I’ll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don’t understand how people hype it.

Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

    I’m going to just go ahead and run into oncoming traffic…

    Northern Ireland should be given back to Ireland.

    England, Scotland, and Wales should become independent countries with an open border & trade policy between them and the newly reunified Ireland.

    And any of those countries should be free to choose to rejoin the EU if they have not already done so.

    :)

      Only if London fucks off and becomes a city-state.

      Being the casual community I’d hope that people would stay clear of politics to keep it light hearted, but looking at the community rules it doesn’t prohibit politics.

        You can’t steer clear of politics. Everything is political. Whoever told you otherwise was trying to manipulate you with lies.

          You can easily steer clear of politics, unless you’re an absolute bore who constantly wants to twist any conversation into a political one. Nobody told me this, it’s just obvious.

      Northern Ireland should be given back to Ireland.

      It really pains me, as someone from Northern Ireland. How people just assume that it’s that simple. Both that NI was “stolen” from Ireland and that it’ll be a quick and simple job to bring them together.

      Federate the UK! Though I think England is too big and needs to be broken into chunks roughly even with Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Massively decentralize.
