They are introducing conscription after all.

But it'll be a Mums and Dads Army - retirement age reverts to 65, but then you have to do 3 years national service

King Charles to abdicate? Alien invasion?

Is the cat alright?

That would be worthy of a press conference if he isn't.

He's bought some longer trousers that fit and wants to show them off.

It's going to be something really disappointing isn't it?

AnEmbarrasmentofWitches · 01/03/2024 17:40

This feels less slick than others.

IncompleteSenten · 01/03/2024 17:40

Something to do with Gaza and Israel I'd guess.

He's going to be in the dark soon.
