UK Politics
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! :'(

Can't wait for a Brexin and have them losing all the special treatment they used to have as members of the Union!
As much as I hate Brexin as a name. Brin is better.
Honestly, us brits that watched from the mid 80s. (was born in 70). And supported the EU agree with you.
We had a huge majority to join in 74. But never really seemed to feel a part of the union.
Much of it was our gov and media blaming the EU for crap. Heck, to the point, the EU had a website dedicated to UK press lies.
But none of the UK press seemed to take up that story until Brexit. When the harm was already done. Even then it was minimal.
Honestly, we seem to have some of the most corrupt press in Europe.
Yep, the media really fuck us over. Ran by oligarchs, most of them
i mean the uk never felt a part of the union because they demanded special treatment to keep them different like not adopting the euro, etc.
It was always destined to be that dumb.
Worth it, tho. I'm in.
