I presumed Bobby wasn’t there because he died before his mother - and it was her rage and anger that subsequently bound everyone there.

I know this might sound a bit weird... but I’d quite like to go to prison for 14 day? I’d like to get a gritty understanding of how it all works.

Your few paragraphs so succinctly summarize not only Trump, but also how America is currently viewed by a lot of the world because of him: lying and shirking responsibility.

I think President Unmatched Wisdom wanted the confrontation in order to force the parents to back down: Mrs. Diplomat cries and begs forgiveness and the parents feel forced to give it because the eyes of the world are now upon them and will think they are dicks if they don’t do the “noble” thing.

My phone autocorrected Highclere to Highclare, and I have no idea why as they’re both nonsense words...😂

I was very much hoping it would collapse at the end, leaping forward into what these places now are: wedding hosting venues for the middle-middle pretending to be upper-middle, away-day horror weekends for minor companies, and AirBnBs weekend getaways.

Biscuits. Mainly biscuits.

I hope they’ve actually written a 10 episode arc. Surely they’ve learnt by this point?

This is... superb.

Yes, but a primary can be done without ripping anyone down - that’s all just fodder for the ads in the general.

I don’t know if it’s the eerie uniformity of her make-up, or the shape of her jawline, or the lack of natural lines and ridges, but she’s increasingly looking like Marlon Wayans in White Chicks, like she’s wearing someone else’s skinned face.
