Boy King

Over at Blood & Treasure, Jamie’s trying to get a new epithet for David Cameron to fly: Dave the Tea Boy. I’d like to propose one of my own.

Squit the Younger.

Is it me or is the ascendancy of Cameron yet another sign that we’re entering a new Dark Age? Youthful leaders with no experience elevated before their time, rampaging anti-intellectualism, resurgent feudalism and a plague on the horizon: there’s your 10th century vibe right there.

    Surely a responsible blog owner would issue some sort of advisory - “Guaranteed free from deadly viruses”. Until such time I’m going to have to seriously consider a boycott of all Avian Blogs.
