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.

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!

Thank you for visiting @tremendospercy

Thank you to all Steemians who have followed, Upvoted, commented and helped me in the last 5 weeks since I joined, your collective support is an inspiration.
