I mean, he wants to be a king. A king doesn’t need his subordinates to have a voice.

True, if anything he somehow would have dragged everything out until he was bed-ridden at which point he would have gotten house arrest which is laughable considering the size of his mansions.

It’s like the “Boy Who Cried Wolf” story, but with a twist: instead of the boy shouting about wolves, the wolves disguise themselves as townsfolk and keep shouting “wolf” so often that no one takes it seriously anymore. So when the boy finally cries out for help, no one listens.

Asking “Can I call you Brian, or do you prefer Cox” with a straight face is peak British comedy.

It won’t be long before we lose access to good, free healthcare, safe and affordable education, and all the other qualities of life we’ve enjoyed for so long
