The New New Great British Imperial Party
Official Manifesto of the Emparh

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/Slippery__Jim/UnionJack.jpg

Welcome to the New New Great British Imperial Party, good chap!
Your very presence should help stay the bloody awful weather we always seem to having in dear old Blighty, wot!

This manifesto will attempt to detail you of our goals, aims and objectives, as well as lay down the rules which all lawful and loyal citizens of the Emparh should follow!
Perhaps once you have read it you will agree with us that NationStates would benefit immeasurably from joining the ever-growing list of the Emparh's dominions, wotwot!

In summary:


The tea industry is to be subsidised by NationStates General.
Coffee shall be banned in public areas, though it may be enjoyed in the comfort of one's own home. We're not dictators, wot!
It will be compulsory to wear a top hat and carry an umbrella around at all times.
Received Pronunciation will be the official mode of speech of the Emparh and the entire population will be taught to speak it correctly.
American English will be removed from the face of the Earth. Microsoft Word shall be updated thusly and Bill Gates shall be incarcerated in the deepest dungeons and have all his earthly possessions, including money, requisitioned by the British Government for daring to spread the travesty that is American English. (We don't care if American English is closer to Old English than British English. It's not our fault that Americans can't keep up with the times. (If British English be found to be closer, then the following argument is to be used: we don't care if you decide to spit on tradition.))
The English language shall be placed under the official protection of the law from such things as intentional deviations from the Queen's English, the travesty that is 'leet speak' and other such abominable behaviours and modes of speech. Anyone disobeying this, unless outside of the Anglosphere, shall be flogged.
The 'United Kingdom' shall be defined in the following way: an English success is 'English'. An English failure is 'Henman'. A Henman success is a bloody miracle! A Scottish success is 'British.' A Scottish failure is 'Scottish' (this also applies to Wales and those pesky Northern Irish, wot!).
Instead of warnings, forum bans or deletions, the primary method of enforcing NS rules will be to send in a gunboat. Or HMS Victory (the famous one).
Anyone from a former part of the British Empire is to be referred to as a "damned colonial".
Anyone not from a former part of the British Empire or Britain is to be referred to as a "damned foreigner".
From this day forth newsreaders are banned from walking around the studio grinning when announcing thousands of deaths.
All food dishes must be served with a double portion of chips.
The statue of the pregnant woman in Trafalgar Square shall be replaced with one of Terry Wogan and another of Lord Philosopy.
The word "Empire" must be pronounced "Emparh" with reference to the British Empire.
It is compulsory to moan about the "bloody weather" at least once per day, or at any time when noticing the bloody weather. This shall be the case even when the bloody weather is not, in fact, in such an awful condition as to merit the word 'bloody'.
An official moratorium is to be put in place upon the phrases "Well done" and "Congratulations". Instead, the phrase "Jolly good show!" must be used.
Watching (and waving a Union Flag during) the Last Night of the Proms is compulsory.
The manufacture of tweed jackets, bowler hats, top hats and umbrellas is to be subsidised. The manufacture of three-piece suits is also to be subsidised.
NationStates shall invest vast sums of money into expanding the Royal Navy.
Celebrating the battles of Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo is compulsorary on pain of removal of tea rations and, well, pain.
NationStates is to apply for Commonwealth membership and recognise the Queen as head of state.


Now, go and join. For Emparh!

Most Honourable Members of Her Majesty's Empire*:
The Right Honourable Lord Sir Ilaer, CBE, OBE, MBE, Party President
The Right Honourable Lord Sir Steely Glint, CBE, OBE, MBE, Secretary of State for the Foreign Office

The manufacture of three-piece suits is to be subsidised, to allow for people of different tastes to wear what they want.

We cannot stand idly by while our beautiful language is being disgraced, those bloody colonials must learn how to spell correctly.

I propose that all party members bold the letter 'u' whenever they type honour.

HUZZAH!

Huzzah!

May I join this most glorious party? I would make a rather excellent Minister for Propaganda, I dare say.

But of course, good sah!

I say, sah, then I'd certainly love to sign up. Marshal of the Royal Air Force and Minister Responsible for Top-Hats would be a spiffing title if I could.

Also but of course, good sah, wotwot!

May I propose in future that all bastardisational spellings of our glorious mother tongue be made a flogging offence, or at least cause one to be made the subject of severe ridicule, severe I say. In persistent offences, it could be considered an act of war.

Flogging? Hmmm...
An intriguing idea...

Huzzah! It seems your party Lord Sir Ilaer is gathering pace! And all, so far, with a decent grasp of Her Majesty's English!

Except for that damned colonial. Honour, I say! Honour!

I wonder whether you ever read the sort of original thread by the Lord Sah Philosopy?
'Twas a brilliant thread, and certainly more active than this one...

What an excellent idea!
It could get a little tedious, though. Hmmm.
We need a program to do it for us...

It seems to me that we need to recruit more people into our party. There must be more people willing to serve Queen and country, wot!

Surely it won't be that tedious, honour is not a word most people use frequently.

May I revive this thread to remind members that they should be supporting that bastion of British sportsmanship Mr Tim Henman esq in his traditional five-set first round match against the damn Spaniard Moya. 2 sets all, 10-9 up in the final set.:)

Success. In an event comparable to the defeat of the Spanish Armada, Henman defeateed the dastardly spaniard by the amazing tactic of having his opponent double fault on Henman's seventh match point. Huzzah.

Huzzah! More glory for the Emparh! :)


I suggest an amendment to rule number 6:

The 'United Kingdom' shall be defined in the following way: an English success is 'English'. An English failure is 'Henman'. A Henman success is a bloody miracle! A Scottish success is 'British.' A Scottish failure is 'Scottish' (this also applies to Wales and those pesky Northern Irish, wot!).

Done, sah!
And what splendid news, might I say. Why, it almost rivals that of the news of Wellesley's Waterloo victory, wotwot!

And sorry for being absent from the thread for a couple of days, everyone. I've been a bit frustrated with my life recently so I'm visiting forums less in case of arguments.

Fools! The French are NOT the UK's weakness. Their ultimate RPS weakness:

I dare the Brits to try and overcome the might of Gandhi's independence movement.
