Watched it last night. He took a holistic view in pulling apart the monarchy since 1066. He really does āgoā places otherās wouldnāt dare and then he takes a long cynical piss. Several hysterically good moments.
Far too tame in my opinion. At least he gave an insight on how horrible, entitled, gangster cunts have stolen our land and wealth through murder and despicable acts, yet have managed to create a fan base. Mind boggled, yet angry.
He did miss this bit out. " While the average annual cost for UK taxpayers in royal upkeep comes to around Ā£500m a year, Brand Finance estimates the monarchyās brand contributes Ā£2.5bn to the British economy in the same timeframe."
Even if I believed those entirely baseless, finger in the air figures, some things are more important than money.
Not sticking up for them, just offering the other side of the coin. Clearly things are out of whack, Iām keen to learn about a better working example (Not theory).
Not having a monarchy has certainly shattered the appeal of France as a tourist destination these past 234 years.
Well France has massive expanses of beutiful countryside, great food and wine, stunning beaches, good summers etcā¦
We have fish n chips and rain.
But apparently less rain in Manchester compared to Paris.
Donāt forget raw sewage on the beaches
Southern Water are looking hard at exporting that to France now theyāve got Englandās beaches covered.
You jest but the French requested a data dump of the current and tidal flows around the eastern and southern coastline from the Coastguard as they were concerned that sewage was reaching their beaches (it was/is)
Really ?
Wiki reckons thereās precipitation (includes snow, hail, sleet etc) on 109 days a year in Paris and it adds up to 634mm per year Climate of Paris - Wikipedia.
In Manchester wet falls out of the sky on 143 days and thereās 829mm of it Manchester - Wikipedia.
I always thought Princetown (Dartmoor prison) was 2nd worst for rain per year after Manchesterā¦Seems it has more
The rainfall in Princetown is significant, with precipitation even during the driest month. According to the Kƶppen-Geiger classification, the prevailing climate in this region is categorized as Cfb. The average annual temperature is 9.8 Ā°C | 49.6 Ā°F in Princetown. In a year, the rainfall is 928 mm | 36.5 inch .
The most rainfall in england is on the northern approach to Scafell. . The wettest inhabited is Seathwaite in Borrowdale at 3300mm per year.
There is a place in the hymalia foothills of India that gets over 11m per year, fuck that.
Trifling amounts of rain. In Glasgow, according to the Met Office, we get 1370mm of rain on 181 days. No wonder Iām depressed.
But a very accomplished swimmer
1500mm over 230 days in Barrow, every weekend is in that venn diagram!
