Birds of a feather die together would be my tabloid headline.

Daddy stopped sending money so they killed themselves?
Am I missing something?

I'm more puzzled about the headline, the 'surrender monkeys'. Some seem to have forgotten that nearly a thousand years ago a handful of French invaded and conquered the British Isles making fools of Angles, Saxons, Danes and Vikings. It's only when a few French on the Isle started to fight with their relatives on the Mainland that animosity grew. Finding themselves on the losing side the French even repositioned themselves as locals, decent Anglo-Saxon folk and went so far as to drop using French but instead mold the natives speech around their tongue. What with by now British the class system suggests the descendants of the French still run the roost.  |

Technically speaking its the hun that rules the roost in the UK You mean the relatives of rubl's leader who share common ancestors in some cases more than once. |

The no-longer-absolutely-ruling-classes are one big family, what's left of it that is. Somehow they're also no longer called leaders, although there's still a sense of 'noblesse oblige'. That's certainly more than one can say about 'elected' politicians. |
