Yeah I'm there for the history, they had some good facilities for that

I finalised my university choices yesterday.

Didn't know we had so many young'uns in this group.

St Andrews and Nottingham.

Noice.

St. Andrews is 👌

Exeter and Cardiff

Are you a Brit?

Anglo Slavic hybrid

Same

I was more referring to nationality and residence.

Not chav enough for @GodFearingEnglishman though. <:eksdee:558283291292336138>

I've never seen a chav with such received pronunciation.

Oh yeah Brit national

Live in Kent

Crikey, we're taking over this server.

Peoples republic of UK taking over oh no

>people's republic

I'd like to move to somewhere near a national park.

Perhaps Dartmoor or the Lake District.

.waaw

Damn

That's terrifying.

Oh

Idek how to feel about Lizzie the Lizard anymore. She's a nice lady, but UK tanked to hell under her rule

There's really only so much blame that can be placed on her.

She's been totally cornered by Parliament.

True

But she still has the veto power, no?

Well, somewhat.

She's mostly just a figurehead isn't she

My friend wrote quite an interesting article on how the abortion act was passed through the backdoor without her explicit assent.

I'll see if I can find it.

No luck.

Rip

But to sum it up, royal assent has been eroded so much that Parliament can essentially get away with passing bills without consulting Her Majesty, or seeking her assent.

The Queen's power is crippled now

Probably memory hole'd

Quite scary how news disappears like that.

If I remember directly, there's also a painting in the Castle of the beheading of Charles I(II?) that was ... "charitably bestowed" upon the monarch by parliament.
