[Anno Domini.]

*censored*ing hell geezer, that's a bit of a read for a wrestling forum I browse when I'm bored.

[LEGION]

TL:DR lol

[Muur]

I'd rather stay in the EU thanks

 

"

- Require all schools to fly the Union Jack and the flag of the patron saint of whatever respective UK nation they are in (England, Scotland, Wales, NI)

- Require all school classrooms to have a Union Jack and portrait of Queen Elizabeth II"

 

You serious? we aren't USA where they're obsessed with that shit

 

Also

 

"Reduce drinking, smoking and driving age to 16"

 

lol. You want school kids to be drink driving? cuz that's gonna happen.

[........]

Make Britain Great Again Vote Trump for P.M........

[Faster Than Light]

TL:DR lol

 

Ditto, so I just skimmed

 

 

 

- Have Jerusalem as the official national anthem of England

 

- Have Rule Britannia as the UK national anthem

 

How do these make Britain great again? Along with a portrait of the Queen in every classroom?

[........]

 

"Reduce drinking, smoking and driving age to 16"

 

I stop reading after that. He must be 16...

[Creepia]

 

 

"Reduce drinking, smoking and driving age to 16"

 

I stop reading after that. He must be 16...

 

 

That used to be the legal age. It's been 18 for both for a couple decades now. 16 is our legal age of consent with sex, though.

 

Also I barely read any after "I'm a Scottish Brexitor" because lol, no. We should have stayed and it has spiralled this country (these countries) into a political and economic mess which we wont recover from for about a decade.

 

And finally can we please let "Make -whatever- Great Again" die? It only provokes negative thoughts, it has negative and bigoted connotations and I'd rather my country not associate with that slogan and who came up with it.

 

P.S this is a wrestling forum, I know we have political discussion thread (so find the UK one and use that), but this is too much. I mean damn man.

[Muur]

"Mr Daily Mail" as his username just makes it seem like a troll

[maskedmaniac]

You forgot to include pizza 4 lunch every day and longer recess time.

[Creepy Bro]

TL:DR lol

 

Indeed!

[Mr Daily Mail]

I'd rather stay in the EU thanks

We are leaving the EU and there's nothing you can do about it!

 

Kids that age are drinking and smoking already anyway and most parents do not care so might as well let businesses make more money off them. And reducing driving age to 16 is only one year below 17, might as well let the provided they have a license.

 

 

TL:DR lol

Nothing wrong with a little bit of patriotism, middle England loves that.

 

 

"Mr Daily Mail" as his username just makes it seem like a troll

I'm no troll, many share my views, if the Conservatives used my policies with a good leader like David Davis, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Iain Duncan Smith, Andrea Leadsom. Michael Gove or Liam Fox they'd win a bigger landslide than Tony Blair.

You forgot to include pizza 4 lunch every day and longer recess time.

Fatty foods must be banned from school cafeterias.

[Faster Than Light]

Honestly, some of these ideas are common sense (like no visas to foreign criminals), some good ideas in here. Others are... eh. Some have more to do with personal preference more-so than 'making Britain great again'.

[Anno Domini.]

Didn't read the original post, but Michael Gove is a bellend and I refuse to take someone seriously who thinks he'd win a landslide in a general election. I've known UKIP voters that think he's a cockwomble.

[sam the d00d]

I personally think Sharia Law would make Britain great again.

[Creepia]

Let's conquer the world again, it's time North America had a monarch.

[Mr Daily Mail]

Let's conquer the world again, it's time North America had a monarch.

Hong Kong is as British as Finchley! We should not have handed them back to the Chinese!

Didn't read the original post, but Michael Gove is a bellend and I refuse to take someone seriously who thinks he'd win a landslide in a general election. I've known UKIP voters that think he's a cockwomble.

Michael Gove is a dedicated individual and man of principle. I think he would of made a great Chancellor of the Exchequer. He is a true supporter of an independent Britain, backs British fishermen with his dad owning a fishing business in North East Scotland before Brussels policies killed the business stone dead and a supporter of capital punishment. He's a real man's man.

Eeesh. Well I'm out.

[CROSS-Out]

I see this topic going well. /s

[Monkey D. Jiggy]

Thank the Lord I trained my hand through frequent masturbation, or else I would've gotten a cramp after all that scrolling.

[Twisted...]

Never mind.

[Creepia]

 

 

 

 

 

Those are our national anthems (for England at least)

 

I outright refuse to allow any football song become a national anthem.

[Twisted...]

Was a joke. Hence the " "

 

 

In regards to the national anthem, I can picture some getting it wrong when Charles (or William) takes the throne, because we're so used to saying, "God save the Queen" and not "King". We'll probably get used to it fairly quickly, though, haha.

[Mr Daily Mail]

If that's your sort of thing then you will support my manifesto which gives England their own parliament and anthem. The yucky chavs that sing along to that are also big on my type of policies as most of middle England are. My policies are also popular among the Orange Order in Glasgow, Northern Ireland and the North East of Scotland. If the Conservatives were to use my policies they would win a bigger landslide than Tony Blair.

[Twisted...]

I said I was joking. Chill. I'm not big on politics. I'm 24 and only just voted for the first time in my life this year. I wouldn't say that I don't care, I've just never understood what goes on. It's not my strong point. The songs posted were nothing more than a joke. Jeebus.
