What a week
What a week for beef in particular. Everyone seems to be beefing. In the world of geopolitics, the US have put the wheels in motion for a nuclear war with Iran by assassinating Quasem Soleimani. In the world of music, Stormzy and Wiley continue to debate online for no apparent reason other than the latter’s desperate attempts to gatekeep grime.
And in world of royalty, Meghan and Harry have decided to sack off the royal family in search of a more normal life. Much like Stormzy, the queen is understood to be “disappointed.” And for that, I have nothing but support for #Megxit.
Enjoy the quiz.
