    The moment someone starts going all “anti-woke” you know they’ve got something to hide and they are trying to get acquainted with the pardon-dealing industry.

      Yeah. Forcing himself on women was entirely consistent with his public persona, but shifting hard right just to seek cover makes it so much scummier.

      Pardon dealing industry? In the UK?

      I’m pretty sure only 4 pardons have been given in the last 25 years. 1 was posthumous (Turing) and the other 3 were given to convicts who saved people’s lives while incarcerated.

      I don’t think being anti-woke is going to help anyone get a pardon in the UK.

      I do think it’s a grift, just not convinced it’s a grift for a Royal Prerogative of Mercy.
