And obviously, pre-emptive striking "you are all leftist goons" only gets you a warning.

And given Transnapastain didn't warn him for THAT specifically, one can't help but wonder what the whole point of Moderation is ignoring things of significant importance.

Now we just need a Khruschev to denounce Stalin. Nick Griffin, anyone?

To go from a terrible British nationalist to a slightly better one?

Quite right, there was no need, y'all did a perfectly good job making that point before he bothered to say it. Though I'm slightly confused, I thought if we couldn't speak civilly to one another in these discussions, we were supposed to do something else until we could figure out how to manage it. Because that was, like, less than a fucking week ago.

Or does that little bit not count when you feel like getting in the last word?

Oh well, just another shining example of the professionalism and maturity of nationstates moderation.

have a nice day.


Call me crazy, but I get the sneaking suspicion that you don't really mean that.

I am not the topic of this conversation, NA. Kindly get back on topic, or go find something else to do. Thank you.

Cut the picspam, folks. If you want to discuss your differences, do so. If you want to toss up the cheap shot pics, there's Facebook and Twitter.

How would Nick Griffin be in any way, shape, or form be better than Thatcher? Even mildly?

I think he'll do. Although someone who's not a foaming-at-the-mouth racist would be a significant improvement.

I was going to suggest Tommy Robinson, but we need someone who is A. Not an illiterate, racist bigot and B. Not an illiterate, racist bigot.

I know those are technically the same point, but it's such an important point I believe it needs stating twice.

You've just disqualified Griffin.

Michael Heseltine might fit your requirements, though. He doesn't like Thatcher.

Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

No, wait, the guy can tolerate Tories when they're europhobic and he's probably even further to the right of them...

He'll be dead before the Cuban Korean Missile Crisis, though.

Do we have any evidence the dragon actually ate children? All we have is a second-hand, retold story. The dragon might've been a vegetarian, but the locals needed food, so they killed him. A faulty source if you ask me. *nods*
