A passionate plea for Teambritain, can we rival the Aussies?steemCreated with Sketch.

C'mon British Steemians it's time to stand up and be counted.

I wrote this post 11 days ago now in the hope I could rally the British Steemians into action so we could form a collective to help each other in the same way the brilliant and talented @sirknight has done in Australia.

click below to read but please put comments at the bottom of this post.

This post got me more Upvotes from Aussies than Brits! Why is that?

Is this great land of ours so divided that we can't come together to join forces to help each other here on Steemit?

I refuse to accept that!

The British Steemians who stood up to be counted and either reached out in the post, Upvoted or contacted me in other ways are named here as they are the first members of what will hopefully be a great community.

They were:- @podod @abh12345 @flatrider @sixteen4narchist @ckz @rickyjrx @zeus1 @zoobeedoo and @perceptualflaws
If there are more of you that Upvoted and I missed you please accept my apologies.

Not many but a start. I know there are more of you out there.

The post recieved Upvotes from a number of Steemians many with a rep above 60 and into the 70's from all over the world, Australia, Mexico, USA, Germany, The Philipines and Sweden.

What does that tell you? It tells me that the world wants to see us have a go at uniting.

As you all can see from my avatar I'm English but I have many friends from Scotland, Ireland and Wales and I love the four countries as we are so diverse. But deep down we have a unspoken commonality which has always brought us together in adversity. Let's use that commonality to come together here at Steemit and at least gives the Aussies a run for their money.

I love the rivalries we have within this island but it doesn't mean we can't come together here right now to form a union that no politician, race, religion or sport can divide.

What do you say? Are you up for it?

A union of like minded Steemians from all over this great land will be a formidable force and for those of us that love to write and wish to take it to the next level it could be the best support network yet.
The minnowsupportproject is amazing and @aggroed and the other witnesses and greeters at Discord have been amazingly supportive to so many minnows like myself.

I feel my posts have got better in the last few weeks as a result of the challenges set by @aggroed in promoting and supporting the cause, so if you are reading this but aren't sure what I'm talking about please click the links below read the information and join up.

I won 20SBD last week for a post and the boost it gave me was worth so much more than the money. Validation for the work you are doing is priceless and these support networks give it in spades.

I promise it will help you to better yourself as a writer as the support is constant.

If you're still not sure you need help, take a look at my post from Friday and look at the amount of votes and comments.
These posts were created because of and due to the help I have recieved in recent days.

So what do you say?

Teambritain, TeamUK, Teambritishlions? It can be anything we like. We just need to get it started.

Please put a comment below letting me know if you're interested in joining, give your opinion of the team name, help come up with ideas for logos for the team, please show support if you are witness or whale if you think this is a good idea.
You don't need to be living in Britain or be British. I would like to see all the Brit expats and backpackers sign up and well as anyone from anywhere who would like to be their countries ambassador.
I was nominated by @sirknight as British Ambassador to Australia and I'm proud of that. For people in the USA, Australia and Canada there could be state representatives too.
So please put your comments below and let's make this thing happen.

And let's make Steemit the place where everyone wants to be.

Watch out team Australia, we're coming for ya!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dirty how dare you I had a bath last week. No soap though 😂😂
Cheers for popping in babe

Hahahahhaha Pommy shower eh? A cold washcloth for the good ol' pits with some deodorant :') Pommy shower one-o-one :') <3 I love my dirty poms. All my best friends live in the UK <3

That's cause it's full of Aussies!
When I returned to London I only employed Aussies and kiwis.

Loving it AM. SK.

Sexual Chocolate is in.

Yeeahhh! Mother F*cker!
We're on a roll now baby.

You betcha ass man!
If you want in you're in.
Welcome my friend.
Follow me at @tremendospercy
We'll all follow each other for support.
Thx for reaching out.

@tremendospercy I think you will have a hard time competing with #teamaustralia. Since leaving the white cliffs of dover over 200 years ago, the Aussie spirit and determination has overcome being flung to the other side of the world and I am afraid to say that the British comrades will just not be able to compete.

I wish you luck though and am happy to join in and support your noble cause to promote the platform and support others wherever I can!

Sounds like fighting talk to me! 😜

I'm in, see if we can show these great flaming galahs a thing or two!

😂 I haven't heard that in years!
Those stupid things were always flying into the front grill of my cars down under.
Thanks for the flash back dude.

Haha, pleasure dude! My attempt at trying to incite a bit of friendly banter with our Ozzie friends 😁

We got a try though buddy.
Cheers for the support @scooter77 and the support of all @teamaustralia

A country which has yet to discover cold beer doesn't sound like much of a threat.
Perhaps a spoon full of sugar helps it go down.

Sir .Our beer is warm because of our awesome weather.
And if we don't challenge you guys who will. I've not seen any kiwi banter yet.
Besides I hope to arrange a diplomatic visit to your beautiful shores so I can jump ship.
Thanks for commenting dude and keep up the banter I'm sure it'll help the cause.
@tremendospercy
Followed buddy I like your style.

Haha

Hi I am a Brit! Count me in. I also designed this British Steemit Logo, (https://steemit.com/steemitcommunity/@hopehuggs/steemit-national-community-identity-united-kingdom-steemit-logo)

You are so in, what a great logo.
I'll write another post in a couple of days to do a sort of press release.
Follow me at @tremendospercy for more good stuff
Thanks for reaching out.
I've followed you

#TeamGB all the way sir!
I'm in and I'll rope the missus (@scarletleonard) in too :)

C'mon an ashes series beckons 😆

She is followed. Any girl that'll stick to you must be formidable 😂

I am British and proud. I hail from England but have connections with Wales and Scotland. I stand with you my friend.

