British Politics Thread.

Off topic? In the oubliette? as if.

[CoffeeGrunt]

It's a topic I could talk about for a while, so I didn't wanna derail the thread on it if it'd annoy others. :P

Pfft, Challenger 2 is by far the best MBT available at the moment- it has a built-in kettle! Logistical gem that, the crew can eat hot food and drink tea without ever leaving the safety of their vehicle...

Perhaps we need a random tank stuff thread...?

[CoffeeGrunt]

I dunno man, Gotthammer will probably spam it with Girls Und Panzer pics. Not that it'd be a bad thing, but there's no Challenger IIs in that show yet. :P

Also the Bivvy has been stolen by pretty much the rest of NATO. The Abrams definitely has it, at least, because it's an ingenious idea that even those savage colonials can appreciate.

[Psychosplodge]

Yes but I bet they use it wrong for coffee and similar nonsense not making tea.

[Haighus]

The Abrams has it? Since when? I thought only Britain and India had it as a standard requirement for all armoured vehicles and it was something pretty unique to those countries?


Also this £25 democracy tax to sign up to Labour for the Leadership election is bs, it is meant to be a party for the working class!

I thought it was to keep a certain section out initially. But if you consider the labour party is something you join with an annual membership fee, the idea of only paying £3 and getting the same voting rights as fully paid up members is a kick in the teeth to every single longterm supporter. I'm assuming £25 is somewhere in the region of a full annual membership?

That's no kettle, it's a boiling vessel😜

Tanks may be of topic but they're a whole lot better than politics, or is that Royal Navy ships 🤔

[CoffeeGrunt]

Having watched clips of PM's Questions with May's first bout of it, there is no doubt. She's modelling herself on Thatcher in both demeanour and attitude. She was far more focused with attacking Labour than actually answering the questions, and more concerned with petty quips and jibes than proper politics.

Oh, and Trump's been elected as the Republican candidate.

We're all f*cked.
