@aral she’s still a big reason why the UK is always in the top 10 for soft power globally though... -
@lurkmoophy@aral what’s soft power? -
-
@lurkmoophy@seb_ly Usually by the means to effectively communicate the threat of economic or military force :)

@aral The more I see Charles attempting to dick around in politics, the less I like him/Royals, but the Queen’s been all right. -
@CraigGrannell@aral As far as we know. I’m against unelected positions of influence, even if the someone appears benign. -
@alstonebridge@aral I am in principle. And then I see Boris. And then I look at the US. A British president would be another layer of crap. -
@CraigGrannell@aral I’d rather have that than an establishment that can just kick back and carry on. -
@alstonebridge@aral In which case you want far more reform than that. Civil service runs the country. MPs elected by FPTP.
