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! :'(

People know that a sub-community is like a subset. A smaller part of the larger community. Not a lower class of people.

Right?

How it's explained and how it's intended don't have to be the same. Although I don't think badenoch is witty enough to have meant it both ways. She probably just wanted to say subhuman and substituted community and lucky for her it works.

Honestly, I think people only want to hear the hateful version and aren't interested in even considering that somebody is trying to broach a sensitive subject that needs to be discussed.

How about we get past our preconceptions and try to work the problems out. No? Guess we all fucked then.
