Saturday quiz
Well, this week brings another win over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 4/10, but I trumped that with 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, and 9.

She is right, and about Elliot Colburn very right (except that his surname is “Colburn” not “Coldburn“). Here he is, the careerist little twit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_Colburn. Never really had a job; no profession, either.
Well, his MP-odyssey will soon be at an end. Looking at the election results for his constituency, he will be toast within a year; he will then have to get a real job, if anyone would give him one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carshalton_and_Wallington_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s
Andrew Bridgen is considered very dangerous by the System, because he is an MP, not someone opining on Twitter/X or Facebook. The System will be doing everything possible to have him removed as MP and replaced in 2024 by a Con Party or Lab Party drone who will make the “expected” noises. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bridgen.
Looking at Bridgen’s constituency, it was Labour from 1997 until Bridgen was elected in 2010. His vote-share has increased steadily since then, and in 2019 was 62.8%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_West_Leicestershire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.
Looking also at the present political climate, and the great unpopularity of the present government, it may be that Bridgen has as much chance as a “Reclaim Party” candidate as he would have had as a “Conservative” Party one.
Reclaim Party is a dead duck, in my opinion, but Bridgen has a high public profile, and it is just about possible that, if the Conservative Party vote in the constituency collapses, or reduces by 40%-50%, and if the Labour Party vote only increases slightly, that Bridgen might just manage to come through the middle and win by a short head. A long-shot, but just about possible.
All part of an overarching “agenda” (conspiracy).
I do not disagree on some of what Goodwin often expresses, but anyone who doormats for Israel and the Jewish lobby (as Goodwin does in that discussion, and in some of his tweets) cannot be respected by me…
Looks hopeful, as far as it goes…
I agree, in outline, with that tweet by Goodwin.
I would normally agree with that, but can think of a couple of advantages all the same. Hm, think that I shall lie doggo on that question.
About 25% (mostly over 70s).
“Brits asked: “Which side in the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict do you sympathize with more?”
All Brits: Israel 21% Palestine 17% Both equally 29% Dont know 33%
Labour voters: Israel 9% Palestine 27% Both 35%
Conservatives Israel 39% Palestine 6% Both 27%
18-24 yr olds Israel 11% Palestine 39% Both 16%
Pensioners Israel 37% Palestine 11% Both 36%.”
There should be an MPs’ section (result would be “Israel 90%, Palestine 10%“, looking at how many are either bribed or intimidated by the Jew-Zionist lobby).
The true face of Zionism?
Those American (mainly) Jew settlers or colonists are far worse even than the old-style or “Sabra” Israelis.
I blogged years ago about an experience I had when in Egypt in early 1998: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2020/02/02/the-jews-i-met-at-an-oasis/.
Incidentally, and for those interested in slightly picaresque travel tales, another reminiscence about Egypt: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/03/07/when-i-was-not-arrested-in-egypt/.

Incredible that, in 2023, a large organization such as Currys is still unaware that “Jack Monroe” is a total fraud and “grifter”. Still, if you have ever been in any of their stores, you can see that Currys is badly-run, and only saved from being hopeless by the skills of some of their staff, who however, are rather poorly-paid (underpaid).
“Jack Monroe” runs dozens if not hundreds of Twitter/X “sock accounts”, most of which are very obvious.
Incredibly, “Jack Monroe ” now has 507 utter mugs sending her between £3.50 and £44 per month via Patreon. Each. At one time she had over 800, but that fell back to below 400 as she was exposed as a fraud. Seems that another 100+ idiots have signed up in the past few months. Truly it is said that… there’s a new mug born every minute…
