UK Politics
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 bbc are just creaming over this. I'm not really keen on this modern style of soap-opera style coverage.
It's a very serious and criminal matter, a total dereliction of duty, utterly contemptuous of the people and he's just walked away.
edit; at the same time, a very dark part of me of which I am not proud, is pleased that some of British public are getting a terrific lesson on how to use a vote. They elected a demonstrable cunt, with long record of vile & degenerate behaviour, and this is their reward.
The BBC seem to be doing the classic "one person from the critical pile, one from the supportive pile" balanced reporting from public quotes.
Sheila from Sutton: "I'm glad he's gone, he made a mockery of the whole process, and should be ashamed"
Barry from Bognor: "I still believe in him, he's just being bullied by these facts and investigations"
