I am running a quiz (for fundraising) - I need some current affairs questions please?

[LimitIsUp]

So far I have:

1)Which Southampton football club player was recently fined £96, 425 for driving offences?

Answer: Mario Lemina – the fine was for failure to disclose who was driving his car rather than the actual speeding offences

2)Which veteran Labour MP recently (August 2018) resigned the whip after claiming that Corbyn’s leadership is “a force for anti Semitism”?
Answer: Frank Field, MP for Birkenhead for the past 40 years. He claimed that Labour was increasingly “seen as a racist party” and that Mr Corbyn has done “nothing substantive” to address the issue
……...

I need some difficult ones to sort out the men (and women) from the boys (and girls)..as well as some more moderate to easy questions

I avoid the news mostly so would appreciate some suggestions. Cheers

Thanks

History - which country first used concentration camps?, answer Britain.

I would not use that one. Simply because that really depends on what once considers a concentration camp.

I've heard people use the term concentration camp when talking about the Indian removal act. Which would make the answer to this question the US...

Also, didn't Spain have camps before the British empire?

(I'm definitely not a history expert - especially not in regards to the British empire... - so I might be wrong.)

Anyhow, I think this really shows the need for very precise, clear questions that leave no room for ambiguous answers or room to discuss whether an answer is actually the correct answer...

Good points about clarity and precise questions

What is the name of the process by which a US President can be removed from Office?

What is the name of the successful American hip hop musical about an 18th Century politician?

I’d also suggest the rule “no questions which bring the Holocaust to mind in as part of your fun night out.”
Especially since a lot of people don’t distinguish between concentration camps and extermination camps.

Tbh, I don't think distinguishing them makes the reminder less painful. But it's definitely not a bad rule. Might be good to apply it to genocide and similar crimes in general, tbh....

Which film character uttered the immortal words
‘Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn?

Who is the second worst Foreign Secretary of all time? Give no marks if they suggest Boris Johnson, a point if they name anyone who has held the post.

Where was the first FA cup final played? It's the Oval (the cricket ground).

Oh I know that one saints. It’s George Brown. (Edward Grey top by a country mile, Boris third, Carrington fourth or even third perhaps if you’re feeling harsh).

That should raise a laugh ForalltheSaints
