Nah, they do, but just to make sure we don't forget how hellish the rest is.

It's like reverse Book of Job. Book of Boj*. If all you get is hell and torture it normalises; the shits in charge have to give us good stuff sometimes so the bad stuff hurts more.

Honestly think you'd see the end of the monarchy before he sat the throne.

And that's not because of public opinion shifting, it's because he's 9th in line and if it came down to him it'd probably mean that everyone's already dead.

Yeah, the dark ages were totally the fault of colored people coming in and living next door to us.
And totally not the elites in their castles and torture chambers and fighting other elites in other castles by sending us to fight for them.
Remember, a Romanian may want to live next door to you! Be afraid!

the dark ages in the popular understanding that boris is using is almost 1:1 straight out of gibbons who has been largely discredited for at least what a hundred years. of course he's leaving out the part where gibbons blames it only partally on immigration, making sure to also clarify it was also buggery, catholics and jews. and a paper bag test for what counts as the roman empire. can't imagine why the british establishment still teaches it.
