Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty, was convicted under legislation introduced by Thatcher, and was sentenced under guidance brought in under Boris Johnson.
But I guess that's not enough to stop someone cashing in on the right wing sympathy circuit thanks to the fine brains at the Telegraph.

#chesspunks Which site do you think they are playing on?
![4-panel comic. (1) [Person 2 with white hat stands behind Person 1 who is seated at desk with laptop] PERSON 1: I’m ranked 7,145,000th globally on this chess platform. It’s hard to be ranked that low in *any* activity. (2) PERSON 1: Few pastimes even *have* 7 million rated players. Until the internet, it wasn’t really possible. You could be this bad, but only unofficially. (3) PERSON 1: So in a sense, I’m worse at chess than anyone was at *anything* for most of human history. PERSON 2: Why are you still doing it? (4) PERSON 1: Well, no human has ever had this many friends to play with. PERSON 2: That person is calling you some very obscene names. PERSON 1: Our friendship is complicated.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreibttiz6nmqpook66kcfxofvchkxnjfuc3n5gthpsjnj6wyhmnz27q@jpeg)

This his exactly how I feel, apart from the My Ratings Are Up bit
"My ratings are up because I haven’t given myself the chance to let them fall. I make excuses to not play the games because I’m “tired”, ignoring the fact that “tired” is my default state of being"

It's called "Foods That Start With the Letter Q".
Read it.
