Steady on. 

 

I don't know much about her background, but I'm reasonably sure it's not a tale of striving against her deprived background to lift herself up by her bootstraps.

Didn't someone do Harry's A Levels for him? Amazing.

FWIW I neither know nor care whether any individual royal or aristo is clever or thick.  I hate the game, not the players.

All the cool kids got a third, especially those that spent eight hours on their dissertation and didn't go in for an entire year. 

 

Well, you just described me.

 

In fairness 17 was too young to go to university. An extra year makes a big difference at that age.

I'm not saying any of this makes her some kind of genius, but "thick as fuck" is surely over the top.

As someone who has returned to Uni as a mature student I wouldn't place any stock whatsoever in anyone having a degree acquired in recent years. 

 

It's piss easy to get a 2:1 with a tiny bit of effort. I'm having to actually lower the quality of my work because I get told I've gone to in depth on my work when I feel like I am barely doing anything.

 

They are monetised and ranked on how many degrees they churn out, nothing but diplomas mills.

 

One of the few lecturers who will actually acknowledge that the degree is a pile of shite when I was complaining that it didn't feel like I was doing anything, was suggesting I go to Oxford for a Masters. This is a guy who used to actually design rockets for a living and he reckons I am Oxford material. However, I can assure you that I mostly feel thick as fuck all day every day when I am working through my stuff.

As I keep saying with this shit, I wouldn't mind if the people spouting this shite were actually patriotic. I reckon Theresa May was, in her own head. She curtsied to the Queen but you could tell she meant it, her England was one of royals, the proms etc - I think this is why she clearly despised Corbyn, as he was essentially the exact opposite, had no time for the royals, the establishment and the rest. I think Major and Thatcher were the same as May. 

 

Cameron though, Osborne and these clowns - different breed. They care nothing for Britain and its institutions, they'd sell every last scrap of it to anyone, at any time. More fool anyone who falls for this shit.

Strangely enough May didn't actually seem to dislike Corbyn personally and once said something along the lines of her disagreeing with practically every one of his views but that he had always been a perfect gentlemen in any of their previous dealings. I can't decide whether this is a plus or minus for Jezza.

Every time I read a story about the Queen I find it heartwarming, like drinking a nice warm mug of milk and honey..

Not a lot but apparently her, Charles and dear old Phil the Greek are/were as tight as a ducks arse and her money men are only too willing to please.

More evidence that the Monarchy isn't just a quaint and harmless bit of fun for tourists.  Democracy in this country  shitty enough as it is; stopping these inbred cunts from interfering would be a step in the right direction. 

 

Whenever you talk about abolishing the Monarchy, the first response is "what would you replace them with?"  How about "nothing"?  How about having a system where nobody is allowed to secretly hamper or divert the actions of democratically elected representatives?

Someone was mentioning good journalists the other day, they're few and far between in this country but Cricks normally very good...

 

As for our Liz and Scotlands Nicola, also where's Scottish Labour on this?

In fairness to Brenda, it's not even a case of being subject to the laws: she can say "yes, the law and its exemptions apply to everyone".   The problem is that the Monarch gets to interfere in the making of the law. That feudal shit needs binning.

I’m sure the media will think of something to divert attention away from it

I see the Palace have sanctioned a Dan Wooten interview with Megan’s dad. I’m sure we are all shocked by this turn of events.
