My grandad is currently forwarding me the telegraph articles about china flooding the UK market with cheap EVs. Oh no, cheap EVs! This is just the thing I was most afraid of. Whatever will those dasterdly Chinese think of next.

In 1000 years, the king has never been unable to gently caress the horses. The monarch is always virile and powerful

BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC
