Don't worry, they skip over *that scene* and edit the nudity.

Accepted!

[Len Ikari145]

Accepted!

Just one warning: Goblin Slayer is *far* more batshit than he already is in canon.

\Less than 4 months before our country falls of a cliff chasing a balloon full of poison gas that smells of rainbows, we decided today to find our government (which in one form or another has existed since the 13th century) in contempt of parliament for the first time in its 800 years of history.

Several of us tutted loudly, and shook our heads a little. That’s British for ‘outrage’.

So wait, if Parliament is who they are contemptuous of, who are they je accusing? The Queen?

(this isn't a joke, I really don't know much about British Government and thought that for the most part Parliament was the branch that was running things)

Being found in contempt of parliament means that you've been determined by parliament to be acting in a manner that's unacceptable. In this case because the reigning government refused to disclose the legal advice it received for Theresa May's Brexit deal, despite parliament having voted that they should.

Putting it another way this is what happened:

Reigning Government (RG): "We have signed this deal.
Parliament (P): "Explain the logic behind it."
RG: "Nuh-uh, we're in charge."
P: "You'll find that the constitution disagrees."
RG: "Well, this is a bit of trouble for us."

[The MunchKING]

OK, so who is the "Reigning Government" I guess is what I'm asking.

[The Chou Lives]

OK, so who is the "Reigning Government" I guess is what I'm asking.

I believe Prime Minister?

Because the Royals are more figure heads than anything. With P like American senate? And Prine Minister as pseudo president?

[Siriel]

OK, so who is the "Reigning Government" I guess is what I'm asking.

Theresa May's Conservative Party, which is the party that currently holds the most seats at parliament but not a majority of the seats.

AH, OK. Yeah, that does sound like "political shambles" to me.

[Beadle]

^ This, basically, although it’s even slightly more fuzzy than that in that many Conservatives now don’t consider themselves part of ‘The Government’ in regards to Brexit, and voted against her.

Just assume it’s the Prime Minister, her cabinet, and some of those involved in setting government policy.

It’s not a clear-cut answer, but it’s about the best we can do.

[Guy1]

Seriously though, is it just me or would Goblin Slayer and Spider-Man get along great? They can bond over their hate of Goblins.

.... and then you sit on your bum back to Sweden.

It’s a real multi-purpose word.

Yes, and if anything goes wrong with my flight and I miss everything then I will be bummed.

No worries man, which cinema are you going to out of interest?

It is called Vue Westfield London, and I think it's in the Westfield shopping centre.

The movie is screening at a bunch of cinemas, this was the screening that worked the best for my schedule.

That would certainly feel like you’d hit a bum note for your visit.

You’re going to Westfield in one of the last shopping weekends before Christmas?

I wish you luck!

And which Westfield is it? Shepherd’s Bush or Stratford?

I assume the former, and if so, try and find the pretzel stand. Sweet pretzel sticks (which is actually much more like doughnuts or some such) with sugar and cinnamon. It’s a win.

Yeah, especially since it's too far to bum a ride there from Sweden.

Large crowds?

I can deal with large crowds.

It mostly involves letting out my hatred for the large crowd in sputters.

And which Westfield is it? Shepherd’s Bush or Stratford?

Sheperd's Bush.

I assume the former, and if so, try and find the pretzel stand. Sweet pretzel sticks (which is actually much more like doughnuts or some such) with sugar and cinnamon. It’s a win.

Thanks for the tip. Making a note of it.

With the way UK politics has been for the last couple of years, I’m reminded of a line from the Goon show on the radio in the 1950s.

“Please believe me - I’m not a spy! I come here seeking political asylum!”
“Well, take the first bus to the House of Commons. It’s the finest political asylum in the world!”
