In A Quantum of Solace the villain gains a monopoly on water and uses it to jack up prices. The British government sends James Bond to kill him. Have we considered this option?

One of Trump's best lines was when he was asked what he would do to make golf more "accessible" to "non-traditional golfers" and he said "nothing" because golf should be an "aspirational sport"

The Barstoolification of golf, where slovenly guys in flatbills act like children on the course, has been a disaster for it. The same is true of everything made more "accessible"; some things should be aspirational. They should be walled gardens where dignified behavior is not just expected but demanded, and the cost of breaching that code of gentility is exclusion

Shrink golf substantially. Growing the game has ruined it

On 12th July, 927AD, King Æthelstan secured control over the last Viking kingdom of Northumbria and united the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms under one ruler, becoming the first King of a united England.

Terrible day for Norway.

An injury didn’t end Serena’s comeback. Her ugly ego did. At 44, after 4 years of doing nothing, she thought she could stroll back onto Centre Court, train for 2 weeks, and beat players in their 20s who grind every day. Shame on the All England Club for indulging the circus.

No.

1. You can't change the constitution by some words in the sovereign grant

2. He is Defender of the Faith and Head of the Church of England. Those are his obligations. His duty.

A King who will not do his duty is no King.
