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! :'(

Here's hoping they don't get in when the next GE rolls around.

Just wish Labour would stop campaigning for them.

Dont blame Labour for the fact that 80% of the media is owned by people who'd love to get shits like Farage into office.

This here is the problem. Not just in the UK but the world.

Control why people see and hear, you control what they think.

And yet they’ll be millions of UK voters who will raise their Weatherspoons pints and cheer this on. Most likely 51%. All the same ones who hate foreigners, hate woke and hate anyone to the left of Enoch Powell.

To not realise that renewable energy means energy independence is the stupidest, shortest term thinking going. I don’t worry about heating my home even though where I live gets considerably colder than the UK. Why? Because it’s locally generated renewable energy.

"stupidest, shortest term thinking" well its is the reform party.

Why don't we put a tax on racist/nazi views? Every time you say in public something racist, your tax goes up by 10%.
