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 dunno why these chowder heads think they are the kind of people that will get raptured. "Oo I do lots of evil shitty things but I'm totally going to get chosen by a sky fairy who picks people for doing nice things."

who picks people for doing nice things

That's not what most evangelicals (and the rapture is at this point mostly only subscribed to in its usual sense by US evangelicals so far as I can tell) believe. It's all about the Jesus not the nice.

You're quite right, supply side Jesus seems to have a bit of a different focus than classical nice guy Jesus..

"No-one is the villan of their own story."

They think they are doing more good than harm. It's fucked up, but it's still helpful to understand how they view the world. It makes it easier to predict and counter them.

To them, it's like you threatening to beat up the local priest, while on the way to a major aid drive, because he parked wrongly. They are stepping into stop you interrupting the Lords work! Of course they will be rewarded for that!

Hey, don't bring chowder into this. Chowder is delicious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Delicious but also not known for being particularly bright ..

They are mentally ill sociopaths.

It doesn't make sense because you're trying to ascribe logic where there is none.
