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! :'(
The social contract goes. Only those that are tolerant are tolerated. If you break it you only have yourself to blame.
He's not dead. Sounds like he's being tolerated more than some victims of conservative belief.
So all conservatives are legitimate targets of violence, in your view?
Fascists are - we fought a whole world war about it and everything. Nigel Farage is a fascist.
No, he's not a bloody Fascist. Words mean things.
Yes, they do mean things. I use the word very specifically and deliberately when referring to fascists like Farrage. He is a fascist, in the model of Mussolini more than Hitler
I'd say he's more a quisling, and it's far from coincidental that so many of his talking points exactly match those in Russian propaganda oultlets such as RT.
He can be (and indeed is) both
Binary thinking leads to inane conclusions. For example, calling a lobbed milkshake violence as if that makes it the same as a brick to the teeth or an assassin's bullet.
Get a grip and try to maintain a sense of proportion. We shouldn't be accosting political figures at all, but the real threat is far to the other end of that particular slippery slope, and that's where we should focus resources.
What a pathetic frog-faced snowflake.
Sounds like he's pretty lactose intolerant
MTG lacks toes, too. And she's defo intolerant.
"The paradox of tolerance."
He's just jealous of all the free milkshakes the effigy is getting.
lol liberals are only intolerant to fascists.
Tolerance doesn't necessarily entail "turning the other cheek". Jesus actually said, "Show them both cheeks!"
That's tolerance for ignorant, illiterate, bigoted racist fascists that is the extreme right.
Oh, is that what goatse was all about? Now I get it.
why does nigel care its not like he's ever in the uk doing the job he was elected to do
Not being a fascist is intolerant, says fascist.
So, they're intolerant... of him? That's pretty targeted intolerance, almost as if they're not targeting an entire group of people based on one shared trait
They are. The shared trait is intolerance.

I can totally see farage standing in for one himself for money. Imagine that. £70 to barrage the farage
