[CP] Big Update
Jimbojoy
Dear Friends, I hope I find you well. This article will attempt to update you and prepare you for the next stage in our nation's recovery. I trust that you will have seen multiple articles and shouts voicing dissatisfaction and jubilation in equal measure throughout the last few days. I will address these points later, because I first need to talk to all the players in the country whom I was elected to serve, rather than a minority who want to use my silence on matters of strategy to the public at large for their own personal gain.
To the people who kept the situation in proportion, I thank you first. You saw that the eUK was never in any real harm from being off the map, and that it suited us far better to come back with our allies in place to a position of strength, given the raw hand that we were dealt. It is of note that the Argentinian ambassador credited us with the following: “The UK fought well, and I'm not joking.” He went on to acknowledge our Ireland hopping plan was a success, that certainly delayed the wipe. This of course ensured Poland to get the all important border.
So, I was accused this week of “Not rallying our allies” which was an amusing statement, given that the Polish NE came in a little under 2 minutes later. This had obviously been on the cards all week, and it was sheer opportunism by those who never understand the need for secrecy in timings and accurate timekeeping to ensure that all battles run to plan. So I soaked up the pain, because that’s what a good CP does, taking people's momentary annoyance with a smile on one's face and beneath the surface rippling with rage that they doubt your resolve or ability. I was, however mightily pleased I received the first Presidential death threat that the eUK has seen for a while, so I must be doing something right.
On to our strategy. We have been starting early RW's across our eastern regions, while Poland barrel north through the westfold. They will be releasing the regions as and when deemed safe, because this administration has received credible intelligence that the US are a threat to our security, at a heightened level to previous months. However we shall not let this deter us from continuing our war with Ireland, who have made no serious attempt at peace since a bizarre deal that was put to our congress by their CP, MUFC. He wished to rent NI for 100g a month for 6 months, but failed to secure the support of his congress. I am open to a peace deal, but it will have to financially benefit the UK, so Irish congress think hard about what you can offer us, an accord, or your swords. I want to thank everyone who has helped out in supply, and all our friends and countrymen who have so far fought to free us.
Domestics: My next article will deal with planned changes to the official eUK forums - the offsite home of our community, and how you can get involved. This will be in the form of voting in the comments section on proposed ideas that hopefully will endear and engage more players to be active over there!
I hope to follow through on an election pledge by increasing the NHS daily supply. This is by using some extra cash the government recently stumbled upon in a lost org. We reset the account and found a great horde of XXXg (three figures but redacted) - I want to use this to up the amount at least until the end of term, and my successor can take a decision based on what I pass on in the treasury. I am looking for our reserves (the value of the assets the government has in liquid monetary form) to be anywhere from 1 to 1.5 million GBP depending on how carry out MM fishing, and the final cost of the war (it hasn't been too bad, but enough to make a dent.)
Hope to update you with more tomorrow, and mainly expand on those domestic points!

I made a little troll prison above!
the Poland plan wasn't secret, if it was meant to be it was the orst kept secret ever and also the most pointless one too... as soon as they had a free NE it would be heading towards the Argies, providing they had a border.
And I quote dip-poo "This had obviously been on the cards all week" But timings of double attacks, assurances of Ireland being put on it's back and held down, and the planning of the stages still yet to come, I could obviously not shout about. Those were the things for which I was attacked, and unjustly so fool.
"it was sheer opportunism by those who never understand the need for secrecy in timings and accurate timekeeping to ensure that all battles run to plan."
Waiting until Poland can NE and then getting guys up in the morning nice and early to launch a RW attack. Sounds like every other eUK war tbf. Either way the conduct of those 'in the know; during the Argie offensive led to much confusion and the criticism is not entirely unfounded.
Hi Wayne, I was going to humour you, but I've now got something to talk about. Holding together a country when people are bawwwwing magnificently is something no one can teach you, or make you properly understand. not even 10 odd terms in cabinet prepared me for the pressure. Yes, I completely agree that most (there IS more to come) of the stuff involves normal procedure, but for people to know full well that help was a) On the way b) Organised at great effort, not least by me, but by Beta, Mada, Talon and our great allies, and yet still stir shit is galling, and underlines why we can't have nice things.
