Talk of losing titles is offensive. Andrew stands accused of serious sexual offences, corruption and seeking to corrupt a police officer. Senior royals have been protecting and covering for him for years.

It’s actually quite comical how wrong @iandunt.bsky.social is about the monarchy. It works for the royals, it works for the government. Otherwise it’s a corrupt, secretive and undemocratic institution. And Ian thinks losing a title is a fitting punishment for rape.

The monarchy is an absurd medieval relic – but it works
People will say that the end of the monarchy is finally coming. Once again, they will be wrong

I find men who call themselves alpha males objectively hilarious.
Sir, you are not the left’s greatest fear. You have “alpha male” in your handle. Your bio insists you are “NOT a Homosexual” lol. You are probably an incel sitting in a basement and stewing in your own self-imposed toxicity. You are a cautionary tale, a test of the limits of our compassion.

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless.

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law.
We can no longer teach our children that.
And that's really fucking tragic.

Brexit – an unwelcome truth
Labour’s continued silence on Brexit might just reveal an unwelcome truth; another reason, perhaps, to use the Brexit telescope?

Daily Mail trotting out the old "austerity wedding" thing again. That was done deliberately (of course) because rationing was on going and the Windsors didn't want to look bad.
The wedding in fact cost about £1 million in 2024 prices and was a very lavish affair.

The election was only the second time since 1989 that the republicans won a majority of the popular vote. The other one being 2004.
“For 1st time since late 1800s the party in power has lost 3 US presidential elections in a row (including Trump 2020)
With anti-incumbent hostility this strong it’s too early for triumphal conclusions about the strength of his mandate or the durability of his majority”
