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! :'(

Ah yes, the lady responsible for "the investigatory powers act". A bill that forces logging of internet usage by telecom companies - what I like to call a "groundwork bill".

The data now exists, all that is needed is a new bill saying it can be used to prosecute civil cases, and a whole new era of repression will begin.

Then again, she did give us the creepy swagger meme, and the "strong and stable" slogan. So at least she gave us a few laughs while fighting to destroy online privacy eh?

Don't forget her rebellious streak of running through wheat fields!

Don‘t forget the hostile environment policy and how many people‘s lives it immediately ruined.
