There currently is no Queen, no James Bond, no Doctor Who, and no Prime Minister in the UK. It's just a shadow of itself.
@ErikUden no doctor is unacceptable but idc about the rest.
@ErikUden @Daveography choosing to read this as a shadow government joke

@majorlinux @ErikUden I've just finished the main game and Paddy Gibson has shot right up my list of favourite Bonds. Looking forward to the next game more than the next film.
@ErikUden I mean, it might be better if the PM was two raccoons in a trench coat or better still, just appoint Larry. But no Doctor? oof
@ErikUden But Olivia Dean still reigns πŸ™Œ

@ErikUden and as if that was not enough, someone over there put their secret Scones recipe on the open internet.

The UK is truely done for.

Four Scone Recipes

You know what it’s like; you go to the home baking aisle of the supermarket and pick up a bag of flour, thinking β€˜I’m sure I’m running low’, buy a bag, only to find there is, in fact, a large bag s…

@ErikUden Still too many Elgin Marbles.

@ErikUden

One must wonder what all the flag shagging is celebrating.

@ErikUden

They used to be a country, a proper country.

@ErikUden still got Bad Enoch, tho...
@ErikUden "Welcome to the system, here's the situation; it's a bit confusing, welcome to the maze!"
@ErikUden is there a mister bean?
@ErikUden just find one person to do all of it. Marrying the king should be easy enough, casting them for two roles, trivial. So what is Robert Pattinsons constituency?
@ErikUden I guess there are some Young Ones unseen yet. And donΒ΄t leave out the Grandmas and Grandpas looking after the local railway-station. We saw many heroes on our last visit πŸ™‚
@ErikUden No need for them, AI can do it.
@nohaironheed @ErikUden Might as well give the head of lettuce another try.
@ErikUden there has been no Queen since 1991 πŸ™
@ErikUden also: No Prime Minister sounds like an interesting spin-off of Yes Prime Minister πŸ˜€
@WiteWulf @ErikUden Actually there has been no proper Queen since the end of the 70s...
@ErikUden It's been so long since it was allowed to subjugate brown people and take their stuff to put in its museum of stolen property, it's starting to get rather antsy. The point that the museum is even considering loaning some of the stolen property back to its rightful owners and Scotland is talking about another independence referrendum so I don't blame it for curling up in a foetal position and crying about its lost empire.
@ErikUden Wait? Are Brian May and Roger Taylor okay?
@ErikUden Sun's out too...could the end be nigh?
@ErikUden We still have custard creams and Marmite and tea. Everything is fine.

@james @ErikUden Often in the same glass, purΓ©ed...

Mwahahahahah

@james @ErikUden

"fish fingers and custard" - a delicatesse that's been taught to me by "eleven" πŸ˜‰

@ErikUden we have a malignant clown and his circus of sycophants tying themselves into knots in order to avoid public scrutiny, while the clown cleans out the coffers because he fired all the watchers. We are a horrific reduced ghost of ourselves.
@ErikUden no, It was always like that. Everything else was science fiction
@ErikUden crossing fingers for there to be no england soon in the UK because god the world would be so much better if england didn't exist. heck i'd take just london ceasing to exist.

@Nine @ErikUden at this point I am curious if things would be improved by demoting Westminster and putting the Scottish government at the top of the hierarchy.

I’m sure they have their open problems, but yowsa Westminster is having a decade.

@ErikUden the Untied Kingdom is entering a new era (typo intended)
@ErikUden Queen Camilla would disagree
@ErikUden the completion of the English bourgeois revolution is upon us! Annihilate the monarchy!
@ErikUden I am going to go crazy if I hear that someone named Lamont Cranston is trying for Prime Minister. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
