Britain - The Official Thread

[Dreadmed]

Leaving aside that adage of the Queen being a figure-head that shouldn't interfere with the political process, I'd LOVE it if Liz (not Maggie 2.0) took Boris' list of peerages and promptly tore it to shreds in front of his eyes. Preferably in front of a camera or two.

Dorries is out, but likely to get bunged a seat in the Lords by BJ

But that's the sort of thing she's totally against, having previously raged about "expensive, unelected peers"...

Wouldn't be the first Conservative to abandon their principles...

Elizabeth Truss, Lib Dem, explaining why we should get rid of the monarchy that has just given her the job as PM...

Never seen a load-bearing ceremonial ribbon before.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Wait, where was the other end of the ribbon attached? Was she holding it?

There was an awkward-looking wooden plank lurking outside No 10 and then it made a speech.

Liz Truss needs a new Secretary of State for Twitter already...

 

[Sprite]

I think Frankie really summed it all up for me…

Spoiler: Language Warning

 

[Liquid]

Liz Truss needs a new Secretary of State for Twitter already...

With the Savile tweet still up? And screenshots lasting forever? I'm sure she'll be fine.

 

[PeterJB]

Well, my MP is the new Culture Secretary, having previously served as Education Secretary for the best part of 36 hours.

 

[UKMikey]

When it comes to killer black political comedy, she can be "trusted to deliver".

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Well my knowledge of British politics is really shallow but I do find this line in Truss' wikipedia page rather humorous:

Truss attended Merton College, Oxford, and was president of Oxford University Liberal Democrats. In 1996, she graduated and joined the Conservative Party.

Just like that, huh?

Oh, god, this whole thing is just one long work placement...

The commute was probably 5 minutes shorter.

Whoever came up with "ThickLizzie" and got it trending is a genius.

It's been doing the rounds for a while now.

 

[merseyxshore]

Anyone else never need to read the words "SLAMMED" and "BLASTS" in the British press ever again? See also: "romp" in the early 2000s...

 

[Blitz24]

Well, this news is concerning.

Then again, it is remarkable that we are so long into her reign that we feel she might live forever.

 

[Fezzik]

Expected though, when they don't release video of her meeting Truss and she missed an important constitutional meeting like Privy Council (even virtually)

King Charlie III imminent

 

[MatskiMonk]

Is it just me or does it look like she's got some kind of trauma going on with her right eye, and her hands probably shouldn't be that colour?

Charles and William on their way up there... sounds ominous.

 

[Touring Mars]

I'm not especially a monarchist but I have great admiration for The Queen, though I have grave fears for the future of the monarchy without her.

Her hands look severely frostbitten. The difference in complexion with her face is enormous.

She couldn’t pay her heating bill.

Or like an old person who's had a cannula in both hands for fluids.

Imagine being monarch for like a billion years and your last official appointment is meeting the Trussbot.

It would certainly would make me want to give up on this plain of existence.
