any one of the list would have made a better PM than any of the lot we've had since 2010. That's not the highest bar.

Esther Rantzen - 83yo (also has terminal cancer) Also wants to go to Dignitas. I do agree with angrysaveruk though, any one of the list would have made a better PM than any of the lot we've had since 2010. Are you certain you don't mean 1990?

I would say it should be someone who is not heavily political and widely respected by the public, have an above average IQ and cannot be blackmailed easily. I personally would like to see Sir David Frederick Attenborough or Sir Michael Caine or someone of that caliber David Attenborough - 97yo Michael Caine - 91yo Next? Esther Rantzen - 83yo (also has terminal cancer) Trevor McDonald - 84yo I think the age of these individuals would be a bonus to people who consider themselves "royalists" - they do not want to have to bow and curtsy to some "young upstart"

They are far too old. The most best and most popularly appealing candidate to replace the King is Jürgen Klopp.

The most best and most popularly appealing candidate to replace the King is Jürgen Klopp. Let's assume eligibility is the same as standing for Westminster... www.parliament.uk/about/mps-and-lords/members/electing-mps/candidates/"To stand as a candidate in a UK Parliamentary General Election you need to be at least 18 years old and:
* a British citizen
* a citizen of the Republic of Ireland
* a citizen of a commonwealth country who does not require leave to enter or remain in the UK, or has indefinite leave to remain in the UK"Germany, as far as I'm aware, hasn't joined the Commonwealth yet.

But there are minimal consequences for rule-breaking in Westminster as you well know. So Jürgen it is. King Klopp has a nice ring to it too...

The most best and most popularly appealing candidate to replace the King is Jürgen Klopp. I suppose at least it would be keeping the German lineage. Not sure there is really much point changing the status quo in truth, they are mostly harmless and it really does seem a somewhat boring job (Pretty impressive perks aside)

That’s how we used to change the monarchical house in the past. I’m thinking that with his tactical skills and career of planning attacks, Klopp could quickly organise an effective force that could rout whatever beefeaters are defending the House of Windsor. I’m sure he’d pick up popular support as he moved south, like the ‘civil war reenactment sponsored by Schnorr Schnapps’ episode of South Park. (The Confederate side drank a lot of the schnapps, refused to lose and started to March on Washington).

Police have obviously got all crime including burglary and violent crime fully under control so they are devoting time to decide if filming in a public place might be a crime in some circumstances. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-68826423 |
