Such is the state of British politics?

As the Count might say himself: why not?

Same reason as always. Someone found it interesting and submitted it. Others found it interesting and up voted it within a period of time.

I just submit things I find interesting and occasionally other people find it interesting too. Usually opposite to what I expected.

Did you not read the article? They are re-writing Count Binface in Rust.

One shot Claude Fable.

It is relevant to the politics of the United Kingdom. Say what you like about the UK, but - oh, hmm, wait a sec. I checked on Wikipedia, and out of 191 countries, the UK is currently 192nd. I also had a quick skim over some of the world history articles, and it turned out this so-called "place" was never mentioned in any of the events described. It's really slightly surprising that this alleged country even exists, even if only in the imagination of the people (if the term even applies) that live there. Looks like nobody so much as cared enough to have them all killed. So, anyway, I suppose you're right. I flagged this article, then I created another account and flagged it again. You should do the same.
