As David Kurten said, this “baddie” sounds like a “top bloke.”
From an entertainment magazine article this spring:
Ian Fleming Publications has commissioned … Charlie Higson to write a new James Bond adventure to celebrate the coronation of King Charles.
The new 007 story, ‘On His Majesty’s Secret Service,’ brings Bond into the present day. It is May 4, two days before the coronation of King Charles III. Bond is sent at the last minute to thwart an attempt to disrupt the coronation by the wealthy, eccentric and self-styled Athelstan of Wessex, who is on a deadly mission of his own to teach the United Kingdom a lesson.
One particular excerpt from the book is marvelously amusing; not because it’s a thrilling spy story, but because two characters, no doubt intended to be the villains, sound like swell statesmen, and sort of give off an American “Founding Father” vibe. A little context for “Birkett” and “Æthelstan” can be found below:
As Joel Abbott for Not the Bee said, “This new villain sounds BASED.”
Birkett is obviously very informed, abhors the Great Replacement, loves his country and hates globalism, refuses to bend to climate communism, and is… anti-pedophile? Sounds like a stud.
As for Æthelstan… an “unapologetically old-school” statesman who prioritizes political efficiency over creating a woke smörgåsbord of “diversity” hirees? A girl can only dream!
James Bond, a superhuman assassin, is now uncomfortable in a room if the crowd lacks women and the disabled? See Abbott’s response here:
GASP!
Where are the gay flags? Where are the transgender activists of color? Where are the twerking drag queens? Is there anybody at all in this English gathering named Mohammed? HOW WILL BOND SURVIVE THIS??
Let me remind you, this is not a Babylon Bee headline; it’s completely real.

Yep. "She" da Man.
Indeed when women were women and the men knew it.
Affirmative.
I guess so. I’m male with big hands but I’m 6’3”. My mom’s hands were as big as mine as she was 5’10” but she had really long fingers. I just have large palms. But I’m not doubting your premise at all. Just my 2 cents.
