Did you enjoy wandering about the UK in the middle of this enormous scandal we have going on here at the moment? XD Or were you back before then?
Hope you enjoyed it, incidentally!
Also, this is a lovely drawing, and I really wish more good Hiccup-Astrid fanart was posted, and you produce some really good stuff of that ilk, so please can we see some more VERY SOON XD

oh, no way! it's okay, I don't really know a lot about current going-ons D:
oh shiiiet. I didn't hear ANYTHING like that when I was there. but then again, I was an obnoxious tourist, soooo. haha. damn. I only really know about the government shut down in my state, and I don't even know much about that. I don't like politics at all, but I should at least get on knowing what's going on... oh dear.

This is more the media, really.... what's been going on is that the News of the World, which was until last sunday a major newspaper (it's now closed because of this scandal), was hacking into the mobile phones of the families of British soldiers killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan, teenage murder victims, families of the victims of the July 7 2005 terrorist attacks in London... put simply, some of the most despicable journalism, if you can call it that, that can be imagined. Surrounding that are all sorts of questions around the original police investigation, corruption in certain parts of the police, and the problems in balancing the requirement for a free and unrestricted press and protecting the rights of the individual - and that's where the politics comes in, because at present there is a major impetus to introduce new legislation to try to fix this. I have to say in this case, our politicians have actually acted fairly, sensibly, and decisively, but there are also problems with how close politics in general became with the media because of trying to win elections, and the influence the media has. To their credit, politicians of all parties have recognised that this has been a major and ongoing problem and there is talk of fixing this as well.
That's my really-quick summary of what's been going on. It's been rumbling on for two weeks now, this thing, and there's so many issues and problems surrounding it. Hard to keep track sometimes! XD

holy.. shiet. that's a lot! I'm surprised you got that much, holy damn. but wow, that's intense. that's a lot more than I expected. I really hope they fix it, because I could see it turning into a domino effect where it just doesn't end D: Thanks for telling me this!

It's spreading to the US at the moment because News International also owns several US publications including the Wall Street Journal... it could well turn out that this sort of thing was endemic...

That swords is boss but why is he a mile taller than Astrid? LOL at first glance I thought she was his daughter or something. She must be standing in a pit or something.
