Too busy being sucked off by elon

What if we bought from China, just to scare the USA

It’s not xenophobia to want to defend against foreign forces such as the USA, Russia, etc. Calling Elon Musk a “foreigner” (the purpose of my comment was a proposed response against elon) would annoy him because he peddles actual xenophobia. Kinda funny how he would want us to “defend” against middle easterners but not him. Interesting 🤔

I think elon musk is a bigger threat to evropa than the Khan family who live down the street

That’s what I said.

Foreigners. That includes Americans.

Stasi are back?

Google is slopped up

Ah yes, British democracy. The bringer of Brexit, Boris Johnson. The mess we are in now cannot at all be blamed on His Majesty the King or her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, but on the democratically ruling public. Sure, democracy in it’s current form is definitely good for keeping the government to account, (a ranked choice system would be nice but that was democratically rejected in a refurrendum) but I do not trust the British public with selecting a head of state at all. America already made a pigs ear of it, the only country that seems to do it decently off the top of my head is Ireland, which has been rather untouched by populism and has a population of 5.4 million. And even then, I wouldn’t be surprised if they elect a knobhead at some point.

The King can appoint anyone he likes as prime minister and anyone he likes as lords. The Royal Family only follow a predictable tradition. The King carries command over the armed forces, police, etc. I do not trust an elected official with that role. The fact is, the Windsor family (as they are now called but have gone through different name changes) have been custodians of this land for almost 1000 years and in the last 300 have done an excellent job at keeping it. The biggest threat was Edward VIII who was swiftly removed from power anyway.

It’s significantly worse. President Farage could remove elections, suppress democracy, etc. The Prime Minister doesn’t have command of the Military either, all commands have to go through His Majesty The King.

It’s kind of like a necessary evil. Personally, a system of inheritance doesn’t sit right with me. But the fact of the matter is, it works and is stable. And larping as a kingdom is also pretty fun.

Tbh I think we have a lot to be thankful for in the BBC. I don’t think it’s possible to have a perfect system or broadcaster. The monarchy has worked for the UK for centuries. We haven’t slipped into fascism - the type of coup people describe Trump as doing would most likely be impossible in our lifetimes in the UK under the monarchy (depending how George Wales turns out, but he has good parents)

Hopefully one day the British state will get rid of the embarrassment of being headed by a family of nepo babies.

President Farage, anyone?

But the law is passed in the King’s name

George V was also pretty based. Essentially, the House of Lords kept rejecting the Common’s bills to limit the Lords so he threatened to fill the Lords with people who won’t reject it.

We’ve been pretty good with monarchs in recent history anyway, barring Edward VIII

Sure, you can complain about the system, but now we have a funny old man who likes nature and pedestrian based affordable towns who’s worst flaw is that he cheated on his wife compared to his clownterpart across the pond who’s done it several times.

I don’t think that happened in September 2022 unfortunately. It would have been a great time to.

Do you obey the law?
