It’s times like these when I struggle to understand why Great Britain continues to, well, exist. Great Britain is the last multi-ethnic nation is Europe and, lulz, still has a monarchy to boot.
It would make a lot of sense to do away with the royal family, break the country up and maybe start thinking about making England the 51st state of the United States. There is so much untapped potential in the component parts of the UK that would be unlocked through its dissolution.
That is all very, very fantastical and fanciful, but stranger things have happened. Of course, the way things are going, the USA is going to be too busy either becoming an autocracy or imploding into civil war to worry about taking a newly republic England into the fold.
But let’s get to the point — what the fuck is going on with the royal family these days? The latest kerfuffle is the “Prince of Pegging” scandal. I knew the limies were freaks in the sack, but having an heir to the throne into pegging with someone other than his wife is enough to make your eyes bug out of your head.
It does make you wonder, however, how the US press would handle such an accusation against a fictional JFK-like modern president. What would happen — unless there was absolute proof — is what’s going on in the UK right now. Twitter would talk about it like crazy but, over all, the mainstream press wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot poll.
It happened — at first, at least — with the Clinton scandal’s “Blue Dress” and it’s happening here with what’s going on in Great Britain. Anyway, for the time being, it’s all a lulz. So what?
It’s a summer nadir diversion for people on Twitter. Let’s just hope the Queen doesn’t keel over unexpectedly in the next few days.
