Another blow against our enemy Democracy. We have shown them that we will not stand for this popular anti video game rabble rousing. Very soon we will be able to unleash the tsunamis of violence in the homes of Britain. Very soon.
UK Anti-Gaming Politician Has Change of Heart
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
Shhhhh, it's too soon to be speaking like that. We can only speak our minds in the secret club-house of secrecy...More Fun To Compute said:
The only reason he's doing this is
1. General Election Coming up.
2. Rocksteady (A UK Developer) won at the Bafta awards.
Calumon: He looks like a potato.

Or he started playing a human pally on wow, either way I don't think this news is really that good. He is a rather tenacious politician; I think it's a ploy of some sort.DarkSaber said:
I personally wouldn't trust him under the circumstances myself, once he's in office and doing things again it becomes difficult to dislodge him. Had he had a change of faith in the midst of his term and been acting differantly then it would be differant. Like Michael Atkinson I'd say he needs to be replaced outright... at least from a gamer perspective. The big question of course being if any of his rivals have a pro-gaming stance. If none of them do then he might be worth the gamble, but only under those circumstances.
Who the devil is that man?
I like to keep relatively up to date on the political status of our wonderful little island (spoiler: they're all manipulative dicks), but he's a new one to me.

Meh. I honestly could not care less who wins the election. All 3 major parties in England are practically mirror images of one another
I doubt that he has changed his mind over whether games are bad for people or not. It's more likely it has been decided that, like many others things that are or are at least deemed to be bad for people politicians can make a lot of money out of taxing people when they buy it.

Frowned upon?, not if used in the right situation like this one. Anyway I completely agree with Englishman it sounds like a trap.SnootyEnglishman said:I'm being compelled to use the words of Admiral Ackbar here
as much as using internet meme's as posting content is getting frowned upon here i feel this applies to the situation
I like to think this is he because he came home early one day, only to find his son blasting away on the 360 he'd secretly been hiding for the last two years.
"Oh my God Timmy what are you doing!? I knew it, I fucking knew it, you're a... a gamer?"
The kid gets up and runs out past him, tears streaming down his face. Mr Vaz is left standing, feeling hollow and confused, his son, his own flesh and blood is the very thing he has been campaigning to eradicate. The thing he hates, that he was certain was against all he held dear.
Thus begins a long journey of introspection and discovery...
