The UK had a furore over a fake Admiral at #RemembranceDay in #Llandudno, while #KingCharlie was an authorised fake #FieldMarshal in Whitehall.

But inbreeding is not the UK's approved only path to fake military rank.

#GilbertAndSullivan's "Sir Joseph Porter" was a parody of W.H. Smith, the eponymous bookseller whose political career led him to be #FirstSeaLord.

"He thought so little, they rewarded he
By making him the Ruler of the Queen's Navy!"

Respect to #MarkCarney for his genius chess move in getting #KingCharlie to tell #OrangeShitler to BACK THE FUCK OFF.
#tRump is such a snivelling fame whore that an actual #King (rather than a wannabe #Dictator) telling him to go fuck himself will really piss him off.
