Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul. I scored 7/10 as against his 4/10.
I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 9.
I really should have got no. 6 (having lived in Brittany) and also no. 7 (as someone who likes to think that he keeps up with political events), but there it is…

The rest of that thread is unintentionally funny: some Labourite cretin fantasizing about how much better this fake-Labour government would have been had either Liz Kendall (WHAT?!) or (Jesus H. Christ!) Gloria de Piero had become Labour leader! The latter, incidentally, was the useless and brainless TV presenter who became a “Labour-lite” MP in 2010, stepped down as MP in 2019 (knowing she would not be re-elected) and is now, thankfully, all but forgotten.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_De_Piero].
I do not know much about Rod Stewart, but I get the impression that he is someone who does like to give someone a chance. Starmer-stein has had his chance, and continues to do things that make him and Labour either hated or held in contempt, or both.
Needless to say, for me, Reform UK is underwhelming, not really “national”, and is pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, pro-finance-capitalism etc, BUT also the only game in town to crush the existing System party set-up that has been around for so long, certainly since the 1930s, and effectively since about 1900 if not prior to that date.
For me, it scarcely matters that Reform UK is itself basically a germinal System party, because its role is to chuck Labour and Conservative parties into the dustbin of history. After that, we shall see…
Ha. If only! The Russians have rather painted themselves into a corner with the “Nazi” stuff. The fact is that the Kiev regime is basically Jew-Zionist, and allied to Israel. As for “Nazi descendants“, that presumably refers to the new British SIS Chief, Blaise Metreweli, who has both Georgian and Ukrainian antecedents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Metreweli.
There has been a trend in Russian propaganda in recent years of being rather silly, especially around the “neo-Nazi Ukraine” stuff, and so on. Also, the pro-Stalin and “Great Patriotic War” nostalgia stuff.
Maria Zakharova might educate herself a little were she to read more widely about the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. e.g. The World I left Behind (published in Russian as Niece of the General Secretary, Племянница Генсека) by Lyubov Brezhneva: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyubov_Brezhneva.
I need Russia to win the war with the Kiev regime, Russia has to win this war, appalling though it is, but it must drop the silliness of some of its propaganda (and also appoint better military and intelligence strategists).
It does not surprise me that Starmer-stein is morally corrupt, and the same goes for quite a few of his MPs (and the “Conservative” ones). What has slightly surprised me over several recent years (since about 2009, when I returned to live full-time in the UK) is how utterly clueless, totally ignorant, so many MPs are, including Cabinet ministers and, indeed, Prime Ministers (Starmer-stein, Liz Truss, Boris-idiot, Theresa May, Cameron-Levita, Sunak, even Gordon Brown).
Unsurprising. A party led by a Nigerian woman who is only here because her parents came to London for her birth (at that time, 1980, anyone born in the UK could later apply for a British passport). Kemi Badenoch is not really British at all. Until she was about 16-17, she had only been here for a day or two after her birth. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She is alien.
Apart from that, though, imagine a party (“Conservative” by name) which apparently intends to help Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, and Liz Kendall pass their social security/”welfare” cuts package, so cruel and unfeeling, and so unnecessary.
Huge amounts of money are wasted on all sorts of nonsense, such as the nuclear-weapons-carrying fighter-bombers the UK is apparently going to waste money buying from the USA. Do the cretins pretending to run this country really believe that Russia, as it now is, wants to invade Western Europe, even invade the UK? The idea is ludicrous.
Meanwhile, the only invasion that matters is continuing: 500-1,000 across the Channel most days now, with a further ~5,000 coming in “legally” as (supposedly) “high-skilled” workers (who never leave), spouses, fiancees, tourists (who never go back), “students” (who never go back) etc. Also, births to non-Europeans already here (about 1,600 births a day occur in the UK, of which the majority now are non-white). Call it a total of about 7,000. Every day…
People spend 13, often 16, sometimes as many as 20 years, in full-time education in this country, and most know FA. Truly radical change needed.

Still, as Hitler said, it is not the gun, it is the man behind it [that matters]…

[“Israel’s plot to attack Iran hatched up to 15 years ago Israel had seeded target locations with “boots on the ground” long before June 13, an intelligence source told The Times.
The collected intel assisted Israel’s targeting of three nuclear sites in Tehran and Isfahan, including seven separate elements of the Natanz enrichment facility, and scores of other sites.
Israeli agents allegedly visited missile factories and workshops which Israel later targeted, including “the entire industry that supported” production of the conventional armaments.
Mossad possibly recruited “Iranian insiders,” the report hinted. Besides missile launches at Israel, a big component of Iran’s response to Israeli aggression has included hunting down Mossad agents, scores of whom have now been caught carrying improvised explosive devices, military-grade explosives, drones and even anti-tank missiles. Some agents have attempted suicide, while others engaged in dramatic, high-speed shootouts with police while attempting to get away.“]
As a John le Carre character reflected, intelligence work rests on patience and a kind of gentleness. Learn from the enemy and the potential enemy. Learn from history. MOSSAD, the KGB and GRU in their heyday, Chinese Intelligence, people such as Maurice Oldfield and Markus Wolf etc.
As for Israeli intelligence, remember what famous former MOSSAD operative Ostrovsky wrote, 36 years ago, i.e. that, in all countries where Jews exist, military and terror plans are in place, weapons and explosives secreted, to be used by selected Jews when the time comes. Look at the UK. Hundreds of young Jews go to Israel every year to be trained by the Israeli armed forces. They then return, most of them, to the UK, become journalists, editors, business parasites, City traders, whatever…but are also, some of them, agents or secret co-workers of MOSSAD, AMAN etc.
A fifth column in our society.

There it is. The American taxpayer is funding the Israeli war machine.
In turn, Israel and the American Jewish lobby fund US Senators and Congressmen…

Raus, Schweinhund!
Fortunately, that (Ukraine joining NATO) will never happen.

An interesting similar one might be done showing the UK, France, or the USA…
