If King Chuck's away then imo we should override the rules of succession to allow princess Anne to be queen for a couple of months or something, maybe let her do trooping of the colour, then pack the whole monarchy in and call it a day. She seems to be the one trotted out to do all the minor events the other royals can't be bothered with, like cutting the ribbons at refurbished civic centres and shaking hands with the non-photogenic people in hospital wards, so maybe give her a shot before it all gets turned into museums

Let all the kids do it in rotation so we can work out who's best. George on Mondays and Thursdays, Louis on Tuesdays and Fridays, Charlotte on Wednesdays and Saturdays then they split the Sundays on a rota

The most confusing thing about Kate news is that she looks so very much like my aunt (who is very much alive, thank you very much). Maybe she just decided keeping up a second identity was too much effort?

It is for WIlliam alone I set my murder in motion. It is by the headlines of Media that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is for William alone I set my murder in motion.

I'm sure the solution is something like this, and I expect the final explanation is just 'they're weird and out-of-touch' but I really don't understand exactly what there is to fear from transparency when the only outcome would be a slew of 'GET WELL SOON MA'AM' and 'KATE TRULY IS JUST LIKE THE REST OF US' headlines.

some highlights from the tice/anderson press conference:

- anderson regrets his half-hearted 'apology' for saying sadiq khan was controlled by islamists, he was actually speaking Truth on behalf of Millions of Unheard Britons
- anderson is joining reform because 'I want my country back' (direct quote)
- tice says that the behaviour of the vile muslamics at palestine demos is is causing jewish people to leave london and go back to their true home, israel

real loving grim stuff tbh

There was something in Gove's proposed wording about making sure power is not disproportionately left in the hands of one group to the detriment of everyone else, at which point the entire tory party shifted incomfortably in their seats.


Blows my mind that an elected MP can just change parties, that there's nothing binding them to the values / election pledges they're voted in on. I mean in this case it's the MP simply shifting up a gear and going from the 'quietly being a reactionary bigot' party to the 'loudly being a reactionary bigot' party, but still. Like if you voted in a green MP and then they just immediately switched to BNP, is there any mechanism to stop that?

My racist father in law has apparently been getting further radicalised by the Reform UK facebook page. He's gotten addicted to posting his rants in the comments of the page because they keep telling him he should stand as a candidate.

I don't think any of them realise that working class people are the stooges in Reform's game. They're the mob to be whipped into a rage over whichever issue the bourgeoise want them to vote on, they're not supposed to ever be in charge.

Apparently the video message isn't out yet, due to be broadcast during the commonwealth day service today, which runs from 2:45-4pm, so it should be out within an hour.

Yeah I had no idea what a commonwealth day was or that it was today.

But not warmed up much, more like death put in a dodgy microwave with a broken turntable for 45 seconds.

Or literally make some poo poo up, they could do the day that Brutus the Trojan and his Sea People established Britain by defeating the giants, even though that's not a thing that actually happened, like Japan does. Bonus with making some poo poo up is that you can pick whatever day you like so do it to give people a day off when the weather is nice.

All joking aside, my money's on Kate having Crohn's or a similar chronic gastrointestinal condition. Spoke to a GP friend recently and she said that there are only so many conditions that fit the timeline and details about Kate's hospitalisation and that's one of them. Plus Will just appointed a guy who's a trustee of Crohn's & Colitis UK as the Kensington Palace private secretary:

https://news.sky.com/story/prince-of-wales-appoints-ex-diplomat-as-private-secretary-13067934

She probably had surgery to remove a section of her bowel and was terrified that she'd have to be seen in public with a stoma/colostomy bag.

That or Will has been wearing her skin around the palace.

Speaking as someone who's been seen in public with an ileostomy bag for the past 4 decades, even the most dedicated pap is going to have trouble getting that snap.

Not much use if you don't get paid bank holidays! If we want to take a bank holiday we have to take it from annual leave so mostly we don't bother - nothing much doing on a bank hol unless you like watching horse racing on tv.

Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 2016 posted:

The UK currently has no unique national day. However, there are a number of days of celebration, and others, which are associated with celebrating the constituent countries of Britain and their traditions.

Existing days of celebration include, St George's Day in England, St Andrew's Day in Scotland, St David's Day in Wales and St Patrick's Day in Northern Ireland.

Over the years there have been various suggestions from the public for days of celebration and new bank holidays, however the current pattern is well established and accepted.

Although, it has been celebrated since ancient times in many locations throughout the UK, the early May Day bank holiday has only been in existence in the UK since legislation was passed in 1978. More recently it has been associated with workers’ rights groups who choose to march or protest on this day to raise awareness of their causes.

So according to David Cameron's cabinet, the :actually: answer is that there is no unique national day because we celebrate May Day along with the international workers of the world.

I'm okay with that, but it would be nice if they told people.
