For real. It's kinda goofy. Like, homie, you still have an actual, honest to god, queen in charge of shit..

(Yeah, I've been reading a bunch of Pyongyang Times so my Juche posting is gonna be pretty heavy for a while)

    Oh but it's different because the Queen is the head of state and the head of the Church of England, which makes it okay

    I remember once there was a royal wedding. The local newspaper covered the entire facade of their building with a four story high portrait of the couple. Totally normal non-cultish thing to do.

    The Guardian just ran an op-ed about how the Queen has too much power but naturally, no one's going to read it and even if they do, standard British apathy will always apply

      I love how it's like one of the last relics of the BBS era (seen in their directory structure), but they also added in some social media buttons just because everyone else had them.

      Trump described as liar

      US president Trump, turning one year in office, has told as many as nearly 2 000 falsehoods since he took office, according to the Washington Post.

      The newspaper said an analysis of his interviews and speeches suggests Trump’s utterance of untruth amounts to 1 950 in around a year as president, or 5.6 every day on average.

      He continues to tell a lie regardless of time and place, it said, adding that he made 24 false cases in a 30-minute interview with The New York Times late last year.

      There's also something about how cut and dry they are with both headlines and content that's refreshing. No clickbait, just a story and a headline to match.

    Britain is gonna be fucking insufferable (even moreso than usual) for like 2 months after the queen finally kicks the bucket, I'm dreading it.
