The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can’t have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles – kingons, or possibly queons – that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.

What cartoon caricature will the tories put up next? How many more cycles before the world gets Rees-Mogged?

Great, now I’m doing gedankenexperiments like, “If the line that separates the monarch and the heir apparent is a spacelike curve when the monarch dies, observers in different reference frames may report different monarchs simultaneously, and both be correct within their reference frames.”

Are you guys OK over there?
I get the irony of someone in Texas asking about the well-being of someone in the UK, but seriously.
Are you guys OK?

If she bought a new sofa for No 10 then it won’t have been delivered yet but she’ll still have to pay in January.
Shame.

This whole omnishambles is starting to feel like an early draft by Nigel Kneale for a fourth Quatermass serial.

Ugh.
So. Much. Stupidity.
IOW “We set out for yet another massive transfer of wealth to the topmost fraction of the 1% and now it seems I was unable to finish this mission…”
Just nope.
Just stop already.

Well no, because of, y’know, everything, but it is at least funny and with each new fuck-up there’s a greater chance of us getting the Tories out of power some time soon.
