@MicroSFF A very British tale.
@simon_brooke Yes, but also true for Sweden, where I live, so I think it's more universal.
@MicroSFF Yes, probably.
@MicroSFF an attempt was made to have happy people at least
@MicroSFF Hmm - I was unable to read this without thinking about #ScottishIndependence. Her Majesty QE2 used to spend a lot of time in Scotland, not just the London area, I wonder if her son will… or Wales? 🏴👑🏴 ⚔️🏴
@MicroSFF HA-HA! Bitch only ever patrolled the wealthiest city in the country so he never understood the economic disparities through the kingdom!
