As the World chortles hysterically at the "Brexit" debacle . . .

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2019)

. . . people are demanding to know, "How did England ever get so messed up?" THE FAVOURITE provides three solutions to this riddle: Wigs, Royals, and Whigs. For centuries, this beleaguered island has limped along as the decadent play land of the Super Rich. THE FAVOURITE faithfully depicts these demonic clowns as blithering bozos, interested in nothing beyond bankrupting the Working Class to finance their Wild Orgies of Perversion and underwrite as many senseless slaughterhouse wars around the globe as possible. Though THE FAVOURITE only covers about a decade at the beginning of the 1700s, it soon becomes clear that any nation which allows itself to stagger along under the curse of a "Royal Family" richly deserves all the Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti Providence surely will throw its way. EVERY "Royal Family" of which there's a historical record notoriously has been culled from the most sordid Dregs of Humanity, soon being further riddled with all the maladies and deviances known to Man due to rampant in-breeding. THE FAVOURITE's "Queen Anne" embodies most if not all of these gross short-comings. With Anne accurately documented here as a sorry excuse for a person, it's obvious that England could have fared better with a frog on its throne!
