@mrjamesob.bsky.social serving in HM Forces is made more paletable by swearing allegiance to the Crown - I could never have sworn allegiance to a Trump-figure! It is symbolic of keeping power in check (surprisingly) - there would technically be someone above a Trump figure if we ever have our own...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social they have to serve in the military whether they like it or not, they have to meet and be nice to hideous heads-of-state and must honour them regardless of their own thoughts - and they can't leave even if they want to (see Harry). Slavery is alive, just in a VERY guilded cage

Hey Trump, try not invent stupid words when trying to cover up you have dementia

Working in a university careers service I am always amazed at how few PhD students come through the doors. If they are relying on their supervisory team to give career guidance then they will potentially struggle, but the Careers Service is likely to provide all the support needed!
