 Nom and For Came across this article this morning. Decent British humour that deserves a feature. Sir ScottPat (converse) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 10:04, April 5, 2015 (UTC)- For. A few things to brush up on: grammar, dates (I thought Britain broke in the '60s?) and lack of mention of obesity and recreational drugs.

- Feel free to make the changes where appropriate. Sir ScottPat (converse) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 10:52, April 8, 2015 (UTC)
- For. I'm American and hence unfamiliar with the topic of "Broken Britain", but I found it quite relatable in some ways to stuff here in the states. It's a fun read, though maybe on the verge of basically being a big list; still, the jokes made me laugh. Chunkles ☎ talk ✏️ contribs 02:13, July 12, 2015 (UTC)

- I confess: I don't know what the title refers to, nor what the "historical document" referred to in the Intro is, if not the article itself. It is a fun read about old coots longing for the Good Old Days, but the above questions make me wonder whether it is yet another punch line waiting to be searched for. I'd prefer a real-world cover and not just a title with alliteration. Spıke Ѧ 23:41 18-Apr-15
- Comment. "Broken Britain" is a well known expression and the historical document is the article itself. Giving "Broken" a capital b is a bit misleading I now see: perhaps it should be moved? ~EveryOtherUsernameWasTaken(dtf?) 18:48, April 27, 2015 (UTC)
- Better to delete the word "Before"? as you have just created a redirect that assumes that this is what people will be looking for. Spıke Ѧ 18:52 27-Apr-15
- No because it takes the concept of broken Britain but is literally about before broken Britain. It wouldn't make much sense without "before". ~EveryOtherUsernameWasTaken(dtf?) 10:56, April 28, 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree. The page title doesn't have to accurately describe the treatment the author is going to give the subject; it should be the subject the reader would search for. Spıke Ѧ 12:10 28-Apr-15
- To me, calling it broken Britain would obscure the joke a little and wouldn't reflect the content of the article. The text would seem innappropriate under "Broken Britain". Also I'm going to back-track on my suggestion to use a small 'b' because there is indeed a wikipedia article that shows it capitalised. ~EveryOtherUsernameWasTaken(dtf?) 16:27, April 28, 2015 (UTC)
