I think I like this approach. Good job. Chuck! He has a bit of both his mom and dad’s sense of humor.

4. So she fired, prob. Her closest ally, because he did what she wanted

him to do? OK...... Train wreck indeed.

6. The Tories are in real trouble

Despite what our resident expert (who seems to think Starmer is the same as corbyn) from the greater NY area thinks, the Tories would lose badly in a GE election, which looks more probable to happen before January 2025 than it did a week ago.

7. I think Charles would be more comfortable if people talked

to him like he was a somewhat high ranking govt official instead of Royalty.

He doesn't seem to be into the formalities too much. At least when it comes to how people interact with him.

8. I agree.

Maybe his mother was just from another generation or she got used to it, as she ascended to the throne at 25-years-old and was queen for 70 years. . .
