Problem is, Jenrick, you can go on #r4today and bemoan the state of the economy and the cost of living, you can claim to be oh so concerned… but we all know you’re full of shit. We know you don’t care. You spent years failing us as a Tory. You’ve swapped rosettes, not had a personality transplant.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
