General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

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. (These things should be publicly discussed)

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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I was listening to an interview with him on the radio earlier. Seems he was binned for pretty minor disagreements. Hopefully, he can make a go of it as an independent.

Mod hat on: I'll leave this up for now, but it's not ideal to directly link a fundraiser to start a discussion.

@[email protected] , fancy swapping the link out to something like this or this?

Does he dare go against the will of the Lord Witchunter, Sir Kid Starver? Is he a heretic?
