You'll notice part 4. of the Universal Credit Wiki entry titled 'Criticism' is subdivided into 17 parts.

It doesn't have much to do with it beyond the automatic assumption that 'liberal' means the same thing to people outside the US as it does in the US - which is excusable but not when married to a sneery post which displays a complete ignorance of the person it's aimed at.

when I see blether about Star Wars or Royals I go into a narcoleptic coma within microseconds. Genuinely hope they all die in car crashes though, including abortion bucket Yoda.

if it's any consolation, calz, all the star warses happened a long time ago so every single one of them has been dead for hundreds if not thousands of years
alas the royals are still alive, right enough, thanks to regular infusions of adrenochrome and child blood
