European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020. Queen Elizabeth II is no longer queen - the UK Parliament did take over. They also signed a document which enables EU to take over UK, Australia, NZ and all other Commonwealth countries by mid Dec 2020

Here we go boys fuck the queen

They're intelligent. Teach them some games. Like catching food in mid-air.

Wonderful to see that you are giving far more coverage to bored ravens than Gaza civilians being bombed for the tenth night in a row now.

Tower Ravens’ wings are clipped so they’d have to hop away. Tourists are not encouraged to feed or go near them. Am I supposed to believe this is a real concern or newsworthy? Has even one raven actually “strayed’ past the gates

With that destructive showgirl MeghanMarkle doing everything she can to smear the Royal Family, the ravens may have picked up the vibe. If the 'Archie' lie comes out, they are all in deep trouble. richardaeden

Ravens reading this story:

Is there not a superstition that says if the Ravens leave the tower of london, then the monarchy will end?

Where’s Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling when they need something to keep them occupied.

Only remoaners believe this Tower of London ravens toweroflondon nonsense

I’m bored too so this bugs me. These ravens get special digs, all sorts of favours and treats and when things get a little dull they fly off? Entitled beggars. Good riddance.

Heads up, the Monarchy has already crumbled - it's been Markled.

Their wings are clipped so that they can’t fly - how are they leaving? Hopping out of the front gate?

No coincidence that this happened after Harry & Meghan left.

shithorsewomen this reminded me of you ❤️

croaking call and diet of carrion, the raven is often associated with loss and ill omen. Yet its symbolism is complex. As a talking bird, the raven also represents prophecy and insight. ... As a carrion bird, ravens became associated with the dead and with lost souls.~

jennylinford Erm, ? Christopher Skaife is not 'a' ravenmaster. He is THE ravenmaster.

Simple. Clip their wings!

Looks like we're expanding our target audience... 🪶 🪶

We were there yesterday and this chap/chapess was still very much interested in tourists and their packed lunches.

ravenmaster1 I thought they had their wings clipped so they don’t leave?

they have their wings clipped , they can't fly very far ..

'To the Tower & to the Ravens And the tale which hopes they'll never leave What if they should go We always dread to think of them'

Maybe they just need their batteries changed.

The ravens when the tourist number fell

Bored Journalists Straying Away From Newsworthy Stories.

You gotta put a fresh severed cow head out there. That'll keep em busy

A city of eight million people...should be able to support itself..but no Kahn's chased out the motorists, the 'old' Londoners and the workers what's left seems to be on its knees already. Tourism will return, eventually but the workforce that he has made life so difficult for 🤷🏼‍♂️

Fly away? Your reporter forgot to mention the birds are reared from chicks at the tower by a raven master, have their wings trimmed so they can't fly away, live in a cage at night and fed really well every day. Nice to see you really do your research before writing articles!😆

Silly question. Could the beefeaters not feed them maybe?

Maybe entertain them with public hangings.

Well I guess they reliese we don't need them to shit on us from a great height, we have Boris and Co to do that now

Hannah_Chutzpah Huh. I went to the Tower partly to see the ravens. Who knew they were there to see me?

Overheard muttering “Nevermore” as they stomped through the gate...

I heard about the Raven a few years ago! I didn’t know they clipped the wings! They Seem desperate to hold on to the myth! 2 down 4 To go 🥳

there are 6 that have had their wings cropped to stop them flying away. its a bit fast and lose with the whole thing but there you go.

I enjoyed the bit about the raven master what a job !

Ravexit means ravexit, get it done

Have they not knocked it down yet considering it is a centre of murdering and persecution crime of decades Make good dock rubble for tsunami? protection rip rap

Brân the Blessed's Talking Head will save you !

Hope for UK and end to RoyalFamily

Can they take the royal family with them?

Even the ravens from TowerOfLondon are suffering Lockdown fatigue.

It seems as if more is crumbling away at the moment.

Maybe if the MSM stopped whipping everyone into a frenzy over everything, people might just want to visit places again. Also if tourist spots became more realistically priced more Brits would go and make up the numbers!

This is a bullshit story, they can't fly away, their wings are clipped to prevent them from doing so.

Gis A Job.

spookyybarbi i too am a bored raven, straying from the tower 😂

The Sun headline? 'They've Gone Stark, Raven Mad!'

‘Bored’ ravens straying from Tower of London as tourist numbers fall

According to King Charles II's infamous decree, if less than six ravens remain, then it's White Tower will crumble and the country will be plunged into chaos. Fitting for 2020 tbh

YIPPPPPEEEEEEE the end of the MONARCHY or KEY TO UK MONEY is coming to an END. It also means Andrew Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Windsor can be carted of to USA and face trial for forced under age sex.

No! Oh my god no! It's gonna fall down now!

There's hope yet ... Buck palace would make a great immigration center

And when the ravens leave the tower ...

Their wings are clipped

Nevermore.

Oh, but I suppose they still want to be on the civil-list, whilst defecting from the monarchy. Well, they can f*** right off, who do they think they are?

Not now, Ravens!

Well that answers the question for what 2020 is going to throw our way in September

Count .. how many strayed ...

They've retired to a street nearby.

And then the walls fell down.

Good. Long overdue.

Boring scrums are to rugby what King Herod was to babysitting, says DiamondThe Sale director of rugby, Steve Diamond, has called on the authorities to get rid of lengthy delays caused by scrums, which he believes are blighting the modern game Wearing masks? Ffs. If you want to make rugby less boring then do away with penalties for anything except foul play. The rest, e.g. off-side, should just incur free kicks. Continued incursions, however, will deserve yellow cards.
