I’m going to war? For Rishi Sunak? Give yer’ ‘ead a wobble! I’ve got things to do!” So said 23-year-old TikToker Charley Marlowe in a widely shared video she posted to the platform over the weekend. “I’m gay,” she continued, with her Mancunian lilt. “I’m Northern — I will play them cards!”
You can’t help but laugh. If anyone is going to make a joke about the potentiality of an impending world war, it’s Gen Z. Marlowe is not the only one — 26-year-old content creator Ayamé P uploaded a similar video. “I’m sitting here naked, eating a bowl of yoghurt,” she begins, “reading about how we might have to go to war? They want to send me, a little girl … to the frontline?”
