Re: Scrapping the monarchy
Begin this joke. What is asked/said to Maia, and by whom, to solicit this response?
Maia's reply:
"I don't think that would be necessary because i wouldn't be looking forward to it."

He should hear some of the jokes that blind people tell each other. He'd never be ashamed or embarrassed again at his own.accelafine wrote: ↑Tue Jul 15, 2025 7:21 pm 'Damning with faint praise'. Poor man. The woman's a genius![]()

Uh, start here: https://dubistblind.de/blind-jokes/
"In 2018, I was searching for jokes about blindness. More by accident than design, this resulted in what is perhaps the most comprehensive collection of its kind on the web. I collected the jokes from various websites, sorted them, translated some and revised many. You can find more blindness related jokes in German language here. I am blind myself." — @PerBusch (on Mastodon)

Possible contexts. She's traveling in something... taxi, airplane... where something in it would be forward facing. Ah, i got it!

Long time no see? I hear that. Still, every once in a while I see you in my dreams.
At least I think it's you.

Here's the one who got the MBE

As for "Sir Sadiq" he is well known for blocking any rape gang enquiry in London which is why there are no officially recorded instances of it there, which does, of course, beggar belief.

Re: Scrapping the monarchy
As an American what does the British monarchy have to do with you? Europe (NOT the US) has been flooded with the worst that islam has to offer, thanks to your own country's devastating effect on the planet with its ongoing love affair with the arms industry and planet-bullying.Martin Peter Clarke wrote: ↑Sun Aug 03, 2025 2:53 pmYep.

Re: Scrapping the monarchy
As somebody from the US, the British monarchy has nothing to do with me (Canadians might object if I used American).accelafine wrote: ↑Sun Aug 03, 2025 9:24 pm As an American what does the British monarchy have to do with you?

But I somehow recall that Europe has had an "immigration" problem for quite a while. Some of my ancestors forced their way into Europe in the 9th Century and took over what's now Hungary. Other earlier waves took down Rome, which had a scare hundreds of years before that when Brennus brought Celts through. But of course the Romans themselves claimed to be refugees from Troy. Guess that proved too much for the Etruscans. Maybe the Basques and the Sami not immigrants, but pretty much all the rest of you are.
So apparently the US not the general cause. We humans have pretty much always been doing this.
For those of you who want to bring in religion, what ends up in English as "stranger in the land" means "refugee" (they had those back then too)

Re: Scrapping the monarchy
Perhaps we should have learnt something by now? Humans move around. That's what humans do. Humans have evolved to object and protect.
