Welcome to Version V of the UK politics thread, where we discuss the UK political scene with the wit and verve that only loyal tea-drinking subjects of Her Majesty can muster.

We carry over a debate from Thread IV where we seek to settle at last the leading political issue of the day, one that towers over Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn's ability to find a seat on Virgin Trains, or the junior doctors' strike for significance:

Just what is the greatest county in the United Kingdom?

Tag, you're it.

What did you bastards spend the last ten pages doing?

I saw Ostro somehow flashing his cash-loaf and that was it.

Also Sous not understanding the meaning of the term "internet girlfriend".

I was getting it into the 'View your posts' tab.

Also how very dare you, Arch, exclude God's Own County from the list?

Yorkshire is too grand to accept the label of "other".

The great debate of our time, which county is Britain's greatest?

I understand everyone gets intimidated by Yorkshires size so I'll forgive it not being on the poll, But I must assert, it's the dogs bollock. They had to break us up we were so fucking intimidating. As it's my current place of residence Staffordshire gets an honourable mention but it's a poor surrogate on gods own county, as I cast my mind back to being on Ilkley Moor Baht 'at.

I've never lived in Yorkshire, lived in Lincolnshire (part of) for 18+ years and 5-ish years in Merseyside, and I still don't contest Yorkshire's rightful place as England's grandest County.

Were it not obvious, yes I am drunk.
My alcohol tolerance has really tanked, I was past tipsy on 3.8 units (710cl) of Corona on Saturday, and tonight on 4 bottles (330ml) of Tiger beer.
Though tbh, that's 2.5 shots of pure alcohol, or 100ml of spirits equivalent.

I've been to Lincs. As far as I saw its just RAF bases and LIncon, but its not that bad.

That is an adequate description of the various Lincolnshires.

Vanguard went full T4 and had to be benched.

It can only be Norfolk. Birthplace of Thomas Paine, Lord Nelson, Edith Cavell and Boudicca. Not bad for a small county

If I weren't drunk and could quote posts, I'd totally go back and look.
Executive summary?

Also, where'd Ostro go?

"We should just kill all the poor people".

Was he not quoting the Mitchell & Webb sketch? Because that'd be a fair defence imo.

Most of the countryside in the UK is beautiful. I prefer the S.E brand.

Eh, Lincolnshire (North, at any rate) is close enough to Yorkshire I guess.

I've been to scunthorpe, it's okay, but what really what sets Yorkshire apart in my opinion is the sense of togetherness that's felt within it's borders I've never found that in the midlands to my dismay where I went to uni and now where I live. In London there is some of that, but one part of London hates the other, it's like class conflict was given an earthly location to battle it out and that place was London. Also I'm jealous my high tolerance some times annoys me. Costs me a fortune in clubs.
