ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

I wasn't expecting that degree of coldness from you of all people, Arch. :p
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.

The Tory party (a majority of whose parties voted against the gay marriage bill when it came to the fore a while ago; it was the first bill in a while that was basically voted through by the opposition, not the government) won't actually call you out for being gay these days, they'd just demonise you if you were unemployed.

The Tory Party is still very much Thatcher's Party, just with slightly less of an anti-gay tendency and far more subtle racism towards Bulgarians and Romanians.

This part is particularly confusing to me because I can never for the love of God see what's so wrong about Bulgarians and Romanians.

I never see why racists tend to point these two particular ethnicities out as opposed to all the others.

Cos they'll soon be part of the EU and, obviously, billions of them will come over here with the intention of taking our jobs, wives and precious metals.

They already are part of the EU, you mean.

Anyway, there aren't enough of them to outnumber you all even if ALL of them move to the UK, which they won't.

Nah, he was a Byzantine knight who was martyred by the Emperor for being Christian, nothing more.

303 is a bit too early to be called 'Byzantine' to be honest.

Also I'd say that standing up to the most powerful man on the planet, and surviving various execution attempts, all for what he believed was right, makes him a hero... or at least heroic.

Hero? Maybe. Worthy of being the Patron Saint of England? Certainly not, I'd reserve that for someone who actually visited England.

And in fact, prior to being gradually replaced by St. George from the 13th century, the patron saint of England was Saint Edmund the Martyr.
