Week in the UK. Good or bad

 On Friday, it occurred that despite numerous reports about preparations to the Coronation, British support for the monarchy is at an all time low, according to the pre-Coronation poll .  Redditors were merciless. "That's probably because they're a pointless throwback to when people were physiologically conditioned to believe the paedos were a benefit instead of the blight they actually are." "I used to respect the queen, just about, until I found out about her covering up for that nonce Andrew. Now I hope she burns in hell." "The media puff pieces on Charles have been incredible lately. No doubt the palace spends a LOT on PR." "I always thought I was a monarchist but really I just respected Liz. It should have died with her." "We're being told to stop moaning about being poorer, at the same time we're supposed to cheer and wave at billionaires in gold carriages..." Not only the RF have been losing their popularity. ...

But he quickly admitted that when it came to these issues of protecting women's rights, women's spaces, he thought the issue of biological sex has been fundamentally important when we thought about those questions. British redditors saw pre-election PR in this pseudo funny question. "To think this is what a pm is being asked in 2023 compared to all the countries and world problems." "Making people terrified of and angry at trans people is the easier way to gain votes for the next election, hence the conservative focus on it. Talking about housing, the NHS and the economy won’t work, and immigration isn’t going to work unless results are seen, so trying ...
