I hear that the island of St Kilda is available.

There was a Spitting Image sketch many years ago in which a concerned Elizabeth and Philip sent their son to govern Rockall, ostensibly to give him some experience in statesmanship but really to get him out of the press after he made a series of “gaffes.” Rockall was then shown to be a small cluster of rocks in the middle of the ocean, with Charles governing from a cheap-looking throne as the seagulls there (the only residents) poop on him.

The episode returned to the joke later to show us a dejected-looking Charles returning to his parents, absolutely covered in seagull poop:

“Charles? Why are you here and why aren’t you governing Rockall?”
“Ah yes. The Republic of Rockall…”

The birds there do worse things than poop on you.

I’m pleased to learn that there’s a technical term for my involuntary reaction upon seeing the coronation merchandise section of my local supermarket.

Why? Because police and politicians don’t look at what works just across the border:

Didn’t he just blame it all on “activist” civil servants?

What a cretin, good riddance. Now for the rest of them to resign, please.

They need to announce a general election before they all resign, otherwise we will end up with our third unelected prime minister in a year. I don’t think Charlie will risk dissolving parliament on his own.

We don’t need no stinking King, and there’s only ever been one good Queen.

Are they attempting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

Especially including Jews in her group of “white people who don’t experience racism”. Sunak just has to say “yebbut, Labour’s full of antisemites” in PMQs in response to Starmer for a few weeks, rather than defending this current mess.

Cool, Labour have gone from “reasonable concerns” about trans people to “not even a respected Black MP can talk about racism,” in about a week.

Some godawful mish-mash of a wet Junior School teacher trying to be a gentle Tory.

Yet Rosie Duffield and other TERs are STILL a Labour MP, as are all the anti-ziganists who openly boast about all their anti-traveller work.

The Labour party is irredeemable as long as Keir Starmer is leader. Jewish people are being used as a shield to defend against other bigotry. Actually, considering Keir’s habit of going to right wing xtian churches, I would not be surprised if he believes that all Jews will convert to xtianity so that the second coming will happen.

He certainly has a long list of people who don’t really count.
