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! :'(

Will the UK be the world superpower again? I hope so, and I hope you have the power to call the Yanks back to order, because were seriously off course.
Haha lol no we've got no influence any more. We're just a wet little island covered with transphobes. Give us 20 years to rejoin the EU, if it survives that long, and maybe you'll start hearing from us again.
I think saying that the island is covered in transphobes is doing the UK a huge disservice. I'm absolutely not saying things are perfect here and of course there are a few absolute knob heads, but the UK is one of the most accepting countries in the world and the diversity of the UK shows that.
Don't let a few bigots paint a picture of the whole country.
