It means the Brits get to elect who will agree to do and say exactly what the King and his mafioso family tells them to do and say.

That's clearly bullshit.

When the House of Commons and the King disagree the Commons is supreme.

When that was last tested, in 1688, the reigning monarch was removed from power and replaced.

It was enshrined in the Bill of Rights 1689 and has not needed to be tested since.

when the prime minister and the monarch agree that the PM takes all the credit for murdering lots of kids, the prime minister gets a knighthood. (tony blair) - chasing the peerages.

When they disagree, they get a big dose of massive character assassination (Gordon Brown, Jeremy Corbin)

Or just dead (David Kelly).

Discussed in detail during the non public weekly meetings between the PM and head of state.

It's very easy to get. As a visitor, I got one in the airport for $20. "ID verification" is stretching it, but like so many things in China it requires the vendor to take a photo of your ID, and unusually also to take a photo of you and submit it to the telecom website.

Have you tried to use it to register for any website? It likely won't work.

This kind of SIM card worked fine for me to register for several online services in China earlier this year, including a Chinese ride sharing service and online shopping.

It probably did. I was in the us this summer and was similarly confused that the pump wanted a us zip code for a foreign card. I input the zip for the address i was staying at and it worked...

Huh. I'd always assumed the zip code was validated against the card's billing address but maybe it's actually for some kind of market research. I'll have to try myself.

Following up: I tried a valid but incorrect zip code recently and the transaction was declined. Presumably this is because there is a valid one associated with my account?
