On Thursday 17 January, the 97-year-old Prince Philip had a car accident. According to the Daily Mail, the only person capable of asking him to stop driving is the Queen. As such, the rest of the country has little option but to just be wary.

WARNING!

New signs going up around the country will warn that Royals may be operating in the area. One traffic officer told us:

Ageing royals present a unique threat to drivers. They could come out of the bushes in a horse and carriage; they could be on the wrong side of the road on an armoured giraffe. In one instance, the Duke of Gammonbury dropped from the sky in a partially-decommissioned bi-plane he’d lifted from the aeronautical museum.

He went on to say:

This time of year is particularly bad. The last of the boozy Christmas pudding is dissolving in their systems, and the cold weather means they’ll have the heating turned up to the max.

When asked what drivers could do to avoid this menace, the officer advised motorists to:

Move anywhere that Royals avoid – like the North, or the job centre.

Powerless

There is, sadly, nothing we can do to stop old Royals driving. Other than – you know – just stopping them.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support

The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.

The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.

So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
