30 year old Indian lawyer from Mumbai. I follow politics everywhere and have lurked on UKPR for years. Just came across this site recently. I am right wing in my politics and a supporter of the BJP in India (though I have voted for the Marxists in the past). I am a massive Anglophile and support Brexit passionately. Hope to learn more on UK politics and contribute on the international politics threads which look really fascinating.

Good evening all. I'm an active Liberal Democrat member in Lincoln. Other interests include Doctor Who and baking... I have been known to combine the baking and politics by making cakes and suchlike for my fellow activists when we go out campaigning. I first joined the Liberal Democrats in 2017 after having been a previously floating (but mainly Conservative voter). I've been out and about this very day delivering Lib Dem leaflets to the good people of Lincoln.

Hello there. Thanks for the accept. Fresh of the boat (so to speak) from south Africa, been here for a year next month. A lot to learn about elections and parties and such. But I will learn and get an understanding so I can make a calculated vote and contribute towards this already magnificent country. In south Africa, no matter what or who you voted for, it was all corrupt and nothing ever changed for the better.. they say they are doing it for the people but it ends up being turned so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, so please forgive me for not just diving right in and believing people when they say they care about the people and ot for them selves.. 36years I have had bad experience with politicians and corrupt leadership so I'm warming up to the idea.. but knowing how your systems work in this country compared to South Africa, it's a welcoming treat... even your postal service works and its delightful.. so thank you for being an amazing country and my wife and I are looking forwards to adding value. Love and light

As a half Yellowbelly it's good to have a poster on here from Lincolnshire of the correct colour! 😀

Round here Andrew Pierce is known by another nickname and not a very complementary one.

You can have whatever opinions of Pierce you want, but your prior use of disgusting tropes such as "Gay Uncle Tom" should shame you. The left owns neither the minds nor the consciences of gay men.

Given you are in favour of Gay marriage I don't see what your issue is here.

If you wish to defend his stances then feel free. It's odd that some Tory gays feel the need to defend other Tory gays irrespective of some of their views. Pierce has also been involved in some well publicised cases where he has used his position to smear others.

Welcome, this isnt Andrew Pierce is it? Uses that as his twitter handle I don't believe so. Can we bring this argument to a close now please? This is supposed to be a thread for new members to introduce themselves.
