      Oh yeah. Gotta admit I got caught up in the idea of having someone who wasn't a complete monster in charge of the country but yeah, dispassionate analysis was always that the best he could do was get within a gnat's pube of number 10, scare the shit out of the establishment and openly demonstrate to everyone watching that the establishment will absolutely not let anything approaching actual democracy happen.

        Boris Johnson as PM is the kind of shit the UK deserves, tbh. Corbyn's run broke the Labour party, and now it's crumbling from the inside under the new so-called leadership.

        Maybe this is just what needs to happen in order to liberate Scotland, N. Ireland, and Wales.

      As the former head of the Crown Prosecution Service I was honoured to serve the Royal Family and cherish those long evening phone calls assuring the Duke of Edinburgh that we would not be wasting time and resources pursuing charges against the innocent and slandered family friend Sir Jimmy Saville. Like Mr Saville and his charming son Prince Andrew, the Duke of Edinburgh was a man who lived life to the fullest while devoting himself to country and charitable endeavours. He was an inspiration and icon of the British character and, assuming the prime minister is kind enough to allow me to attend, I look forward to paying my respects at the funeral.

      He's standing on the shoulders of his fellows. But they're working class schlubs. Not thing kind of person who gets invited to host BBC documentaries on the island's ten sexiest pedophiles.

    Did he delete? I don't think he'd have anything to lose by dunking on the dead not-king today, but I can sympathize not getting months of rabid hate tweeting support before tweeting condolences
