Sychophantic reporting by the #BBC on the "Queen" being presented with a roll of cling film and being made a Vice Admiral. There is no place in today's world for this nonsense. #NotMyKing

FFS! I had missed this. It is just so embarrassing that we not only still tolerate the existence of a parasitic monarchy, but that so many in this country still grovel before them.

It also begs the question as to how poorly maintained our aging nuclear submarines are that they have to be repaired by cling film. The narrative suggests it's all part of jolly old British ingenuity but we're talking about a fecking nuclear reactor powering the engines here.

100%! And £BNs of tax payers' money squandered on them in the first place.

One could also surmise that the visit to the children's hospice was somehow less newsworthy or spurious.

Is that not the submarine that ran aground on the Isle of Skye a few years back? I don't know what the opposite of nominative determinism is, but HMS fucking Astute fits the bill.
