Saturday quiz
Well, 8/10 this week, well-beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 1 and 9 (though I did see that Danish TV series, some years ago). I more or less guessed the answers to questions 3 and 5 (from the back of my head, somewhere…).

Look what has already happened in France, and in respect of Romania and vis-a-vis Hungary. The EU, as it now is, is a barely-disguised dictatorship, a dictatorial supra-national regime.
[“Israeli Air Force launches series of strikes on Damascus (video) and several regions of Syria At the same time, Turkish Air Force fighters entered Syrian airspace and began jamming GPS and sending warning signals to Israeli aircraft. Despite this, a new Israeli Air Force squadron is currently heading to Syria. Syrian air defenses are unsuccessfully striking Israeli aircraft, whether Turkish F-16s will attempt to shoot down Israeli F-16s and F-35s will be shown in the next half hour, meanwhile Turkey is now jamming Damascus radars and GPS. Israeli fighters approaching Damascus are preparing for the fifth wave of airstrikes on the Syrian capital in the last hour and a half. UPD. The number of Israeli airstrikes on Syria in the period from December 9, 2024 to May 2, 2025 inclusive reached 167.2″]

[“When the Scharnhorst was sunk off the North Cape on 26 December 1943, the British commander issued the following statement: ‘”Gentlemen, the battle against the Scharnhorst has ended in victory for us. I hope that any of you who are ever called upon to lead a ship into action against an opponent many times superior, will command your ship as gallantly as the Scharnhorst was commanded today.“‘]
Walls. Squads. End(s).

England awake too!
For once, I agree with Piers Morgan. I saw a few minutes of that interview. “The Harry formerly known as Prince” is just a ridiculous weasel. Many hold him in contempt, but few if any want to kill him or even assault him. In other words, he is in no significant peril should he wish to visit the UK, with or without Meghan Mulatta and/or their offspring.
The fact is that, without the accident or incident of his birth, Harry would be totally insignificant and would live in utter obscurity. He has nothing of interest to say, nothing at all.
As a matter of fact, he and the Mulatta are said to have hundreds of millions of dollars, so if he wants to employ a bodyguard (or a whole team) when in the UK, he and the Mulatta have the means to do so.
I noticed, for the first time, how very close together are Harry’s eyes; looks like some kind of genetic defect. Very strange. There is evidently something not quite right about Harry, mentally, but I have no view as to whether that has been caused, or triggered, by his marriage to, and apparent subservience to, the Mulatta. Perhaps he was always like that under the surface. The few times I saw him on TV, when he was a young officer or ex-officer, he always looked to be in good spirits, superficially.
His military service seems to have consisted of about 8 years in uniform as a junior officer, including a total of about 6 months deployed in Afghanistan, flying helicopters. He saw action a few times, apparently (that is to say, killing opponents on the ground from his attack helicopter…).
Thinking idly about it, it seems to me that Harry chose the right title for his book of memoirs— Spare. He now has no real function or role in the world. His situation reminds me of that of Vronsky in Anna Karenina, when Vronsky and Anna are in self-chosen exile in Italy, after having left Russia. Homesickness. Frustration. Relationship problems.
Incidentally, it infuriates me (though certainly not enough to want to kill or injure him, or even to —much— criticize him!) that Harry whines constantly about his life, his expenses, his little upsets, and the death of his mother (when he was 12), which last must have been very upsetting but which, after all, took place in 1997, 28 years ago! The man is now 40 years of age!
What I mean is that so many people in this world, indeed in the UK, are poor, suffering in various ways, wishing for a better life and/or a better society, and all this featherbedded nonentity can think about is his own comfort, security etc, and his unmerited wealth.
Never a word about the struggles and problems facing the British people.
In fact, in some ways I have more time for the Mulatta. At least she knows what real life is, having had to struggle, make a living for herself etc. Harry probably finds it a challenge to brush his own teeth.
I just have no time for him.

Lucy Powell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Powell]— just another System drone who has never had a non-political (System-political) job.
Well, it has taken several years, but at last my prediction of terminal decline for the main System parties is coming to pass, and evidently so.
Late thoughts on the recent by-election and local elections
One thing that struck me, looking at the pro-Labour or anti-Reform Twitterati, is how readily they describe, contemptuously, those who recently voted Reform as being “thick as mince“, “thick gammon racists” (the irony…), or “thick c**ts“, while often posting cartoons or AI-produced pictures of supposed Reform voters (shown as tattooed skinheads drinking cheap canned beer while draped in Union Jack flags, or wearing football-club clothing).
You would imagine that the opposite would be seen as more true, i.e. that repeatedly voting for the same System parties that have been driving the UK into the ground for decades (and especially since about 1989) might be seen as unintelligent or, in a word, stupid.
In fact, it is clear —as said often over the years on the blog— that many self-describing “Left” partisans have no real ideology left, only the wish to censor and attack even mildly nationalist people.
All those pseudo-socialists have left is that wish to “deplatform” others. They have no real ideology or principle left, and their preferred System party, Labour, is quite plainly just one face of a Janus-faced “uniparty”. Where is the real or significant difference between Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel “Labour” and the “Conservative” Friends of Israel governments of 2010-2024?
Such people seem to think that the voters in places such as Runcorn should be grateful to have a Labour-label government, whatever its policies, and whatever its actions and defects.
People did not, most of them, vote actively for Reform (in terms of ideology or policy), they voted Reform as a way to hit back at both Lab and Con, and as a way of trying to change a political and economic system that is no longer working for them. No social-national party of the slightest significance exists at present; Reform is the next-best option.
I see that, beyond Starmer-stein Labour propaganda trickery, nothing will change in terms of stopping the migration invasion, stopping the migrant-invaders taking over both social and private housing (paid for by the State out of taxation of the British voters); and nothing will improve in any significant way (if at all) for the British people economically.
Reform will rise up from here and, if it then founders, or fails, real social nationalism will then take up the baton. Raise the banners!
