The Queen’s Jubilee tea ‘with Paddington’ is unbearably heartwarming

The same thought occurred to quite a few people.

I hope Paddington likes it in Rwanda.

pic.twitter.com/TMRhSWl9xw Paddington author Michael Bond, drew on his wartime memories of evacuees and refugees when he created Paddington Bear, the refugee. Today, under our government, he’d still be waiting for the paperwork or worse, sent to Rwanda.

Queasy feeling that Paddington is now being pushed onto a plane for Rwanda.

Guys, guys – Paddington wouldn't be deported due to the fact he is a fictional anthropomorphic bear created by the author Michael Bond.

You, idiot: if Paddington were real and not fictional, her government would deport him.
Me, wise: is there anything more symbolic of the demeaning cruelty of monarchy than forcing a 96 year to pretend to talk to a CGI bear for our entertainment?

Frankie Boyle had a dark prediction.

Eight years time, you’re in a re-education camp and Paddington is one of the most feared guards. You stand in a long line of starving prisoners. The bear removes a sandwich from under his hat and eats it slowly and derisively in front of you.

This was a little more uplifting.

For anyone unaware, Paddington is the story of an unaccompanied minor who sought refuge in our United Kingdom. This is what we should always be. Kind.

We’ll leave the last word to the bear of the hour.

If we're kind and polite, the world will be right. Thank you.
