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! :'(

Ironic that you mentioned Nazis.

There are some people who have become obsessed with the idea that if you don't wear a poppy you're some kind of warmonger.

They go around and try and shame people about it. I don't know why they just don't hound out white feathers.

Honestly it's just people with nothing better to do with their lives then harang everyone else for not exactly conforming to their personal worldview.

That's a bit much. Like yeah, if someone asked "should I wear a poppy", I'd 100% encourage them to. But there's no sense harassing someone who doesn't lol.
