Title: United Kingdom: General Election - 9 days left
Post by: The Nutty Pig on September 20, 2014, 01:00:49 pm
We have threads to do with politics, we have boards to do with different countries, and we even have a Yorkshire thread. I think it is about time we had a proper United Kingdom thread, not like the silly cluster fuck  that Wigster made (No offence my Yorkshire brethren). This is not going to be a patriotic fuck up like the colonials did with the "murica" thread. But somewhere to discuss about the goings on in the UK.

Good source of information to get links and discussions from are:

We will also have a poll every week, starting with Scottish Independence. This thread is about anything to do with the UK, politics, TV, music, etc.
One less thing.

God save the Queen!

Can people state the reasons behind what they voted in the poll? It would be nice to get a discussion going on about it.

Guys, I understand you just want to have fun, but this thread is meant a bit more serious then you probably like to think it is.

If I get reports for spam or trolling again, I'm afraid I'll have to issue warnings or mutes. Now go to the Mess Hall to spam as much as you like, or post a bit more relevant stuff.

Actually, no. I don't mind threads getting off-topic, especially when everybody joins in the subject - I won't enforce rules for the sake of there being rules. This is, however, not getting off-topic, but merely trolling and spamming, and when the OP requires them to be stopped, I come into the picture.

Really? I guess I must have imagined the last few thousand years of conflict and becoming conquested. Apart from the constant influx of peoples. And the fact that it hasn't been a stable country since it became a British mandate. Really, it's been in constant civil war ever since the Americans started leaving. It's hopeless.

Sinn Fein is/was essentially the political wing of the IRA. Their current leader, Gerry Adams, used to help mastermind bombing campaigns that killed a lot of innocent people during the Troubles. He denies this, but there's a lot of evidence he's lying.
