As Chesterton says, anything worth doing is worth doing badly.

My favorite bit is from 7:26 to 9:45 of the the eighteen-minute edited version (starting here), ending with the very dry Britney Spears reference.

It could have gone worse, though.

Shows you how we built the British Empire.

Bill Carpenter 02-21-2021 02:48 PM

And why the American colonies rebelled.

That’s a cracker, Julie. I do think the English do this sort of thing exceptionally well (ie badly).

My eldest sent me this, knowing it would tickle me. Now, whenever I try to tell her anything she says, "You have no authority here, Jackie Weaver!!"

Speaking as a local (but not a parish) councillor, I'm inclined though to agree with the chairman that Jackie Weaver has no authority here.
