@EnochianEntropy @stueytheround
I'd add Cleese to this list 💜
@PurpleDragon @stueytheround I’d keep Cleese a mile away from anything I’d prefer to enjoy.
It’s unfortunate that I love MP so much.
@EnochianEntropy Really? Can I ask why?
@stueytheround
@PurpleDragon He’s really taken a strong stand about keeping British English.
Meaning white.
@PurpleDragon @stueytheround He’s less worse than some others, but…. He’s still a problem.
At least he hates Trump, so I’m good with that.
@PurpleDragon @stueytheround Overall, he’s not… terrible… but the whole thing about London not being an English city anymore and supporting Brexit makes me want to keep him at arm’s length.
@EnochianEntropy well I'm afraid I I'm still going to laugh my ass off at Fawlty Towers
@stueytheround
@PurpleDragon Wait until you find out about Morrisey.
@EnochianEntropy
He's *always* been an arse.
Damnit he built a career on being an arse! 🤣
@stueytheround @PurpleDragon The political spectrum is not a line, but a ring, and sometimes people go so far on one side that the flip to the other side of the ring.
@EnochianEntropy Ah understand. I have a hard enough time keeping track of the shit going on here in the states. Much less overseas. 🫣
@stueytheround
@PurpleDragon Add “English” as another ethnicity I’ve been mistaken for. 😂😂
@EnochianEntropy Oh goodness me yes.
@stueytheround Imagine a colab between Pratchett, Adams and Gaiman, with Wilde popping in there from time to time.
I think they’d solve life.
