurW3Iqu
Nick Ferrari has a point, in general, but failed to address (at least in the clip) the fact that the Government of Boris-idiot has needlessly scared the population out of its skin, and has continued to do so, most recently by mandating these ludicrous facemask muzzles, making people wear them in supermarkets etc. That is one reason why people prefer to “work” from home.
Some people, in some industries, will be as productive at home as they are in “the office”, but most are not. One can see, though, why many prefer to work from home, especially if they live in pleasant detached houses in leafy suburbs, or in the country. No commute, no travel at all probably, no expense thereof. Wear what you want. Swim in your pool, if any. Watch old films. Keep nuisances, such as anyone above you in the office hierarchy, out of your hair and at a distance.
The facemask nonsense, even though it is not mandated at work in offices etc, does apply on public transport. Another disincentive to resume “normal” activity.
The fact is that this incompetent bunch of clowns under Boris-idiot has collapsed the economy both by mandating “lockdown” (shutdown) and by now trying to make people wear facemasks almost everywhere. Ludicrous. Toytown police state nonsense.
This is an outdated, old-fashioned, simplistic & factually wrong dinosaur view of economics. In other words, irrelevant.
I worked from home for ten years, not in my “jim jams”. I worked long hours, and was more productive than I had been travelling for two hours per day, waiting in queues, polluting the environment, standing in packed trains. I have rarely heard a more stupid comment.

To my mind, it is clear that though Nick Ferrari is very out of date in his thinking, he does have a point about some people who are currently working from home. At the same time, it is clear that the economy around the office world of London and elsewhere —the offline retail sector based in “High Street” shops, among others— is probably not going to recover.
Of course, not every type of work can be done on a computer at home. Indeed, the most useful work cannot be so done at the present time: power plants, sewage and water works, most healthcare, road repairs, manufacturing, agriculture and horticulture. It may be different in a near-future world of robots and AI, but not just yet.
It is very typical of Twitter that the Twitterati imagine that almost everyone can work from home (they also favour mass immigration, and love facemasks, and the EU…etc).
The big political, as well as economic, hit out of this virus scare will come somewhere down the line, in 2021 and maybe 2022.
13 out of 20 #AntifaTerrorists arrested in Portland are 'teechers'. So are the majority of the Trotskyite SWP. Sorry to be a bit blunt, but if you don't grasp the need for home-schooling now, you are an even bigger problem than they are! pic.twitter.com/waLHkzkiaY

They seldom do. Major events pass most people by all the time @DroneElectrionc. It can be really dispiriting to understand what is going on, and be unable to communicate it to others. https://t.co/yRZy8VhOVW
Indeed. You can add to the comments of Peter Hitchens and one Joanne Dean, above, that such non-laws are obeyed by the British people precisely because most British people are unthinking rabbits. Last week, it was OK and normal to shop without a facemask muzzle, and safe to do so. This week, it is in fact still safe to do so, but because a totally incompetent government has decreed that facemasks must be worn, all the rabbits are wearing one, and noting who is not wearing one.
It is 'Mr Hitchens' to you @bullkaka1, and I have many times replied, to keep up the levels of alarm, and to accustom people to being told what do do, so that they accede willingly to the next absurd demand. https://t.co/dZ12l010kS
Cheap smear. The blackout was a rational and effective response to night-time air raids.Rationing was a rational response to food shortages.

“Lord Jonathan, who is also a medieval historian, praised Sweden’s approach to the pandemic, after the nation bucked the global trend and opted against a lockdown.”
“Official figures show Sweden has suffered 564.4 coronavirus deaths for every million people. In comparison, the rate in the UK is 674.06.“
“‘Their hospitals were never overwhelmed. They never closed their schools. The predicted damage to their economy is about half of ours.’“
“Writing that ‘we cannot keep running away’, he added: ‘Our ancestors lived with far worse epidemic diseases without rushing to put their heads in a bag.”
“Lord Sumption added the report noted aggressive isolation policies ‘merely push all transmission to the period after they are lifted’. “
“This has been seen in countries which have recently lifted lockdowns, with a spike in cases seen in nations such as Spain, Germany, Japan and Hong Kong.”
“He added that intensive care units seemed to catch up with capacity within a month so the Government’s decision to lift lockdown in June was ‘six to eight weeks after it had lost any justification even by its own logic‘.”
When I read a headline, “brawl in City of London rooftop bar”, I thought I was about to read about barrow-boy traders drunkenly shoving each other about. That would have been bad enough, but I was astonished to see the photographs: bad blacks breaking bones.
With #TommyRobinson being forced out of the UK by leftist violence & lawfare attacks on his financial assets, here's a reminder that I called out the dark forces running the show a decade ago.#zionistshillpic.twitter.com/tttp9xL9RI
