I encourage everyone to support the "Norway Plus Swords" model as the only lasting solution to #Brexit: I invade Britain with an army of Norwegian mercenaries, retake my ancient throne, and bring an end to all this nonsense.
Yes, please draft the proclamation according to our established policy, Uthred. I will make a very brief statement shortly.

In happier news, I understand that M. Liam de Foxe will soon announce new trade agreements with Tír na nÓg, Great Ireland, the Garden of the Hesperides, and The Blessed Isles of the West. #Brexit

I am hearing from sources inside the Althing that today's #MeaningfulVote is likely to fail. Uthred, my scribe, and my private chancery are keeping close track of all developments. @UthredTheScribe

It may be un-Christian to say so, but deceit and manipulation can be justified after the fact if they deliver necessary results. Mme de Maie's great sin, politically speaking, is her incompetence. Three years of stumbling around with not a thing to show for it. #Brexit
Boris de Pfeffel seems like the sort of man I would not hesitate to order flung into the Thames with a catapult, if you take my meaning. #BorisJohnson
I understand that Lawspeaker Bercow, whom I otherwise admire, has not selected the Viking Party amendment with my “Norway Plus Swords” model for today’s #IndicativeVotes. We are following all developments carefully. #Brexit nitter.gq/canutusrex/status/1071…

You all know that I do not say this lightly: Mme Theresa de May is unfit, on every conceivable level, to be leader of this country. She is a danger to the safety and prosperity of the realm. #Brexit
Theresa May tells the British public "I'm on your side" and it's "high time" MPs made a decision over Brexit bbc.in/2JsiitE
It is always easy to criticise those who bear the burden of leadership. And one can have political disagreements. But this is about more than that. #Brexit
Dear Mme @Theresa_May: This is how you break the gridlock in the British Althing. Let each #Brexit faction appoint a champion. Land them on some small island and let them fight the holmgang until only one remains. Theirs is the outcome favoured by God and destiny. #MeaningfulVote
I will thank you not to use the churches in my beloved city as cover for your ill-disguised bigotry. nitter.gq/RichardDawkins/status/…
By law, should a person refuse to address you by your rightful title, the proper response is to challenge them to the holmgang. With axes. #ImmodestWomen
The most successful people I've met:
1. Fear God and obey just law
2. Dispense treasure generously
3. Sit in silent attention
4. Despise the work of níðingar
5. Bravely and gladly go to battle
6. Raid the English
7. Make no friendship with their foes
8. Raid the English some more nitter.gq/APompliano/status/1005…
To Jarl @JustinTrudeau of the Canadian Vinlanders, greetings. I commend my man Thorkell and his hird to your service. They will fight well for you against the Americans. nitter.gq/CanutusRex/status/1005…
Thorkell the Tall is at court. Word is that two Vinlander factions (the 'Canadians' and 'Americans') are on the brink of war. He intends to fight for the highest bidder.
Uthred, at some point we should look into who and where all these Vinlander factions are. They might be important in the future. @UthredTheScribe

Uthred, what on God’s blessed Earth is a “Minuchin”, and why do the Vingarders let it run their Exchequer?
I fully agree unless I am the king being saved. #RoyalPriorities nitter.gq/cmcurran21/status/1002…

I am alarmed at reports that @uni_copenhagen intends to discontinue its world-class teaching of the Norse languages. Are a a few bits of idle silver worth more to you than the sacred memory of your ancestors? #medievaltwitter medievalhistories.com/no-mor…
I encourage all good and faithful people to forward their thoughts on this matter not just to the @uni_copenhagen, but also in particular to @aahlers, the Royal Councillor with responsibility for academies and the Studia. #medievaltwitter
Uthred, my scribe, asks everyone to please stop sending us missives about "the #GDPR". There is no more room in the chancery to store them.
Uthred would also like me to assure everyone that the royal chancery is "fully #GDPR-compliant" and "your privacy is very important to us."
These people have no idea what they are doing. Absolutely no idea. nitter.gq/WhiteHouse/status/9996…
