Umm - aside from a place to keep your koi, a moat on three sides does sound a bit less than functional as a defense. Although I must admit I have no idea what’s on the fourth. Perhaps that’s where the cobras hang out?

Oh, that's all right; the front side is protected by the musical Welsh Guards, led by general Stanley Baker.

I can’t decide whether this Boris result is good or bad.

In many countries in Europe, Africa and South America embezzling a few million or billion is one of the perks of being in politics. In the US rape seems to be de rigeur. Then there are countries where genocide is the norm.

But in the UK you use the wrong knife and fork at an official dinner…

I see what Cuch means by saying the UK has gone back to the ‘50s. We’ve got to up our game if we want to be taken seriously.

I think in the UK the royals consume a lot of the public's humor over indiscretions.
