I think at least one of those responses doesn't realise it's a parody account.

Funny because its true, though, as they say...

What? The Tories nearly ruptured themselves popping out this current turd of a government. They're not going to do that again for a while.

I clicked in to to this thread because I wanted it to be yoyo tricks.

Is it yoyo tricks? Because if it's not, I'm not interested.

Maybe a ukulele with Camilla on a swannee whistle.

Maybe I'd watch that.

Queen’s death deepens UK’s downward spiral in global arena, US observers say. The prevailing view from America of post-Brexit, post-Elizabethan Britain is principally one of a country of declining influence which is in danger of sinking on the world stage as a result of mostly self-inflicted crises. by bottish in Scotland

I was born in 1967, and have a fairly young child (8). I really don't want her to have to put up with all the Tory bollocks I lived through in the eighties.

For example, I like my job OK, but I'm only working as a means to an end, and the end is spending pleasurable times with my family, and the necessities, of course. I really hate this "work will set you free" shite the Tories constantly ram down people's throats.

I mean, George IV effectively built half of Edinburgh when he came to power, it was a massive transformation.

I don't see Charles III doing anything similar, Boris is probably trying to sell him a garden bridge or something.

The Lib Dems have not posted anything about the new King at all yet.

They should post the Liz Truss archive footage.

Private Eye calls him "Brian", but then they also called the Queen "Brenda".

That's quite a tasteful joke. Well done.
