I've realised that some non-English-English speakers may be confused by the British reaction to Mark Zuckerberg sending other people in his place after his invitation to speak to the UK Parliament

While "you are invited to Parliament to speak on this subject" may be interpreted as "we'd like you come and talk if it's not too much bother" to some foreign ears, the phrase actually means "COME HERE RIGHT THIS SECOND YOU LITTLE SHIT AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF"

@troubleMoney Might there also be some confusion over the fact that Mark Zuckerberg is in fact not a British subject, so they can't really order him to do anything?

@thor nowt to do with being a UK citizen or not (people aren't "Subjects" any more (except in some very rare circumstances)), it's a case of "if we invite you to speak here it's technically optional, but you fucking better be dead or dying if you don't"
