Been saying for years, this was going to happen sooner or later.

Isn't this the clown that called moderate Muslims "Uncle Toms"? Can't wait until they demand a minaret at Westminster Abbey.

There's no England now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSUbn9qE8iY

"All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But there's no England now.
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore.
All the lies we were told,
All the lies of the people running round,
They're castles have burned.
Now I see change,
But inside we're the same as we ever were.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Living this way, each day is a dream.
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another century nearly gone,
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do,
It's a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another leader says
Break their hearts and break some heads.
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past,
Always lost in blood and guts.
And when they're gone, it's me and you.

Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line

How long until it gets sporty there? My daughter has a class trip scheduled there in the beginning of June.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Um, that would be either 2005 or 2011, depending on how you define "sporty".
And those 2011 riots made Ferguson look like a church social.

There hasn't been an England since Thatcher retired.

The question in my mind, and it may be wishful thinking, at what point does the monarchy say "fuck it," rescind the Magna Carta, hang parliament, rally the Dragoons and Ghurkas and take back Londinsitan?

Also, will it be William, Harry or will the Queen do it? You know it won't be Charles.

I read this initially as dragons. Now I am imagining Prince William riding a dragon into battle against the eastern hordes.
