King Cnut the Great

King of England, Denmark, Norway, and parts of Sweden. Reigned Annis Domini 1016–1035. “The most effective king in Anglo-Saxon history”. Once and future king.

I encourage everyone to support the "Norway Plus Swords" model as the only lasting solution to #Brexit: I invade Britain with an army of Norwegian mercenaries, retake my ancient throne, and bring an end to all this nonsense.

@UthredTheScribe Do not be concerned; these are chaotic days.

[King Cnut the Great @CanutusRex]

Yes, please draft the proclamation according to our established policy, Uthred. I will make a very brief statement shortly.

In happier news, I understand that M. Liam de Foxe will soon announce new trade agreements with Tír na nÓg, Great Ireland, the Garden of the Hesperides, and The Blessed Isles of the West. #Brexit

@KarlShoemaker4 @UthredTheScribe It depends on your perspective.

[Uthred Uthredsson @UthredTheScribe]

Given the suspicions of certain in holy orders of his faithfulness to right doctrine, especially in matters of fidelity, even I have wondered if trial by water might not be appropriate, My Lord.

[King Cnut the Great @CanutusRex]

I am hearing from sources inside the Althing that today's #MeaningfulVote is likely to fail. Uthred, my scribe, and my private chancery are keeping close track of all developments. @UthredTheScribe

*Politically* speaking. Her many moral sins are between her and her confessor.

[King Cnut the Great @CanutusRex]

It may be un-Christian to say so, but deceit and manipulation can be justified after the fact if they deliver necessary results. Mme de Maie's great sin, politically speaking, is her incompetence. Three years of stumbling around with not a thing to show for it. #Brexit

May’s latest move is the cheapest, shoddiest, shabbiest yet, which is quite saying something given that her whole modus operandi has consisted of deceit, lies, secrecy, manipulation, insults & arrogance

Boris de Pfeffel seems like the sort of man I would not hesitate to order flung into the Thames with a catapult, if you take my meaning. #BorisJohnson

[King Cnut the Great @CanutusRex]

I understand that Lawspeaker Bercow, whom I otherwise admire, has not selected the Viking Party amendment with my “Norway Plus Swords” model for today’s #IndicativeVotes. We are following all developments carefully. #Brexit https://t.co/3Dz6cquHhP

[Uthred Uthredsson @UthredTheScribe]

While being in charge of the chancery I have always aimed to act with political neutrality for the good of the realm, I must agree with my Lord King's wise words on this matter.

[King Cnut the Great @CanutusRex]

I am convinced that Mme Theresa de May must resign, for the good of the country, and if she will not, the Althing must remove her. #MayMustGo #Brexit

[King Cnut the Great @CanutusRex]

You all know that I do not say this lightly: Mme Theresa de May is unfit, on every conceivable level, to be leader of this country. She is a danger to the safety and prosperity of the realm. #Brexit

[BBC Breaking News @BBCBreaking]

Theresa May tells the British public "I'm on your side" and it's "high time" MPs made a decision over Brexit https://t.co/amvzuihqeW

[King Cnut the Great @CanutusRex]

A leader, especially so in a crisis, must possess ability, adroitness, insight, and imagination. Mme de May is in possession of none of these. She decided on one policy three years ago and has stubbornly stuck to it, even after it has proved an abject failure. #Brexit

[King Cnut the Great @CanutusRex]

Dear Mme @Theresa_May: This is how you break the gridlock in the British Althing. Let each #Brexit faction appoint a champion. Land them on some small island and let them fight the holmgang until only one remains. Theirs is the outcome favoured by God and destiny. #MeaningfulVote

Personally I favour the Norway option and I'm looking forward to direct rule from Oslo
