[Huey George] Update #7 from 10 Downing Street - March 2015 - The ongoing revolution

Day 2,686, 23:00 • Published in United Kingdom

• by 10 Downing Street

A brief update in regards to the

Current Revolution

My Government's position on the current revolution is for each UK citizen to make their own informed choice.

The media is full of information and you will have your own party feeds, military feeds and trusted friends to discuss the situation with.

I personally still hold the opinion that the majority of the UK citizenry needed more time and access to more information to make a fully informed choice however as the right of a population under a dictatorship, elements of the populace can move on their own.

I do question BigAnt's (named currently Dan Moir) right to spend the money considering its source is likely to have been the UK treasury during his last term as our Country President. Additionally as much as I want to see a restoration of democracy, I don't agree that rushing into it or working with BigAnt's (named currently Dan Moir) is the 'right' way to do it, especially considering some of the tactics he has employed to confuse the populace and the manner of its launch meant I felt it was likely to fail and would have undermined a future revolution. However of course as I write this the revolution is succeeding.

However I have and still hold questions on Adastros.'s right to appoint Wayne as Dictator and the subsequent decisions Wayne has made as the Dictator.

I will personally chose to abstain from combat for either side and instead elect to put my trust into those with enough clarity of mind to fight for either side as it seems the only choice I personally been left with.

We shall see what the day brings. Once again I ask you to read widely, seek opinion from your friends, parties and MUs and then to make your own informed choice about what action to take.

I know a lot of you will look to the Government for instruction however a 'Government' line should not hold strength over your own values and mind on this one. However I appreciate it is not an easy choice to make on your own.

Thanks for reading

Huey George

Country President/Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

So.will.be actively fighting for a side or will you be sitting on the virtual.fence watching?

"I will personally chose to abstain from combat for either side"

What's it like sitting on top of your fence Huey?

NigelFarage Day 2,687, 04:10

You have the highest office and you abstain ?

You just can't do that.

How about you and your government resign ? - that would be a proper question but it's already the 30th.

well what can he say? if he supports revolution he will be seen as supporting BA and Dapper, if he fights against it he will be accused of supporting Dictatorship, he will be criticized whatever side he takes.

NigelFarage Day 2,687, 04:43

Not taking a stance at all is far negative than taking a ' bad ' one

Septuagenarian Day 2,687, 05:02

But his government isn't abstaining the MOD is one of the supporters of this.

I sincerely hope that this back handed support for Dapper manages to sink Huey once and for all

AMD. Day 2,687, 05:05

sexa, the MoD through an accident xD supported the revolution

Rob the Bruce Day 2,687, 06:20

The MoD clicked by accident then me and him had talks about the stance MoDkrew should take as at that point Huey hadn't been online to give an opinion. I was like "nahhhh we can't support it" but idk what happened in the end.

AMD. Day 2,687, 05:02

he gets critisised whatever choice he makes or doesn't make, it would have been just as bad for any other CP.

Septuagenarian Day 2,687, 05:04

No it wouldn't, we would know where this fictitious CP stood, as it is Huey is saying one thing and his government is doing another

AMD. Day 2,687, 05:06

his government doing what? the MoD accidentally supported the revolution, the rest of the government are neutral (except me). how is this evidence of the government doing something else

Septuagenarian Day 2,687, 05:06

Accident? total BS

If it was an accident why haven't we seen a resignation

NigelFarage Day 2,687, 05:10

I asked him to resign, he said nothing, withdrew support and supported again. That's what I remember but don't quote me 100% on that because it was 'Farage' night with gin involved.

Rob the Bruce Day 2,687, 06:21

WookieO didn't resign from his first presidency when he accidentally proposed an Albania MPP....

VoodooMike71 Day 2,687, 07:54

I'm in the cabinet, and I can confirm that MoD clicked support by accident (it was a touchscreen issue apparently). I won't leak the cabinet thread that covers it, so it's up to you whether you want to accuse me and others of lying about it.

Regarding a resignation - there's no need. A simple mistake was quickly rectified. End of story. There's no need to be so ... dramatic about it.
