Getting On : All My Politics
My Fellow Englishmen, My Blood Boils! | from Baxter - Friday, October 15, 2004 accessed 1396 times I need to vent my frustration at belonging to the politically impotent mass. I know the rest of you Brits on this site are divided in your opinions of the progress across the water. Maybe I'll end up alienating a couple of you, who knows? Who cares? When I finish, I am seriously considering emigrating. Maybe some Scandinavian country (whoah, Elle, let me finish). I don't know how I can impart just how I particularly feel about being British to you Americans. Let me put it this way. WE ARE THE TRUE SILENT MINORITY. We are nominal American subjects! We’re not even citizens, we take our orders from your leaders and WE CAN'T EVEN VOTE!!!!! Do you have any idea how totally impotent this feels? We in the UK are watching with bated breath at every pin-drop in the US election, but we can do nothing about it. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Major or (God fucking forbid) Howard or that fucking hyena Duncan-Smith had been PM, we would have gone to war. With Blair, the supposed liberal man of the 'people' (Islington Bourgeoisie scumfuck), we went to war anyway. Do I dare wonder if the Lib-Dems would have been able to oppose the 'special relationship'? DON'T FUCKING BET ON IT!!!!!!! Don't even mention the fucking UKIP!! At least you Yanks have the luxury of having clearly defined lines drawn for you. You can choose a side. WE HAVEN'T GOT ANY!!!!! And the war continues, and my former fellows in Arms continue to come home in coffins, with only the honour of the berets and their belts on top to mark their totally needless sacrifice, and whatever good we have done in Iraq or any other of the places in which our apparent even-handedness and environmental experience has supposedly been of good use, is being squandered as rapidly as those bodies going home to more impoverished and insecure working-class families who don't even know what their sons fucking died for! If we were under Thatcher we could hate and forget, there would be no reason to feel betrayed. With this fucking cunt we don't even have this luxury. What the fuck are we to do? So Americans, PLEASE, I FUCKING BEG YOU!!! Whoever you vote for, please (with a fucking cherry on top) spare a thought for the blindly willing human shield your government and ours have placed in between yourselves and the rest of the angry world. Please, consider that while your young men will fight and die at least so that your capitalist fat-cats will get rich (rest in peace), and make your country more rich, ours will be fighting and dying for NOTHING! |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | from Vicky Wednesday, October 27, 2004 - 13:35 (Agree/Disagree?) And now the redeployment of The Black Watch is under way, amidst fervent assurances by the oh so credible Tony B-liar that they'll be home for Christmas. Well, I for one am not going to be holding my breath! (reply to this comment)
| | | | | from Elle Sunday, October 24, 2004 - 14:17 (Agree/Disagree?) Hi sweety! Let's go to Norway Baxter, the country with most political freedom of the three... We could have a small cottage by the mountain and look out on the fjord in the mornings and cuddle up by the fire and do what scandianvians always do... Talk scandinavian!! :) Jag kommer att vänta på dig vännen! (reply to this comment)
| | | from ErikMagnusLehnsher Monday, October 18, 2004 - 20:04 (Agree/Disagree?) There's of course no guarantee that our Presidential Election will affect the British presence in Iraq but one can hope. I will be voting for Kerry with the hope that the U.S. can retain/regain some credibility with regards to Iraq. There are a few other reasons that he has my vote but one of my greatest concerns is Iraq and terrorism and hope for better days for our country as well as yours. Cheers. (reply to this comment)
| from shikaka Monday, October 18, 2004 - 19:43 (Agree/Disagree?) again, I urge all my fellow humans to channel their negative energy into the creation of a one world government. If that doesnt work, lets go for complete anarchy. txsm! GBY! (reply to this comment)
| from Monday, October 18, 2004 - 18:57 (Agree/Disagree?) Do they allow Englishmen's blood to boil? How about Englishwomen? Englishchildren? Englishpets? (reply to this comment)
| | | from moon beam Monday, October 18, 2004 - 01:12 (Agree/Disagree?) Fuckin Amen!! And now big bro want another 600 of our troops to move in to "help out" US troops. No doubt to give Bush the apearance of having a strong coalition and support. Wednesday 9pm "The power of nightmares" BBC2 Sounds very interresting. (reply to this comment)
| | | | | | | from juniper Sunday, October 17, 2004 - 22:56 (Agree/Disagree?) I know exactly how you feel. I also live in an annexed state of the US, its called Australia and we eagerly await our next instructions from our big brother. (reply to this comment)
| | | from Tim R Sunday, October 17, 2004 - 22:54 (Agree/Disagree?) Well, I just voted for Kerry, and as a further act of cross-Atlantic solidarity I think I'll go have a nice pint of Newcastle. Here's to regime change! (reply to this comment)
