How about this priest they arrested for attending a pro-Palesitian protest?
Not a uk citizen but i wanna say shopping trolley in the canal
Me neither, but that just provides us with an objective look at what's clearly best, free of encumbering sentiment.

On the back, a painting of an obese King Charles furiously masturbating to child pornography while an anti-genocide protester is chained naked in the same bed. That's the truest representation of the UK I can think of right now.
Chicken Tikka Masala for the win!
Paddington, and David Tennant as Doctor Who.
David Tennant as paddington might be more fun.
Paddington as Dr Who could breathe new life into the franchise
How about renditions of the movie Threads? That seems the most optimistic projection for the UK's future on its current path.
