@leighms I don’t think you understand how protests work.

Or you do and you’re being willfully obtuse, Mr. proud former Home Office guy. Either way, the Tories thank you for your service. Enjoy living in the autocracy you’re helping legitimise. You reap what you sow.

Goodbye.

Is democracy in Britain like biscuits? Not what an American expects?

@RnDanger I don’t think democracy in the US is any yardstick either.

To be fair, democracy in America isn't what I expect at this point either. Fair point. But we still use yardsticks for what that's worth

The moment when you are arrested for complaining about living in a monarchy is the self-same moment you are living in a dictatorship.

Lucius Tarquinius Superbus knew all about that.

@aral and the notion of a British democracy continues to be laughable

@aral It's times like these when I think back and laugh at the brits who call us Americans backwards for having a constitution that allows hate speech.

There's a reason behind that, guys.

@aral this seems to suggest that there can be a democracy where there is monarchy.
