Decided to take a holiday — that’s a vacation in the local vernacular — and drove way down to the very tip of England that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. The place where the myth of King Arthur supposedly came from.
There’s a very strange “Downton Abbey-meets-Addams Family” late Victorian Era seaside hotel there named Camelot Castle.

This is where I discovered that crazy is not confined to the United States.
Meet John Mappin.
John Mappin is a British businessman and entrepreneur. He is the owner and director of Camelot Castle Hotel, located in Tintagel, Cornwall, England. Mappin comes from a family with a long history in the jewelry business.
John Mappin is big into Scientology and a member of the right-wing UK Independence Party (UKIP). He has run for political office, including a failed bid for the UK Parliament in the 2015 general election.
He is also a Tucker Carlson fan.

Fan of Trump and Farage raises far-right ‘Q’ flag at his Cornish castle A key supporter of Nigel Farage and Donald Trump has provoked ridicule after using his Cornish castle to fly the flag of a prominent conspiracy theory identified by the FBI as inspiring rightwing violence.
The local Conservative MP Johnny Mercer on John Mappin:
Mercer called the hotel owner "one of the weirdest people in the South West".

One of the leading figures in Britain’s QAnon conspiracy movement, who flew the Q flag above his Camelot Castle Hotel in Cornwall last year, has been accused of sharing false claims about the Jewish investor and philanthropist George Soros.

Here is the thing, in Britain that wacky far right wealthy idiots are called out as being “weird” where in America, they are considered “patriots”
