Dematriculate the complaining students. They don’t have the emotional maturity to attend Cambridge. What losers.

I’m not sure where these snowflake think their meat comes from.

The poor, poor dears are actually having their safe spaces violated in a place of learning by an historic painting that shows what the seventeenth century was really like. WHAT A HIDEOUUS ABOMINATION!! OMG!! They might actually learn something. Just imagine what an accurate painting of a seventeenth century battle would do to them. Dropping my sarcasm, I remember junior high and high school history books that had color reproductions of Courier & Ives lithographs showing nineteenth century American life and paintings doing the same for that century and others. I always loved to see them and look at them because of what they showed. Indeed, the C & I lithographs of tornadoes always fascinated me because I wondered if those storms looked that way. Modern storm chaser videos show the old artists got it right.

One day, an army or several will invade Britain and the United Stars and the inhabitants will look up from their technologically induced Never Never Land to agree with their captors having lost their freedom long ago and voluntarily.

Fowl? Pish-posh...How about what Goya painted for his dining room? Saturn devouring his son.

Actually the UK does have a constitution. Not the same as ours, not a single document, but they do have one.

[mewzilla]

No, they don’t. :-)

What they have is a mishmash of acts of Parliament, conventions, and court rulings.

They lack a formal, written constitution that protects the citizenry from its government.

They desperately need one.

[boxlunch]

Well done!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

You can’t make this stuff up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But they still consider all of that precedent protection of their rights. And they refer to it as a constitution.