Let's make Britain Great Again!

Cup of tea anyone?

Top man, earl grey for me!😂

Psst....I don't do tea either, vile stuff

Ill drink both your share of tea then. :')
But I want a damn crumpet too please and thank you!? :')

Anything for you. I'll swap for a slab of Carlton cold and Steak sandwich - the lot.
Oh yeah

Arghhhh! the yeast beast!!!!! >_<
Steak sammich?
That I can do. I think Steemfest next year....In Australia.

That would be awesome. I wonder if I will get a diplomatic passport?
Now THAT would be awesome.

lmao

Ill stamp it diplomatic for you, how does that sound Mr. Ambassador? :')

Nice. If I can't be arrested I can smack that git Turdball in the mouth. 👍😜

That would be smashing sir!

A crumpet too perhaps?

Righty ho sir! You have the backing of the-sassy-owl! - Anyone heard of professor elemental? if not check out his stuff you guys will love it ;)

Nice one sassy.
We're getting team together now.

Count me in my friend, I did resteem the original post and I'm definitely up for it. I've just be learning all things minnowsupportproject for the last week or so, but lets make this happen!

Top man

Our Queen is still their Queen ! I'm in

Thanks for that mate.

Really hope Canada gets something

You can be the Canadian ambassador or state representative.

Cheers buddy.

About time you pommy buggers got yu ass into gear
even if you are following in the footsteps of a..........well I wont say that....lol

😱

lol not sure what that is im to old and blind to understand them

I'm up for this. I am literally in the process of becoming a witness to fund a marketing campaign to get more Brits involved. There's a lot but not enough of us on here.
I should have my server up and running in a couple of days and happy to fully support this.
In terms of a name, all that came in to my head was "The Steeming Brits" but I'll keep thinking.
Great idea and let me know as and when on how to join.

You're in buddy.
I like the name too. Someone already said SteemGB which is also good.
I'll give this post a week to attract as much interest as possible. I'm promoting it on Steemchat and discord.
After that we'll see what we've got and I'l write a press release announcement post.
Thx for checking in and supporting the cause.
@tremendospercy I've followed you we all need to stick together.

Awesome, let's do this!
As I said I'm becoming a witness to push for funding for marketing on the UK but if some of those funds need to go towards beating the Aussies I think that is well spent!!

That would be awesome. I'm really starting to feel we can do this.
What a community.
Thanks @addamm for the support is very much appreciated.

Oooow SteemGB is good...

I'm in, RAWR!

Excellent another member. We're getting there, slowly but surely.
Thanks buddy.

This is so cool you gave us shoutouts! Thank you bro. This is the kick into action I needed! I'm still trying to upload content daily (:

There's loads more support now.
This post seems to have got it kicked started.
Did you try doing another introduction post without flipping everyone off yet? 😂
If not wait.
Join discord and get yourself aload of followers by joining Streemian and Steemvoter. The instructions are in all of my last few posts. The one from yesterday and Friday are cool as they are piss take posts. But the info for joining the minnowsupportproject is solid.
Check how my votes have gone up in the last week or so.
You have a good message to give people if you tone it down a tiny bit.
Cheers for checking in.

I've done a couple of intro posts now 😂 I just wanted to help, I do have quite a few followers now, so I could be of value.

👍

WE may have spawned from the loins of our british forebears but we have something that the Brits dont, apart from cold beer, meat pies, chicko rolls, holden utes and drop bears. We have the DRIVE, and whats more that drive pushes us aussies to beat everything that our colonial masters try. Think Rugby, cricket, darts drinking copious amounts of alcohol on a plane. so sadly mate, you'd never rival us Aussies, but we will enjoy the spectacle of watching you try.

Best of luck @tremendospercy :) :) :)

Chicko rolls are nothing to brag about!
Dude, they were awful. And to be fair the best pies I had "down under" were Ponsonby pies in New Zealand. Although I will say that Shakespears pies on the Corso in Manly where I lived for years are a close second.
Darts, are you kidding me!?
Rugby and cricket I'll concede for now but the next ashes series and rugby World Cup may change the bragging rights.
Rugby League "footy" is played by a very small amount of people in the north of England so it's yours.
Drinking!? Yeah right. Your beer is better no doubt, I still pay a premium to get my hands on my favourite Aussie beers but drinking itself, no, no.
Both of our countries are rank amateurs compared to our friends in Eastern Europe. I've been on the piss with Russians, Ukrainians etc and I tell you those buggers can drink. Until we can compete with those guys we should both keep our gobs shut.
You love beating us because as you say we were your colonial masters and you drive to better us. But to us you are just another country that feels that way, half the world hates us because of the past so its water off a ducks back.
The Queen is still on your money so GB is still your colonial master!
Until you guys stand up and tell Turdball and his ilk that it's about time you ruled you own destiny and ditched the British ruling elite your always going to have that "drive" because it's an inferiority complex!
I support the Aussies in ditching the Royals, because maybe then we'll have a better chance at the Rugby & Cricket.
We may be number 2 to you guys but for now and may never eclipse you but I'll take that. It is after all a big world and we are 2 small countries that are dominating Steemit so it's all good.
TeamGB is coming 🤘😜🤘

@tremendospercy how do you feel about dual citizenship?

Jealous 😂😂
You're welcome to join our ranks too in any capacity you like,provided it doesn't get you in hot water with teamaustralia 😉

Hey!
I am officially answering your war call! Won't bend the knee but you'll get a curt nod :D
Newish to all this, so is there a discord/steemit.chat channel where I can find out the battle plans?
Cheers!

That's great dude I'll write a new post with all the new recruits in a few days.
Check my latest 2 posts about the discord story. Links are embedded.
Enjoy.
