   * **The name's Ashdown - Paddy Ashdown** Owing to the former Lib Dem leader's SAS/SBS past and his more recent work knocking heads together in the Balkans, it is customary for him to show up in members' political timelines as a suave agent of the government with a license to kill.
   * **Time-travelling seductions** AlfieJ apparently wants to time-travel back to the 1970s to steal young Hillary Clinton from Bill, and the possibility has been raised that someone on one of the American political threads will take transatlantic revenge by time-travelling themself to seduce young Harriet Harman. More horrifyingly, it has recently been suggested that the Politibrits may  - at some point in the future - gone back in time, with TheDarkMessiah seducing one of Mumby's ancestors, to create a Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather Paradox.
-  * **DJ AndyC** According to [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showpost.php?p=8419618&postcount=4960|an advertisement for an Oxford club]] seen by Broader Liberty, Andy apparently moonlights as a DJ, doubtless creating slammin' mixes about Duverger's Law.

   * **Herefordshire, Pivot of Destiny - Shithole**: Whenever any kind of local politics issue is discussed, Herefordshire Council seems to come up as a particularly flagrant example of whatever's being discussed. As well as this, whenever a Politibrit moans about a local injustice, AlfieJ and Freizeit trump any issue with tales of Herefordshire Council's almost Orwellian history of corruption and un-democratic activities (ie: candidates running unopposed due to all opposition being silenced through legal proceedings). This has since metamorphosed into Herefordshire being the Kevin Bacon of political discussions and somehow always randomly appearing in any current affairs story.
   * **That Picture** The first rule of the Politibrits: You do not talk about the UK Doll Lovers Meet 2010.

   * **The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, starring Henry Bolton**: Due to the superficial similarity between the names of Henry Bolton, UKIP leader hopeful, and Henry Baker, a unsuspecting accessory to the theft of a precious gemstone in the titular Sherlock Holmes story, Tom Colton made it a point to reference said adventure whenever the former turned up in the news, which reached fever pitch during the emergence of his numerous scandals. Attempts to reference the wider corpus have been rebuffed.
   * **oh no**: A meme taken from the recurring punchline of //[[http://webcomicname.com/|Webcomic Name]]// and applied in a similar variety of situations.
+  * **Abraham Lincoln's Defining Characteristic Is His Cheese Obsession**: Stems from Thande once demonstrating the power of online resources to find out that Lincoln ate cheese every day as part of a packed lunch, which is comically exaggerated into cheese being brought up every time Lincoln is.
+  * **Who Is Gordon Brown?**: A reference to a section of a BBC News article involving Brown commenting on current politics, which informed the reader whom the Prime Minister who had served about six years earlier was. Used plain or as a madlib to suggest journalism that treats its readers like ignorant children.
