Saturday quiz
Well, this week a convincing victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He awarded himself 2 “and a half” out of 10, whereas I scored 7/10.
I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 8. I admit that I guessed no.9 (out of two possibilities), and I really should have got no. 8, having visited the area several times, but I was out by some margin.
Typical…

“‘Dishonest’ London nurse ‘blamed for patient death’ took second job while ‘sick’ and faked timesheets. Adekemi Adefidiya worked agency shifts at Homerton Hospital while receiving sick pay from Barts”
So the “dishonest London nurse” is actually an African…
Not only that. My London used a stock picture of a white nurse to illustrate its report. Imagine the fuss and noise if they had done it the other way around…

Quite a photograph. Like “neo-Nazi” propaganda…
Oh…
I said, three years or more ago, on the blog, that “slightly to my surprise, Keir Starmer appears absolutely clueless“. Was I right or wrong?
It is not a question of whether Starmer will step down, but how and when. By resignation, and quite soon? After his MPs revolt after the local elections are a metaphorical bloodbath next year (2026)? After he loses the next General Election in (?) 2028 or 2029?
As I was saying…
“Boris”-idiot should be put up against a wall.
That refers to the past 5 years alone…
NO! both to Islamism and to Jew-Zionist supremacism.
…and no to Europe being swamped by non-Europeans in general.
I am not so sure. Never underestimate the stupidity of the so-called “elites”. Having said that, nothing countries such as the UK or France or Germany could send to Ukraine would change substantially the situation on the ground, which is that Russian forces continue to advance, the Kiev-regime forces continue to fall back, and the latter are losing 1,000-2,000 men every day.
Reposted today on Twitter/X by Dr. David Miller, the academic being persecuted and prosecuted by the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.
In fact, re. “lord” Walney (John Woodcock), I was there long before Dr. Miller:

Israel is doomed.
We have no need to read scholarly works about the ancient Medes and Persians to see that the relationship between economic strength and military strength is elastic, not simple. Look at North Korea: economically near zero in conventional terms, yet a major regional power militarily, and one which, if it were to acquire deliverable nuclear weapons, might be regarded as a potential world power.
It is true that Israel, Pakistan, and India all have nuclear weapons, and yet are not world powers, but it might be argued that Israel and perhaps India are anyway already more than simply regional powers.
How long before the British taxpayer is asked to pay out (yet again) via more aid money?…
Europeans should rule the world.
[“After the latest war between Iran and the Israeli regime, gaps in the defense systems of both sides were revealed. In these circumstances, Tehran intends to deploy the Russian advanced electronic warfare system “Krasukha-4” in the country in order not only to increase its deterrence potential, but also to create a balance of power in the region.
“Krasukha-4” is capable of blinding enemy radars and disorienting reconnaissance satellites. The deployment of this system in Iran is seen not only as strengthening the defense potential, but also as a strategic move that will entail serious geopolitical consequences for the entire region.“]
