Saturday quiz
Well, a very poor week for me: 2 out of 10, but still good enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored only 1/10. I knew the answers to questions 3 and 4, no others.
From the newspapers
“Integrating migrants into society is ‘impossible’ at current levels Robert Jenrick has warned just days after he suddenly quit as immigration minister.“
[A statement of the obvious, of course].
“Last night he claimed the Tories would face the ‘red-hot fury of voters at the ballot box’ unless further action it taken to bring down the high levels of immigration to the UK.
The former minister went to argue that the Government’s plan to reduce net migration from 745,000 to the 2019 level of 226,000 is a ‘considerable way off.“
[Daily Mail].
[in what world is even 200,000 —net— acceptable?].
“Zelensky’s inner circle are wary of a threat from the influential Zaluzhny, who has claimed the war has reached a stalemate. Sources tell me that they have tried to have the military chief fired, but he was just too popular.”
[Daily Mail]
It is claimed that the Jew Zelensky not only has 2 luxury villas outside Ukraine, one (in Florida) worth USD $40M, but also has bought two superyachts or megayachts in the UAE.
As to “stalemate“, we shall see during the drier weather of summer 2024 whether Russia has the means and the men to make a general advance on Kiev.
Whether that happens or not, Russia cannot lose the war in Ukraine, and will not lose it.

A jamboree of nonsense.
The Covid Inquiry, another jamboree of nonsense. Completely pointless.
London. Zoo.
“A ‘depraved’ man who raped a woman as she slept on the Piccadilly Line in front of a horrified passenger and her 11-year-old son has been jailed for nine years.“
I am, in general, opposed to the death penalty, but the eradication of creatures of this sort (who are not uncommon in London) I should regard not as punishment, but as a public health or social health measure.

Labour Friends of Israel member. Jewish lawyer wife. Half-Jew children being brought up as if full-Jew, with all the religio-cultural festivities (cf. Robert Jenrick etc).
Only very silly people would believe a word Starmer may say.
The bien-pensants of Twitter/X may say that housing, pay, benefits, pensions etc are more important than immigration as a mainstream political issue, but the fact is that mass immigration and migration invasion make those issues —and others— far more pressing. It affects everything.

Note that Ian Birrell wrote speeches for David Cameron-Levita, whereas Portes is a Jew closely connected, at least in the past, with the Labour Party, but both attack Goodwin’s thesis because both are pro-immigration and therefore, perforce, in favour of the flooding of the UK with immigrants. Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
I agree with the last tweet.
