Northumbrian/Northern nationalism: NOW A REALITY?

[Nilokeras]

So less than 5% of the followers amassed by 'Gators Daily', a niche meme account that celebrates crocodilians and popularized Flat Fuck Friday. Truly, it's breaking in to the mainstream.

That account has been running for over a year and has worldwide appeal compared to Northumbrian independence.

To narrow the scope, it still has less than 10% of the followers of Lord Buckethead, a local space tyrant candidate for Parliament in Uxbridge and South Ruislip notable for such election promises as exiling Katie Hopkins to the Phantom Zone.

[Grenartia]

Because the Mods explicitly told Munk/Northumbria not to post any more of these threads after the previous ones crashed and burned.

Ok and what do you gain from being a tattle tale for unpaid moderators?

Maybe a forum experience that's a little better?

And who cares?

Why don't you care?

[Vassenor]

Oh, are we doing this again?

Northumbria has not existed for over a thousand years. I have seen no where near enough evidence to suggest the majority of people in the region want to bring it back. You can find a few thousand people who support fringe ideas pretty easily.

But it's not Northumbrian independence though. Apparently it's Northern independence, but using Northumbrian Nationalism as the poetic term for Northern independence.

. . .

It makes no sense. It is practically Northumbrian Nationalism 3.0

[Philjia]

Notice that it has received no coverage in the Hexham Courant, the beloved and endearingly crap newspaper that has devotedly and incompetently served Tynedale since 1864. Nor has this been mentioned in the slightly more legitimate Evening Chronicle or Newcastle Journal. Unsurprisingly, the only local newspaper to cover it is the Northern Echo, which covers Wearside and Teeside, because the founder of this ridiculous party is from County Durham. This is unsurprising because Durham is a very economically deprived area that was formerly the seat of power in the North East, but was wholly eclipsed by Newcastle and Sunderland in the 19th century, although the importance of the latter waned greatly in the industrial decline of the 1980s. This is not something that has any relevance or interest to anyone in the North East outside of a narrow band of people desperately clinging to the idea that the city of Durham might once again rise to be some kind of leader within the region, couched in a backwards looking view that refuses to acknowledge the realities of the modern political and economic landscape. It is beyond little England; it's little Durham. Regional devolution in the North East is best kept separated because Northumberland, Tyneside, Wearside and Teeside all have wildly differing needs that an unwieldy central authority wouldn't be able to cater for. What is actually required is proper investment in our county councils from Westminster, to provide the services necessary to allow each region to solve the problems that face it.

In fairness, I think the old Kingdom of Northumbria controlled most of what could be called the North of England.

Although despite Northumbria supposedly being a "more poetic" name for the North, I've literally never heard Northumbria be used for the entire North. At best, it's for the North East, or not used at all.

There's more legitimacy for a revived and independent Confederate States of America than for this. Not that any legitimacy for a revived and independent CSA actually exists.

So, essentially, this has negative legitimacy.

If you're against """""snitching""""", you might want to drop out of this entire forum.

Pretty much the entire purpose of the Moderation board is for """""snitching""""", because the volunteer team of mods can't moderate this entire forum on their own.

Also, why do you care so much that a potentially-rulebreaking thread got reported so the mods can decide if it's rulebreaking or not?

No, the existence of a tiny party with less than a fifth the twitter followers of a random RT journalist I found while trying (and failing) to find the Twitter handle of a Thanet-based cooky rapper guy with more twitter followers than that does not mean it's some big thing.

And its an ideology that deserves to be put down with extreme rhetorical prejudice whenever it rears its head anyway.

[Albrenia]

I'm sure carving the UK up into even smaller pieces will make everyone better off. Brexit sure worked out well and went smoothly, after all.

That's sarcasm, by the way.

I'm ready for the Kingdom of North North North North North England.

The Orcney Islands have already been talking about independence from Scotland. I'm not sure if Nicola Sturgeon has tried the 'Better Together™ ' card yet.

I'd say Orks are more dangerous than Orcs; the former has more dakka.

Also Orks are Fungus

You kill Orks and fungal spores go into the ground, you get more Orks and Gretchin

Next thing you know Ghazghkull Thraka has laid siege to Edinburgh

The UK will have to defend itself against hordes of half-naked tribal types covered in blue paint with a penchant for axes and charge tactics, plus the orks too.

Ok, noob.

While not actionable in itself, I suggest you tone it down. Now.

Maybe a forum experience that's a little better?

Why would someone report this thread? Seriously if you don’t like a topic don’t post or don’t engage.

I swear the snitch’s of the world all gather here.

Given history of flamebait blended into several other offenses, I am issuing you *** three days off for flamebait and flaming; *** take the time off to read and reflect on the Rules.

You are a true man of honour.
Don't simp for the moderators, don't listen to their lies, ephebophiles won't have a chance unless we organise LOL. HAHHAHA. (Disclaimer: this is tongue in cheek

Yeah, let's not. Now would be a great time to tone it down before things get terribly ugly.

Everyone else: it would actually be pleasing if we can get back on track right about now.

Thread unlocked.

Thanks!
