Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Maybe one day this country will be ready to admit it was a stupid idea
I think everyone who supported it has to die first.
To wit:
People still defend the Iraq war
Nobody defends the invasion of Suez.
There are plenty who supported the Iraq war at the time who now pretend they did not. Its a bit old now but this survey was pretty enlightening at the time as it showed people not just changing their mind but also outright pretending they never supported it in the first place: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/surveys-reveal-how-we-remember-not-supporting-war-in-iraq-but-at-the-time-we-did-support-it-a37171.html
Brexit will be no different, it will still have a minority of true believers.
