 BREAKINGThe Royal Scoundrel has taken the Queen's Assent and scampered away with it. Per a 1649 rule, a law is inadmissible if the Scoundrel manages to steal it and hide it in his pouch. Black Rod has been dispatched to find and arrest the Royal Scoundrel before midnight.

Helsing posted:They invited his son back because it turns out being run by a protestant Taliban wasn't any better than having a monarch, and they figured at least the son of the guy they decapitated would be more compliant than the vicious crew of Christian fundamentalists that went on to found America. The Puritans turned out ok here eventually. The lovely stuff mostly came about thanks to the aristocratic manorial system (filled with monarchy supporters, Cavaliers etc) getting transplanted to Virginia and then getting fused with chattel slavery. So yeah not sure you should be crowing about the Cavalier side of the civil war so much imo.

The Gammonati have summoned an Elder Ham to take back control of Brexit. Neil Gaiman wrote a Doctor Who episode where the essence of the TARDIS takes human form. I feel this is similar but with a Wetherspoons pub instead.

Der Meister posted:yea king charles hated parliament and dismissed it all the them when he thought he had enough money and didn’t need it. when he did it in 1629 he didn’t call for a new parliament for several years. then he called them back and was a big bitch and tried to arrest several MPs as they sat in the commons. that was unsuccessful because he was 4’9” or whatever and I imagine had the fortitude of a new kitten. that added to the anger against him in what became a civil war that ultimately resulted in his decapitation. but then later the English lost their minds even more and asked his son to reestablish the monarchy life under Oliver Cromwell was unbelievably lovely, which is why they restored the monarchy

Eh, it's not like those people weren't still in charge after. It's more that without a king, English gentry were all hyper focused on their individual purposes to the point where nothing, ever, could be decided upon by the government. Even by today's standards it was completely ineffectual and terrible. The English upper class are inherently duplicitous and full of treachery. They need royalty to keep them in line.

It's not like they terfed all the members of Parliament who backed him, or later tried to make him king first before restoring the old monarchy It sucked because the English gentry were, like, ludicrously bad at managing any of the large scale concerns of the nation that gave them their station without a clear, god appointed sovereign to keep them aligned on things.

I'm not trying to defend the guy. I'm saying that when they finally got back to having a king, it wasn't because the lords and land owners of England suddenly smartened up about theocratic bullshit, it was because Cromwell refused the crown, his son was useless and they had been completely terrible at managing anything without some patriarch decreeing things to them from on high. The English really didn't want a Republic when it all started out, that kinda happened thanks to the insane ego and generally stupid behaviour of the King, and when a generation later the infighting was more or less done they kinda just looked vack and said 'eh, if we added a few more limits to the King so he can't be as much of a oval office as Charles was it would probably be okay'

Mr Hootington posted:https://twitter.com/LeonaONeill1/status/1171140729462231042?s=19 Sadly, yes. Brexit has thrown a spotlight on the situation in Northern Ireland because Troubles II: Republic Boogaloo is a scary thing Remainers can wave around to show how bad Brexit will be. But if you lived in the Creggan or any of the other socially deprived areas of NI then this has been the kind of low-level conflict that has been going on since the Good Friday Agreement. The NI peace process is incredibly fragile and has suffered badly at the hands of Sinn Fein and the DUP, who both favour entrenched sectarian politics over building a post-conflict working solution in NI.

i say swears online posted:he had armor fitting him when he was young iirc The more things change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_the_Cloth_of_Gold "The Field of the Cloth of Gold (French: Camp du Drap d'Or) was a site in Balinghem – equidistant between Ardres in France and Guînes in the then-English Pale of Calais – that hosted a tournament field as part of a summit from 7 to 24 June 1520, between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France. The summit was arranged to increase the bond of friendship between the two kings following the Anglo-French treaty of 1514. [...] This meeting made a great impression on contemporaries, but its political results were very minor. While the carefully established rules of the tournament stated that the two kings would not compete against each other, Henry surprisingly challenged Francis in a wrestling match, but it turned sour for Henry when he quickly lost. Relations between the two countries worsened soon after the event when Cardinal Wolsey arranged an alliance with Charles V, who declared war on France later that year commencing the Italian War of 1521–26."

There's a BBC program called Pop goes Northern Ireland, which is just archival footage from a particular year of the troubles, with the pop music hits of that year as background music. It sounds like a bad idea, but it works really really well.
