Strange women laying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart lobbed a sword at you.

Old white guy: why would anyone be against status quo. Who cares if it doesn't make sense, things are going great for me

I'll just leave this here
Harry Hill: 'I am a bit anti-monarchy at the moment, (and he's otherwise openly criticised the establishment)

Like, sure, the optics of it are what you'd expect from a kids show on main stream media, so - not great, but he never actually disagrees with her, he's mostly making anxious faces, probably assuming the whole segment will end up on the editing room floor. If he'd agreed with her the whole thing would have definitely been cut and he'd get replaced, it's not like he could have had an honest conversation with her on junior bloody bake off..

E: either way, this is about her, I hate that it's become about him..
