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.

The idiocy of the wokeists does seem to be unlimited.
Is George Lazenby playing Bond in this one?
Have they made James Bond gay yet.
Seriously, it’s over, let it die. There’s no more Britain anyway.
I’m rooting for the villain....................
They are considering a female Bond..................
Yup. Same. I hope Bond gets killed again. This time from gae sex with Mr. Monkeypenny.
Is it idiocy?
Or does Hollyweird now exist to launder money for Deep State...
“Æthelstan”.
Is that his real name or his FReeper Handle? LOL.
Sounds like some of my dearest FRiends. Ha Ha Ha.
The Bond Franchise died.....killed off several years ago by untalented hacks who hide their lack of talent behind woke virtue signaling.
Winston Churchill once said a fanatic is “one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject”.
That’s what the Wokists are. Everything - literally every facet of life is their ideology all the time.
is now uncomfortable in a room if the crowd lacks women
That's fixable.....
Or
Where are the gay flags? Where are the transgender activists of color?
The hands are always the giveaway.
Speaking of hands, have you seen recent pics of Big Mike? Those hands look like they could crack walnuts.
Britain left the best of its manhood on the killing fields of WWI and WWII. What’s left are mostly cucks, simps and losers.
All of Europe left the best of its manhood in the killing fields of WWI and WWII, especially Germany.
So the “villian” is now an “unapologetically old-school” statesman. Sounds about right for the times we are in.
I hear they don't have any Lobster crackers at Martha's Vineyard, they just have Mooch do it for the table.
Absolutely the case. One can only conclude that the leftovers are mentally deficient.
