UKIP says 'duck-off' to pond plan
Monday, 5th April 2010

UK schoolchildren are to be taught that Britain is part of France, Sweden, Denmark and a whole host of other European Countries – and that the English Channel is actually called ‘the Anglo-French Pond’.

In a shock move by Brussels bureaucrats, the UK taxpayer will pay over £1m to send schools new atlases that critics say wipe out 1000 years of history.

In the new maps, designed to foster ‘cultural identification within this transfrontier region’ Britain is parcelled off to different parts of the continent under the Espace Manche Development Initiative.

Southern England, from Cornwall to Kent, is joined with northern France and becomes known as the TransManche zone. Its capital is Paris and it has its own socialist president, Alain Le Vern.

The West of Britain is parcelled off with parts of France, Spain and Portugal as part of a new Atlantic region.

Eastern Britain along with Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Norway becomes the North Sea region. And Scotland breaks away from Britain to become part of the Northern Periphery with parts of Norway, Greenland, Iceland and Finland.

The mapmakers state: "The Channel has become a zone of multiple interacting and overlapping activities.

"It is a shared space, a small Anglo-French internal sea; the interplay of activities both on and around what has become known as the Anglo-French Pond"

Eurocrats also admit they are trying to undo the work of geographer Ptolemy who named the Channel the Oceanus Britannicus in the second century AD.

The Conservatives are playing politics with the issue, claiming that Labour are spending money on wiping our nation off the map. However, the Tories fail to mention they themselves could do little to stop the plans, since they agree with Labour and the Lib Dems that the UK should stay in the EU, where 75% of the UK’s laws are determined.

The only major party to advocate leaving the EU, UKIP, is outraged by the plans.

Nigel Farage MEP said: “You couldn’t make this up. If this information had come out a last week, most people would have thought it was an April Fool’s joke.

“This new map shows that the lunatics really have taken over the asylum.”

UKIP has launched its biggest ever manifesto for the 2010 general election, with the Party fielding a record number of parliamentary candidates this year.

Obvious bollocks. I'd be amazed if there was any truth behind it.

And thou had nary a doubt of the veracity of these bold claims?


Bull****, mate.

Yes, but it's the UKIP website.

U. U-kip. Kiip! Kip! Ukip kip!




Me U-kipping about is more intelligent than the actual Ukip nonsense.


And for the love of ****, it's "I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-C-E". Okay?!

Well...This is saddening. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-403522/New-map-Britain-makes-Kent-France--German-idea.html

Yes, I know it's the daily mail, but I doubt even they'd make the whole thing up, they're usually content to twist things horribly.

...Actually, I just googled trans manche region. This ****s real 

 

[Almalexia]

At least it might get rid of that annoying British superiority complex.

 

[Taimat396]

Good point. Now then, I'm off to go see a therapist about my 'the sky is blue' compex

It's going to be a total non-story. I'm willing to put money on it.

Well, I'm not, but that's not because I'm uncertain, it's just that I don't really have any money

Good point. Now then, I'm off to go see a therapist about my 'the sky is blue' compex 

WORD

 

[Almalexia]

Eh, we'll see when the Danes come raiding around your neck of the woods again, and see where that superiority complex goes.

But seriously, wasn't this exact same 'story' in The Sun about a year, two years ago?

I remember it distinctly, there was even a map. IIRC it was as much bollocks then as it is now. I think it was actually to do with administrative regions rather than anything important, but someone thought it would make a good headline if Britain was being split up.

But everything south of Yorkshire is already in ****ing France.

Less garlic.

 

[FrisianDude]

So it's better?

 

[El Perro Finlandese]

Northern Periphery? NORTHERN PERIPHERY?!? WHAT ARE THEY CALLING NORTHERN PERIPHERY?!
