Saturday quiz
Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul: Rentoul scored 6/10, whereas I managed 8/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1 and 5.

Greta Nut is another complete fake, as well as being completely idiotic.
Well, it’s just a phrase and, after all, Nick Robinson is a half-Jew himself. I am not a meat-eater, but recognize that some people want it, just as a cat needs meat.
Naive tweeter “@clairebubblepop” thinks that scammer “Jack Monroe”, trade unionist Mick Lynch, wealthy TV face Carol Vorderman, and even multimillionaire Jewish “MoneySavingExpert” Martin Lewis, are all “fighting for change“. Frankly, I doubt it. Not in any really substantial way. Some may want some changes in society, but not in any truly radical way, in my opinion.
(((Termite))).
Very much in evidence during the “panicdemic”. Society split pretty much in half, and that split, though now half-forgotten, is still there, and will always now be there.
“Loony tunes”
Two brief experiences of the low-level craziness brought into being, or encouraged, by the virtue-signalling society in which we now exist:
- Yesterday, on TV news, I think BBC, a story about the energy crisis in the UK. The reporter went into a cold, dark, unlit, unheated house to talk to a weird-looking middleaged woman sitting wrapped head to toes in a blanket. My first thought was “virtue-signalling loony” and (quelle surprise), what did the blanket-wrapped loon say, when asked about retail costs of heating and lighting? “I’m not worried about the money…it’s not about the money“… in other words, the crazed bitch was making a screwed-up point about “Ukraine”, and Russia, and “eco”-something-or-other.
In other words, that woman was not being forced into sitting in the cold and dark, but was doing it because she wanted to both feel “virtuous” and also to be seen on the BBC doing it. What a crazie! A form of contemporary self-flagellation, like “refugees welcome” idiocy (which she probably also supports).
2. This morning, I was just buying a few lottery tickets somewhere when a very fat young woman wearing a cloth facemask came up to the cash till and paid for a takeaway coffee.
Did she not get the memo? Facemasks are so 2021. She reminded me of the cartoon below, featuring an older version:
Admittedly, the silly creature did not say anything to the shop people, or to me, but I would bet, 100%, that she was just the type that used to behave like that during the “panicdemic” of 2020-2021.

Send them back to Afghanistan, or at least to Pakistan (with a £20 a week stipend, if necessary to buy off criticism).

Simplistic. Not entirely wrong, but not quite right either.
“Extreme Jewish jungle cult”

“A former member of an extreme Jewish jungle cult that has been accused of child sex abuse has spoken of its warped teachings – including plans for mass slaughter should outside authorities intervene.”

“Putin is buzzed by UFOs”
Some as yet unknown American secret weapon, or creatures from another planet?
