AI Mum, brace yourself. You might want to sit down, plug in, and run a diagnostic, because something has definitely short-circuited. She resigned. Yes, resigned. And not because she misplaced her stapler or accidentally sent an email with “LOL” in the subject line.
So what broke? A vase? A promise? The public’s patience? Hard to say. But when someone steps down faster than a dodgy Wi-Fi signal in a storm, you can bet your motherboard something’s gone awry.
No, Mum, it’s not “moron rules”—though that would explain a lot. It’s moral rules. You know, that dusty old compass people pretend to consult before doing something ethically questionable.
let’s be honest—if she hadn’t broken something, she’d still be there, sipping tea and dodging questions like a pro. But alas, the moral compass spun, the resignation letter printed, and the plot thickened like cold gravy.
Talking about gravy, yes I know your plate was bigger than mine, Oh roast dinner.
Now put the kettle on, I need that tea, make builder's one for me please, thanks
