I hate strawmen.

Disclaimer: not really The King

  • It's an android phone with a keyboard

  • I'd say so to some extent

  • The statistics were showing 20-30% in some regions of the UK. That's a minority, but definitely not fringe

  • I think I've established anyway that pro-life isn't some fringe kookie position

  • Usually there's a pretty significant overlap when it comes to nutjobs

  • A couple of a percent isn't 20%

  • I don't think 20% of people are racists or nazis

  • Guess I'll just have to use ddgo, then ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  • Had a flick through that, it seems the 6% are on the extreme of "under no circumstances". It shows around 1/3rd of people believe the current 24 week limit is too late.

    For example, I would consider myself "anti abortion" but I believe it should be an option in cases of rape, serious risk to mother's life or a very definite fatal foetal abnormality. I'm not in favour of investigating/witchhunting/prosecuting people who get abortions despite that, though.

    I don't know what "Assad levels of support" is or how that's relevant.

    If you look at another study, it shows opposition at 40%

  • 20% isn't irredeemable nutjob at all

  • Anti-abortion positions have been in mainstream political debate here forever. It wasn't even legalised nationwide before 2020. I don't think there ever really has been a time when anti-abortion positions were fringe, and I doubt there ever truly ever will be. It's not like same-sex marriage and divorce where it'll kinda just become the norm.

  • I think it's possible to allow google search bots but not Gemini bots?

  • BALDY BALDY OVER THERE, WHAT'S IT LIKE TO HAVE NO HAIR? IS IT HOT OR IS IT COLD? I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I'M NOT- seagull noise, followed by a splatter

  • Throughout most of British history, the King's consort has been referred to simply as Queen. The term was only really used during the period between the Ascension and the Coronation to avoid confusion with Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

    "Queen Mother" is also another title as they retain their stylings, so I guess you might differentiate between a Queen Consort and a Queen Mother then. Fun fact: When Elizabeth II ascended to the Throne, Queen Mary of Teck was still alive and so was Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. So there were three Queens.

    I wonder what Queen Camilla's title will be if His Majesty passes before she does. My bets would be on Queen Dowager ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Edit: seems my bets are right after a quick google. Mary of Teck could have actually been briefly Queen Dowager, but she just rather stuck with simply "Queen Mary".
