"This rage was driven by the prospect of hunger and enslavement from two invading armies."
If our economy collapses, as I feel it must, then "This rage" could be seen on our streets, but wait! We've had a wonderful King's speech that means all is well.
King Charles III "My government will be making everything in the country, nice, really nice.
My government will do this by making lots and lots of wordy speeches.
I must go now, to Highgrove, and talk to my roses about how to save the planet."
..and if that doesn't work, don't worry, financially incontinent Rishi will flood the economy every day with enough £billions to keep the 'Bread and Circuses' coming. "We're doomed, I tell you, doomed!"

Brilliant. I had forgotten that one. So how did Rishi get the coconuts? :)
Rides off into the sunset, to ask Suella, as she seems to be the one, and only one remaining with any sense .....
Copy that good buddy! (as we used to say in Nam) PS: I didn't go but I trained for it, at Bicester in 1964 - for my sins!
