“Good Afternoon, Great Britain. I am Michelle Rodriguez and here is today’s news on the astounding political movements of the last few days.”

“In an astounding victory, the ruling Supreme State Party won their public referendum to request permanent rule across the nation. Political analysts were amazed at the levels that turned out to vote, some figures quoting in upwards of eighty percent of the populace voting to suspend the democratic system.”

“The SS Party, who have won the previous three elections, promptly went about taking immediate action. In honour of the public’s decision, the country name was officially changed to SS-GB, in recognition of the overwhelming support to allow the Supreme State Party unlimited rule.”

“Prime Minister Jack Featherstone was declared Chancellor early this morning as the results were officially announced. The Chancellor will take up residence in the Chancellery, which was formerly Buckingham Palace before the rebellion and execution of the Royal Family twenty years ago.”

“The new national flag was also revealed as regional borders between England, Scotland and Wales were declared null and void. The flag, an alteration of the cross of Saint George with the SS Party’s cross in the top left hand corner, will become effective from today.”

“Chancellor Featherstone gave a rousing live speech earlier today, covered by the whole media system, in which he promised that the SS Party’s policies on state regeneration, a revival of national identity and a modernisation of the Armed Forces would continue to be the main strives of the nation.”

“Answering questions as to possible changes to the nation’s policies towards immigration, the Chancellor announced the following, taken from his speech.”

“To those who question our policies regarding immigrants, I say this; we are a nation, a single state, held together by a single loyalty and devotion to the continuance of our country and our society. However, we are not a Nazi state; we will continue our open border policy towards immigrants. Devotion to the state and each other comes not from your ethnic group, but from your devotion to the state and the collective above all. Any immigrants willing to accept this will be welcomed with open arms to SS-GB as they attempt to make a better life for themselves within our supportive society.”

“Carrying on with political news, the leader of the British Communist Party, David Harding was found dead in his home in the early hours of this morning. Harding, who had been in hiding after recent death threats, was discovered by private cleaners going in to do their morning rounds. Police spokespeople say they are treating the death as suicide.”

(OOC: Consider this an introduction into the NS world. And before anyone starts, I am not a Nazi either in NS or RL (I’m actually a Liberal Democrat in RL), but I have always been fascinated with Fascism and enjoy role-playing. Also, my nation is based more so on Italian Fascism rather than anything else, so there are no racial politics in my country. Anyone who is still confused should go and read the difference between Fascism in Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy.)