It's pretty easy to ignore the baw and you didn't 'hold the country' together', it was never falling apart in the first place. Those dropping the damage at personal cost to themselves have every right to question your performance and that of the MoD and it's choice of priority. More information could have been given, which would have nullified the claims that you did nothing.
Sorry lol'd hard at the alert I got:
WayneKerr and WayneKerr replied to this comment. Good work admins.
I wasn't saying that "I" was the one doing all the country holding. I don't know where this assumption that I'm trying to make myself look like the best CP ever has come from. I'll settle for what perception/approval people have of me, as long as the eUK gets back on the map. More information could NOT have been given, or I would have done it. MERIOD.
o/ and wd!
Actually, Irish congress just didn't want me to pay ya 100 golds for Northern Ireland. They wouldn't object to it tho. But yeah, after re-thinking it would be pretty stupid to pay for something which belongs to us anyway.
I did offered you peace within our original regions too. You rejected it, you should think twice next time when you do that.
Cya on battlefield.
As I said, no serious attempt at peace was made. Enjoy your wipe.
For a recently wiped country ur p arrogant brah 😉)
Arrogance is possessive and passionate. Mediocrity yours by your own making. We do not sow.
it'll be either us or Poland. Your f'cked
Forgive me, I just don't understand the strange and, in my opinion, laughable pride you show. How can you beat your chest at all when someone else has to fight your battles for you? Didn't you have a chance to show me the error of my thought tonight in Scotland? http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/belfast-lough-times-290678/1
because we don't give a shit about a non-nation occupying our region when we have to deal with a nation like Argentina - we can always RW them free later and kick your sorry arse
For someone who doesn't give a proverbial shit, you sure are spending a lot of time playing spindoctor with a cat who's only been back in the game a little more than a week. I'd think a minister would be a little more cool than that, a little more together, a little less likely to get rattled. Sorry I overestimated you. Be well.
"Gondor? Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell? Where was Gondor when our enemies closed in around us? Where was Gon.. No, my lord Aragorn, we are alone."
Case in pointL Going to comeback to win an overnight RW against Argentina, with great supplying and help from allies without MPP battle. Now that, dear fellow, is pod-racing.
Without Argentina, you're doomed.
Have fun with the several months long permawipe we shall generously bestow upon you
As Speaker of the House, eUK's Congress didn't want 100G either. Seems we agree on something!
Funny cuz ur President never mentioned that 😃
Brace urselves, another pointless war on the way o7
I'm the King b*tch I was born braced
Maybe you shouldn't have started this war if it is going to be pointless. If allies are not involved, enjoy death in front of our tanks. Your country is nearly as strong as my MU, well done to you.

Voted. All seems fine here. 😃
Voted...and no I am not going to comment on Ando's p*ss poor Jedi mind trick
...anyway i am off as everything seems fine here
It would be very amusing is this term is cheaper than BigAnt's war on Norway.
you mean Canada + Norway + NL
Come on get your facts correct young boy
After all the childish ways you act on this, Im afraid you of all people are in no position to be calling anybody "young boy"
Combined their population is almost 10% of Argentina's.
99% of argie population is Div 1 hurr durr, i can go all day baby, your story is flawed
Why is it that these articles only seem to generate tons of mud-slinging?
Because Jimbo is doing a pretty decent job while some people wanted to use the wipe as a perfect example of his imcompentence to get themselfs or friends into power.
Sad to see to be honest.
Preach it Spygon
Word.
I think dan moir made a very intresting post in the forums recently which proved that some of the biggest brawlers and shouters had infact not even had a single kill to there name in weeks to help the UK.
Yeah Jimbo and TUP did nothing of the sort when they where out of power. Wait is that right?
Pretty much Goku but as you said they were always in power
And what of the baby boom!
The only real way to increase our military and diplomatic strength, make us better allies, and prevent invasion happening again, yet that has fallen completely by the wayside.
We need babies damn it!
Broody female comment. lol
you can't force people to play q:
No you cant. But you can advertise it and get people playing.
