So, the Chat & News board is not "For anything at all non-wargaming related!" after all, at least it isn't when one individual decides to introduce politics into a thread by posting about BREXIT, which until then had never been mentioned, and then complains about it.  Best not to get involved if you don't like a subject, I'd say.     

Well, I confess to being a tad miffed when it was locked.
I was about to deliver a withering (no really! It was...well...devastating, it was so brilliant!) riposte to several arguments.
And then I thought; this is about wargaming, not Anglo French diplomatic relations innit? I've been on other sites where political comment; overt, covert or implied has blown up into personal attacks and soured relations for some time, if not for ever.
Prob best stick to the no religion, no politics rule.
Frustrating though it is when my sheer brilliance was about to carry the day!

+1.


Very poor form. 

Definitely best to keep politics and religion off the forum.

Be careful what you wish for - I could raise any number of topics that would offend people (I haven't listed them here on purpose).

I am offended by the fact that would not mention topics that might offend people. The list of topics may or may not have included a topic which may or may not have offend me.

Consequently I am offended because I do not know if I would, or would not have been offended by one of the said topics.

The only solution I feel is that you list the topics, I will then know if I am offended or not. Then I will either no longer be offended, or be offended by one of the topics you list.

Until then I remain offended waiting to see if I may or may not be offended.  (I think)   

I'm offended by that Orcs! 

Orcs, as offends you I don't mention them, I won't.

Flanders & Swann - A Song of Patriotic Prejudice

The English, the English, the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest.

The rottenest bits of these islands of ours
We've left in the hands of three unfriendly powers
Examine the Irishman, Welshman or Scot
You'll find he's a stinker, as likely as not.

Och aye, awa' wi' yon Edinburgh Festival

The Scotsman is mean, as we're all well aware
And bony and blotchy and covered with hair
He eats salty porridge, he works all the day
And he hasn't got bishops to show him the way!

The English, the English, the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest.

Ah hit me old mother over the head with a shillelagh

The Irishman now our contempt is beneath
He sleeps in his boots and he lies through his teeth
He blows up policemen, or so I have heard
And blames it on Cromwell and William the Third!

The English are noble, the English are nice,
And worth any other at double the price

Ah, iechyd da

The Welshman's dishonest and cheats when he can
And little and dark, more like monkey than man
He works underground with a lamp in his hat
And he sings far too loud, far too often, and flat!

And crossing the Channel, one cannot say much
Of French and the Spanish, the Danish or Dutch
The Germans are German, the Russians are red,
And the Greeks and Italians eat garlic in bed!

The English are moral, the English are good
And clever and modest and misunderstood.

And all the world over, each nation's the same
They've simply no notion of playing the game
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won
And they practice beforehand which ruins the fun!

The English, the English, the English are best
So up with the English and down with the rest.

It's not that they're wicked or naturally bad
It's knowing they're foreign that makes them so mad!

For the English are all that a nation should be,
And the flower of the English are Donald (Michael)
Donald (Michael) and Me!

Good call
