In the coronation, Penny Mordaunt played the role of strange lady distributing swords

@pubby @KevinMarks gah I always get the quote slightly wrong 😂
@johnmark @KevinMarks Don’t forget about those moistened bints lobbing scimitars.
@spiritualbully @KevinMarks all of this. Thank you, Charles, for the comedic opportunity.
@KevinMarks
That is a spectacular Monty Python reference  👌
Ah, so that's what the greek stewardess is called!
@KevinMarks I want to do that! I finally found what to do with my life! Strange lady in a pound distributing swords!
@KevinMarks I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
@KevinMarks Was nice to see the Lady of the Lake getting out for a change.
@KevinMarks @cstross it’s a good thing it’s not a scimitar, as she does not appear to be moistened…
@KevinMarks that’s no basis for a system of government!
