Thanks from all from PoliticsUK

Thanks from all at PoliticsUK


On the 1^st of April 2011 I created PoliticsUK.  It was actually called “Politics in the UK” but a typo error when I was setting up the page missed out the “in the”.  To be honest I prefer PoliticsUK now.

It was never my intention for the page to be anything but a place where a small amount of users could argue the toss about political issues. I thought “If I get 30 likes, I will be well happy!!”  Thirty 'likes' came very quickly (mainly through myself and Richard spamming every political page we knew) and from that came a community which is now striving.

I let you all into a secret. The “likes” that PoliticsUK mean nothing. They don’t give an accurate description of how many people are connected with PoliticsUK. When I post as the page, more than 10000 people see the post.  We have approximate 2000 daily page views, comments are on average double that. What I am trying to say, in a roundabout way, is that without PoliticsUK users, you guys, PoliticsUK would be nothing.

And I write this to thank you for the community that you guys have built.  I feel very privileged for this.


I would like to thank ever single poster, every single person who has interacted in PoliticsUK in any way. Without you..well the page would be very boring!! I would also take time to thank Richard Frazer, without him I would have been lost. I won’t name everyone individually who has supported me because there has been many but they know who they are, but thank you xox.

Thank You.

And from all of PoliticsUK

Happy New Year!!
