    I assume this is Northern Ireland, so obviously this isn’t so much a ‘we love the King’ mural as a ‘this is a unionist area’ mural.

    This is probably better than a picture of a man in a mask and a UDA flag.

    Growing up in the 80s and knowing the context, this doesn’t seem like the worst possible time line for Northern Ireland.

        Prescriptions are free, we have no water bills either. The crime rates aren’t really that high, the violence stuff basically only happens if you get involved. This may seem a weird thing to say but paramilitaries are generally not as bad as smaller gangs in some parts of the world, and they’re easily avoidable if you don’t mess with them (Although if you’re English you are better living in a Unionist area, Irish people would be better in the Nationalist areas). It’s actually not a bad place to live!

    I think it’s more of a thing that someone realised they accidentally time traveled or had a coma. Charles III was basically inevitable.
