Treachery, chaos and blackmail at the heart of the UK - Will war result?

Day 729, 11:09 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Lemuel Gengulfus


An incredible afternoon on the forums today as Widdows9000, respected commander of the eUK Special Forces, has attempted to force the Government into declaring war on either the USA or Sweden through theft and blackmail.

Using his position for power & responsibility, Widdows has removed from the UK Ministry of Defence the following items:

70 gold
1788.35 GBP
5 q3 companies
2 q1 companies
1 q2 company

577 q3 weps
4 q1 weps
1911 iron

19 market licenses

His motive? To force the UK’s government into a war he claims is long overdue.

The British Empire Party’s position, and that of most respected commentators and politicians, on on this is clear. Whilst Widdows may have a point that every now and again the eUK needs a regular militaristic kick up the backside (something the BEP has long argued for), any form of unilateral action ESPECIALLY by a member of the House of Lords who has no direct democratic mandate, is fundamentally wrong. This decision should have been allowed to be debated by the House of Commons and decided by the War Council.

The fundamental questions now facing the ailing government of Mr Woldy is 1) Does the PM command the UK’s armed forces, particularly the Special Forces, or are they out of control? 2) Should the UK give into Widdows demands and, in the face of a crumbling PEACE alliance, stand alone to face the USA?
