This week, a narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul. I scored 5/10 as against his 4/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 3, 4, 6, and 9.

There is no doubt that, if the USA assumes power over Greenland, the geopolitical position of the USA in the Arctic region will have improved, though it already has a base there; however, that presumed geopolitical advantage will have been bought (perhaps literally, if the Greenlanders are to be bribed) at the cost of (also) US relations with Denmark and most of the rest of Europe.

Elon Musk is not wrong. Shocking, and also embarrassing for the UK.
Most of the repression of free speech in the UK, 90% or more, maybe even 99%, is driven by the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and is carried out by, or by reason of, the “activism” (suborning by, demanding by, whining by) Israel-connected and Israeli Embassy-connected orgs such as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”].
The pro-Israel Jews call it “lawfare”, meaning the abuse of English and Scottish laws, and legal systems, including prosecutors and police, to shut down views which they want silenced.
More applicable to the UK than USA.
Beware people who support free speech on Islam but oppose free speech on 'Israel'. Free speech is for everyone about everything.
I would say that there should be free speech, i.e. speech and other expression, free of criminal sanction, and on any social, political, medical, scientific, or historical topic. The only spoken or written words that should attract criminal sanction would be direct threats to individuals, or to small groups (e.g. the local sports team, a particular team of Sky News or BBC News journalists, a specified individual church building or other specified religious building); there may be a few exceptions to that general rule of freedom, e.g. official secrets.

I cannot agree with Goodwin on several topics, including a few expressed there, in that short clip, but he is right about Starmer-stein’s fake Labour. Hopeless, anti-British, and incompetent to boot.

🚨 NEW: Labour MP Karl Turner has threatened to trigger a by-election unless Keir Starmer U-turns on his plan to scrap jury trials for crimes with sentences less than 3 years
The Independent’s 20-something scribbler also writes that Karl Turner is “a former barrister”. Wrong (as any real journalist should know). Once a barrister, always a barrister unless (like me) disbarred for whatever reason or at own request (in my case, wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred after a politically-motivated complaint by a pack of Jews), and that remains so even if (like Turner) someone fails to complete pupillage (on-the-job training) or is not actually working as a barrister for some other reason.
As for Turner’s MP-life, the next election in Kingston-upon-Hull East will be between Labour and Reform, and Labour will face a fight whether he is their candidate or not: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_upon_Hull_East.
I suppose that he might even fight as independent Labour or the like.
Translates to a Commons with about 393 Reform MPs (very solid majority), Lab 87 (very weak official Opposition), 54 LibDems, 45 SNP, 21 Cons, and 15 Greens [etc].

Give up Eastern Ukraine to Russia, and negotiate for Kiev and Odessa to be either free cities or ruled by Russian/Ukrainian condominium agreement.
Late thought
So the USA under Trump is apparently willing to attack, invade, or otherwise take on, simultaneously, Venezuela, Greenland/Denmark, Iran, and even Russia, even China, not to mention smaller states such as North Korea and Yemen, and maybe even Canada.
The phrase or maxim about “taking on more than you can chew” comes to mind…
“A new civil service internship scheme will be open only to working-class students as part of a drive to make Whitehall better reflect the country, the government has said.
The programme will give students from lower-income backgrounds the chance to apply for paid government placements. The definition of working class will be based on what jobs were held by their parents when the applicant was 14 and replaces an existing programme open to all.
The Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden said the action was being taken because applicants from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were less likely to get a place on the so-called fast stream.“
[Guardian]
As with several of the policies unveiled by Starmer-stein’s government, one can only shake the head at the sheer wrongheadedness of it.
It is a wrongful policy for several reasons, one of which is that it is likely to encourage blacks and browns to rule, probably incompetently, over the UK.

Without Western aid, “Ukraine” (the Kiev-regime state) could not even exist. US/EU/UK aid not only supplies arms, ammunition, armoured transport etc, but also pays for the ordinary (if shambolic) quasi-state administration (and, of course, vast sums stashed by Zelensky’s cabal offshore).
Meanwhile, US, EU, and UK taxpayers suffer because huge sums are being diverted to the Kiev regime.

