Saturday quiz
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.

They must be afraid of Russian invasion. Very mistaken. Those times are long gone.
Madness. I had thought better of them.
“Motzfeldt“?

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.
Like something out of Stalin’s Russia (arguably, though Stalin’s secret police usually tried to abduct people by stealth); perhaps more akin to the forced “recruitment” drives by the Kiev regime.

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.
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.
Our animal friends.

Anything is possible.
Very good.

The Chinese have always been known to be a clever people, at least as a collective.
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].
Promising, from my point of view…
Give up Eastern Ukraine to Russia, and negotiate for Kiev and Odessa to be either free cities or ruled by Russian/Ukrainian condominium agreement.

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…
