Saturday quiz
This week, the questions seemed harder than usual. Political journalist John Rentoul only scored 2/10, and I did little better— 3/10. I knew the answers to questions 2, 5, and 6.

The Bar Standards Board is infected and (((infested))): see what happened to me from 2014 onwards:
…and the Bar itself is now a bad joke, filled with semi-literate idiots who know nothing, and are terribly afraid of standing up to the “woke” police state. They put their financial interests first.
(((The usual suspects))) have been behind most of the Bar’s slide into irrelevance and falling prestige.
“Covid was without doubt a risk to some, but it’s danger was blown out of proportion, and in many cases, figures were inflated. it had a detrimental effect on the economy and the mental health of many, probably far surpassing the true dangers of the virus itself. governments were just winging it with many poorly thought out and unneeded decisions, and with heavy implementation of censorship taken up to silence those that opposed it, even though our own governments didn’t follow their own rules, of which they were forcing the entire country to follow. I can only hope I never see someone being paid to drive around blaring a “please stay inside” pre-recorded message out of a megaphone. This was however short term bullshit that we got out of. As for the metaphorical virus that we speak of; it will be far more pervasive, detrimental and long lasting to our country and the things that keep it ticking along. People are making decisions for our country based on a buzzword pissing match, and those that oppose it are being ever more censored, sacked, arrested or whatever else.“
For “regulators“, read “censors“, “snoopers“, “Stasi” etc.
Typical. Still, “always look on the bright side of life“— at least the Untermensch now has to pick up litter in Bristol for 150 hours, probably the only good he has ever done for the British people since he has been here (whether born here or not).
“1.BREAKING!!!! 19 year old woman visited by anti terrorist unit and @MerseyPolice yesterday. They asked her about her politics, if she is right wing, and why she had an ‘Anglo Saxon’ replica helmet in the house. They refused to say what she was accused of… They confiscated property… (a replica decorative sword hanging on her parents wall) and advised her: “Bite your tongue before talking on line.” @SpeechUnion @CollegeofPolice.”
The sheer cheek of the plods in question! Playing their “counter-terrorism” games. Put them back into uniform and get them patrolling “Murkyside’s” increasingly-dangerous streets.
Anyone who thinks that the above are not the tactics of a police state, even if —so far— a “poundshop” one, has not been paying attention.
The police (especially those ignorant of most relevant political and historical matters, and even relevant law, which means the vast majority) have no right and no business threatening the free speech of the people.
Incidentally, that Twitter/X account is here: https://x.com/WeAreFairCop.
My own experiences are, in part, recounted here below:
Starmer, Yvette Cooper etc have to go.
Never forget that, out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 voters who voted, only 4 voted Labour at GE 2024 (and many of those “Labour” voters only did so in order to bin the “Conservative” misgovernment of the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak).
That is the slippery slope down which a society slides when it says “you can have free speech but not hate speech“— and guess (((which))) element is at the forefront of shutting down freedom of expression in our country? That’s right…”them”.
Without “‘dislike, ill feeling, and antagonism” as options, there remains only abject subservience to the police state, all “happy” shiny little mixed-race or pro-racemixing people, and all applauding the pseudo-liberal State and multikulti society. Intellectual discrimination is central to a progressive (in the real sense) society, a society about to rationally choose its path to the future.
Yvette Cooper, a member of Labour Friends of Israel, is evil, as well as having been an expenses fraudster and freeloader who has never been punished. She must be removed from any position of power.
The young woman whose home was invaded by the “Murkyside” poundland Stasi “counter-terror” bad jokes has tweeted:
In an ideal world, every single one of those poundland Stasi police would themselves have their homes violated, and possessions confiscated, and members of their families questioned and alarmed. Maybe one day…
As regular readers of the blog will know, I was a barrister until the Jewish lobby procured my disbarment in 2016 (8 years after I had ceased Bar practice!): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.
Until very recent years, I retained a residual respect for the police, at least the rank-and-file. No longer. Useless at their proper job(s), and playing, many of them, at being “counter-terror” operatives. A bad joke force, nothing more.

I saw a few minutes of the structured “discussion” on Sky News with Sir Richard Moore, Chief of SIS/MI6 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Moore_(diplomat)] and William Burns, Director of the CIA [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Burns_(diplomat)].
My impressions (I did not watch the whole discussion): the CIA Director seemed more thoughtful, far more considered, and far less less gung-ho than the SIS Chief, who seemed shallow in his judgments. As in? Well, as in “the Ukrainians have the will to continue fighting“. Really? Is that why the Kiev regime has to employ press-gangs to recruit young-ish men? Is that why the Kiev regime is running out of soldiers willing to fight?
It seemed to me that the CIA Director was quite interested in finding a negotiated solution in Ukraine, whereas the SIS Chief seemed a far smaller figure altogether, foolishly referring to the Kiev regime as “our Ukrainian friends“. They are not our “friends” at all, but supplicants and beggars, arrogant demanding beggars at that.
The UK has virtually no common history with Ukraine at all, and of course Ukraine only became a state (and then, only in name) 30 years ago. Now a brutal, shambolic dictatorship.
Incidentally,
“In 2008, Burns wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: “Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.”[17]“
[Wikipedia].
Pity that Burns is not Chief of SIS! Still, there it is…
What bs is Richard Moore putting out to the public (and to Government? Or is he telling the British Government what it wants to hear, as happened with one of his predecessors before the invasion of Iraq?), about how “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev) is fighting on, and even “winning” (does he go that far?—maybe not), the fact is that Russian forces are advancing, and will continue to advance, at present mainly in the Donbass region, then across all Eastern Ukraine, either this year or in 2025.
Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.
