Having an inexplicable attachment to the status quo isn’t remotely interesting or worthy of all those words. It makes you a fucking middle Englander.

Yeah no I have no opinion on that, I was just responding to “it makes him what he is” And I just filled in from there

I know, just joking. Also remembering an old boy I used to know, Colin, who literally went to the poshest school in Australia, what a character he was.

I wouldn't have been surprised if Colin had worn a monocle at some point tbh.

Stig is really sucking up to Australia these days.
Hello to folk in Australia and New Zealand, one of my favourite parts of the world. So pleased that Death Under a Little Sky is published today. I hope a bit of UK rural, romantic crime fiction is up your collective alleys. https://t.co/0LBTWQn6vA pic.twitter.com/ZM7b0mLc5R— Stig Abell (@StigAbell) May 3, 2023

I also think if they're going to have that King's Defender position at all they should really allow people to actually challenge him. What's he for if nobody's allowed to take him on? Would bite his ankles until he submitted.

Good times to come.
The king of England is going to make a killing from climate change. The crown owns most of the seabed around England, meaning off shore wind farms have to pay rent through leasing programs. The Crown’s renewable assets are worth £4.3bn, with the seabed accounting for much of it. pic.twitter.com/V6Gc8DNLvm— Nicholas (@_nic_beuret_) May 4, 2023

The #Coronation is the ultimate showcase for the authority of both Church and state, but what makes it deeply weird is that there's a third element entwined - an impossibly ancient, improbably persistent idea of royal sacrality that's older than either Church or state pic.twitter.com/40Zf4A9GMM— Dr Francis Young (@DrFrancisYoung) May 5, 2023

Edward was the son of Æthelred the Unready and Emma of Normandy. He succeeded Cnut the Great's son – and his own half-brother – Harthacnut.
