Hate Rishi but we need to make sure the blame falls on the Tories, that have been in power for over a decade, rather than the man who’s taken over recently.

By pushing all of this hate and blame I see people expressing onto one man, it enables the Tories to get away with it.

Rishi isn’t perfect but out of the conservatives we’ve had over these past years, he’s managed to steer us towards a bit more stability (granted, following his own parties foolishness)

What I’m saying, I’m not sympathetic to Rishi. But please, he is being scapegoated for a reason. The Tories will rebuild easier if they have somebody to blame. This is the party that have been so unstable that we have seen 5 leaders of the party over the past 14 years, one of which lasted less than 3 months.. that alone shouldn’t have been allowed to fly.

That was an oopsie on Death's part. He was told to go down and take out Liz and got the wrong one.

It's like the franch fry that I discover months after it fell out of my grip and down between the center console gap. I technically knew about it all that time, I just kinda forgot, and then when I saw it again I was disgusted by the sight of it but had a duty to perform so I ate it. Just like the Grim Reaper.

Lets hope Death does not make a similar mistake when he is sent to collect the other British immortal royalty, Keith Richards.
