Given I’ve already posted I guess I should introduce myself. My name is David, I’m 24, I live in Dundee, Scotland but I’m originally from Carlisle, Cumbria. I’m a Conservative but most of all I’m a Unionist. Politically I’m on the moderate right, with a slight nationalist tinge, and I’m a Brexiteer. I’m also a huge history nerd, especially German history.

Welcome young man, interesting combination of political thinking you have particularly the "slight nationalist tinge", perhaps if you stick around long enough I could convince you of the commonsense of becoming a nationalist of another kind - a Scottish Nationalist

Although I doubt you could convince me to support independence, then again to quote Keynes, at least I think it was him, “When the facts change. I change my mind”. So anything is possible.

I should probably do an introduction as well. I'm Thomas, I'm a strongly anti-Brexit member of the Labour Party (how do I get my political leaning updated on my profile?). Originally from Bedfordshire, I now live in Gloucestershire (Stroud constituency). I consider myself a socialist, an atheist and a republican with some very socially liberal views. I consider myself a patriot, but in no way a nationalist, what else is there......? Oh yes, I also speak three languages!

Inheritance is a wonderful thing Inheritance tax is a wonderful thing ☺ I'm hoping this game of Bedfordshire ping pong can continue for a while. It's a very promising start lads.

The more anti-Brexit, socially liberal, non-nationalist patriots from Stroud we can get on here, the better. I hope you are bending David Drew's ear on the Brexit thing!

Why is German history bad, sir? It's not. In fact, it's positively fascinating. I just think that someone who has read lots about it and is still in favour of a contemporary ruinous, populist, separatist folly of a project either hasn't understood it or wasn't paying attention. Equally I can't see how a real patriot in this country can have a less than sensible position regarding the monarchy. To be fair, we already have plenty of members here with their own idiosyncratic and eclectic mix of positions. I suppose I just thought it'd be to have some new faces with logical, coherent, rational views... like mine. Anyhow, the more the merrier, I say. ETA: But these are of course all issues we can discuss in more detail in the relevant threads.

Does anyone know what's happened to the person who used to run this forum, namely Kristofer Keane? (Hope he doesn't mind me asking).
