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! :'(

Jeremy Corbyn enters the War:
Who do you think. You are kidding. Mr. Starmer? If you think we're not running for election. We. Are the Left. Who will stop your little game. We. Are the Left. Who will make you think again. 'Cause who. Do you think. You are kidding Mr. Starmer? If you think old Labour's done?
WAR WITH SPAIN! WAR WITH SPAIN!
The British government finally heeded the call to stop the dastardly Spaniard once and for all, precipitating a wider conflict which split the continent. Switzerland elected to stay neutral, but to put a 5p charge on plastic bags. The French initially sided with Spain, before the Parisian workers gloriously arose, up with the barricades, down with the government, and sided with their British comrades. The Germans seized the moment to reconstitute the Holy Roman Empire, on the basis that no one was paying attention, but overreached with an attempt to reconquer Poland and the Low Countries, to which the Britannic-French People's Alliance responded with remarkable swiftness, cunningly ignoring Belgium et al and striking directly at the heart of the Hun. The Russians, never ones to let a good opportunity to invade Poland from the East pass by, struck simultaneously, leading to the scenario pictured in the map.
We never should have stopped at Berlin.
Someone insulted sausage rolls and beans (the breakfast of champions) and it escalated hard. Europe has always been the board on which we like to play out our grievances anyway.
The UK and France finally putting aside their differences to unite under the same red banner of communism and liberating the rest of Europe from capitalism
