welcome onboard viking

[cuppa T]

Blimey, sooo many people from Blighty already

I'm sure others have been a more than a tad disheartened by the bullying dominance exhibited on fora elsewhere, I surely hope that won't happen here, there is a true spirit of friendliness and co-operation but 'tis awfully early days so all fingers and toes are crossed.

My heartfelt thanks for setting up this place, 'twas much desired and is much appreciated.

Personally I'm not convinced a rally is justifiable just yet but maybe that's just my misunderstanding of the terminology, a meetup of some sort sounds like a good idea - anyone care to suggest some form of agenda? Any venue suggestions should most certainly include camping options and train/bus accessibility for the less mobile or financially challenged amongst us.

Good luck to everyone from a fella on a flood plain!

(hello Slough, you're just up the road from me, a few miles west of Reading)

ps: has anyone else noticed the irony of the title wording in this thread "Unitied" - never was a truer word writ given our current commitments...

Hi cuppa T

I wouldn't call it a rally but more of a personal get together for people with the same interests. I't would help for us to get to know each other and form communities, just in the event the worst were to ever happen. Doesn't have to be "end of the world" orientated. I'm sure many of us felt alone in our views and this is the perfect platform to get together, and if the worst did happen we would have a good chance.

Cheers

Agreed, an informal chat over a fine pint of ale (or cuppa T of course ) would seem to be the British way of starting things orff...

[Caladan]

Well said.

A beer is good

Or a cuppa tea is good

Hello all.

I currently live in Farnborough, Hampshire.

I am however, not English but Swiss!

Agree with Bill, Switzerland is a beautiful, efficent country. However I'd like to point out that should tshtf - it probably won't be very welcome to the non-swiss who aren't already there.

I grew up in the USA and have always considered myself American, after living there for 25 years I was deported back to my home country of Switzerland ( Long story which I will probably share someday). So,you might see some of my more "American" views come out, but if I get too uppity just let me know!

Today I find myself in the beautfiul, yet rainy country of England.

It's from there that I send a very friendly hello to this great new forum!

Hi Verity
Welcome to a Swiss American Brit!
You're just down the road to me in Dorset so maybe we'll get together sometime.
Yes I have found Switzerland to be super efficient but isn't that all based on the economic system?
If money collapses Switzerland will be floundering in the manure with the rest of us - except we may be planting potatoes in the muck!

If I'm correct... don't people wo have a British passport have the EU privilege to move and work in Switzerland without the visa red tape?

Switzerland is not part of the EU.

However they are part of the EEC - Which is why I can work and live in the UK with no problems.

To live in Switzerland you need a permit. Alas it's not as easy to go there as it is for me to come here, seems abit unfair I know.

The thing about the Swiss is that they are very self sufficent. Their economy is largley based on providing financial services to the rest of the world.

And I do hope that through this forum friendships can be made both online and offline.

Networking is good for survival!

Any shouts from West Sussex or Brighton here? Listening... Waiting for U

Hi,

I'm in Bristol here. I'm well up for meeting anybody for tea and cake sometime. I need to talk to like-minded people. Living in conspiracy central on your own is not a healthy space I feel.

I know what you mean pal. It's great to finally have a place like this to chat to like minded folk in the same country.

Yeah totally, but you know how people are stigmatised by the whole thing. i suppose i've been indoctrinated somewhat into believing that we are all crazies... and of course there does appear to be quite a lot of delusion around the place.

Nice to see a few people from Bristol, my old home town (city).

Hi all

Great to see so many Brits announcing themselves, but it seems a bit chaotic at the moment. For that reason I just started another regional specific thread for my area called Midlands UK. I'll still keep monitoring this thread (no point in cutting ourselves off from each other because of circumstantial geography) but it should help us get a clearer idea of who's where.

It's also ideal for any passing MiB of course, so make sure you ask for photo ID before you open the door to strangers. And make sure you're suitably armed just in case ...

hi there

[Zelphael]

Great to see loads more UK people around!

*hugs and waves of love and light to all*

If you know anyone else in real life who is into this stuff, let them know about Project Avalon and get them to sign up!

[mikey]

Hey people...it has already been said i know but i would just like to say how good it is to see so many brits on here. Amazing turn out so far and only more people are going to join and more importantly learn.

If co-operation is a duty, I hold that non-co-operation also under certain conditions is equally a duty - Gandhi

Hi everybody

My name is Andy and my family and I reside in Colchester, Essex. For a while now, my wife and I have been facing the fact that we may have to leave the UK for reasons stated by Bill Ryan earlier in this thread.

However...

My wife and I both dearly want to stay in the UK because we love it. Not in a jingoistic/nationalistic sense but, as we walk the countryside of the UK, we both feel a love in the land that remains despite our troubled times. You only need to experience places like Stonehenge, Avebury, Silbury Hill, Callanish Stones in Scotland, etc, etc, to see that there was once magic in these isles.

I was lucky enough to live in Wales for 2 years and I echo a previous poster in this thread when I say that I think Wales would be a fine setting for a new community. I believe the word "Wales" derives from an old Saxon word meaning "foreigner" as that is where the native Britons were forced when the Saxons invaded. I found a sense of community and identity still existing there, together with a rich agricultural tradition (which led me to become interested in growing my own organic veg, which I still do).

Perhaps that is where we will all end up, coming together from all corners of the Land, gathering to proclaim a new era of peace and prosperity for all.

That's my dream, anyway...

Hey peeps. UK massive in the house. I know the PTB know im in the uk anyway so whatever. Sometimes amongst your own friends you feel like the only one awake so its good to see you all. All my mates glaze over when I talk about this stuff....nobody cares, they just want to get drunk. Ho hum....personally though I feel the Uk will be wiped out! Why have the windors also purchased land in southern america? Maybe they should go back to Germany

[Antaletriangle]

Yeah i know what yer mean-everyone thinks i'm crackers when i pipe up abite real important stuff like everything that everyone else ignores.All my mates are bothered abite is eastenders,football ,cars and ale!!I get so disheartened and feel so lonely in this life and my outlooks just don't seem to gel with most.Anyway we're all here now so what the heck!!lol.Great site-addictive also!

[Kate]

I believe we need to be following along with this and doing our bit to raise awreness in the public as fast as poss! The more people who are mentally/physically prepared for dramatic change then the better it will be for all in readiness for re-building our communities!