“Baroness” Deech, a Jew-Zionist academic now elevated to the House of Lords, headed the Bar Standards Board, or BSB, when “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”], of which she was also a member, complained about my socio-political views, in or about 2014.
The “baroness” was still, I believe, the head of the BSB when the decision was taken to haul me before a Bar Disciplinary Tribunal, though by the time the “trial” took place, in 2016, she had been replaced by another mouthpiece for Israel and the Jewish lobby, a retired diplomat who had been involved in recovering property allegedly confiscated from Jews in mainland Europe in the 1930s and 1940s.
In other words, the Jewish/pro-Jewish influence on the BSB meant that the decision to “prosecute” me was flawed ab initio, being totally unobjective; biased.
I made those points at my Tribunal hearing in late 2016, but the chairman of the panel, a retired circuit judge, refused to take them as particularly significant, though he described my overall “case” as “unprecedented.”
Incidentally, the malicious Jewish cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] was also involved in conspiring to get me disbarred, behind the scenes, though the actual complaint was formally signed off by yet another “UKLFI” (etc) Jewish barrister (of whom I had never heard), one Goldberg, now about 80 and apparently once Counsel for, inter alia, the infamous part-Jew gangsters, the Krays.
“Baroness” Deech is or was also a leading member or supporter of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”…

[“Surely the key thing here is to raise awareness of what the civil service is and does rather than restricting who applies. I can’t say I had a clue about it until I worked in politics with and along side it. Got the vague gist from Yes Minister and that was about it. It wasn’t touched on once in any of my history lessons or even a history degree. Ridiculous when you think about it. Also ridiculous is the idea that the civil service doesn’t “get it” – it very much does, it’s politicians who don’t and Parliament is still too full of over-privileged twits.“]
The key thing is, in fact, whether, in the American black argot, “it do de job“. Same goes for doctors, lawyers, judges, politicians and all other occupations. Questions of “fairness” etc (either way), still less “diversity” etc are, at best, secondary.
Everything in this country must “do de job” properly.
I have to admit that I like the lady’s spirit, despite disagreeing with her on various matters (especially re. the continuing migration-invasion of the UK).
As to Israel-puppet, drunk, drug-abuser, and general deviant, Gove, my referring to him about a decade or more ago (and entirely accurately) as an expenses cheat, and puppet of Israel and the Jew lobby (I did not know then about his drug and alcohol abuse), was one of the five “grossly offensive” tweets (yes, just 5, out of over 150,000 tweets and retweets posted since 2011) that got me disbarred at the instigation of the Jew-Zionists in 2016.
“Former principal of St Anne’s, Baroness Deech said she ‘welcomed’ the support for a group that has suffered ‘hardship’ in recent times.

Needless to add, no such scholarships exist for “white Northern European British only” undergraduates…

Windsor has been Conservative for most of its existence since the Conservative Party emerged in the 1830s, certainly since the 1840s. The last non-Conservative elected there was a Liberal, elected in 1868.
Rankin’s tenure as MP for Windsor may be short. The next election must have Reform UK as a likely contender (got about 10% in 2024), and both Lab and Con are likely to prove unpopular choices next time.
More about UK Lawyers for Israel and the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”
Good news; long overdue they are a public nuisance at best.
[“BREAKING: The UK Charity Commission is now investigating the charitable wing of UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), following a complaint from CAGE International. CAGE submitted the complaint last month against both UKLFI and the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA). The Charity Commission confirmed the investigation last week. The complaint detailed how UKLFI and CAA have helped egitimise Israel’s racist, apartheid and genocidal policies. It also states both groups have been making malicious complaints to universities, employers, and regulatory bodies to silence pro-Palestinian voices. These actions have caused serious harm to individuals. The Charity Commission must end the charity cover used to provide an advocacy infrastructure in support of genocide. To find out more about UKLFI and CAA, read our report Britain’s Apartheid Apologists: https://cage.ngo/product/report-britain-s-apartheid-apologists.“]

Reform is already semi-System.

We have made an agreement with Vladimir Putin which, if accepted by others, could end the conflict. Moreover, we have made it clear to Ukraine and Europe that if they do not accept it, we will withdraw.

Quite. Russia is not only winning on the battlefield, but winning decisively, if slowly. There may be a massive breakthrough soon.
Whatever criticisms can be levelled at the Chinese government and Chinese society, it has to be admitted that their achievements over the past 40 years have been incredible.
