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 woman who threw a milkshake over Nigel Farage is a Labour-supporting adult model, it can be revealed.

Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, previously shared a picture on Facebook with the caption: “Vote Labour for the many not the few”.

And the mother-of-one also regularly publishes raunchy pictures on adult sites and her social media sites.

She said of the incident: "He doesn't stand for me.

"He doesn't represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here. He doesn't represent us, he's not from here."

...

The young blonde woman hurled a cup of banana milkshake at the new Reform UK leader as he left the Moon and Starfish pub in Clacton, Essex.

...

Thomas-Bowen, from Clacton, Essex, was arrested on suspicion of assault and taken into custody.

The important thing about a pub name, is it makes no fucking sense.

Man I assumed it was about Heinlein’s Moon and the Starfish and the Spider book about decentralized rebellion.

This one does a lot of suggesting, though.

Perhaps it was renamed for his visit.

Should have gone for a more classic name, like The Swan & Paedo.

There really is a pub in Clacton with that name, yes.
