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! :'(

Billy Blueshirt already applauding.

There's a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (2 children)

She really does look pretty similar especially in the profile headshot

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

How could he be so dense to think these pics wouldn't come to light?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You're asking how could Farage be so dense?

But seriously speaking, this could just be a case of mistaken identity too; it's not like either of them has a very unique look exactly

Thanks for that. I left Twitter in Nov 22, so I can't follow the interesting threads anymore.

Apparently that's a different person. More on this as it develops. Over to Emperor with sports news.

What a weird publicity stunt this would be. Do people actually feel bad for him or something? I'm from the US and only seem to hear about Nigel when he gets hit in the face with a milkshake or says something horrendous

Aside from the same colour hair, they don't even look alike.

This is desperate stuff.

I like that this has become a sort of election tradition now lol.

If I can propose a slight tweak, if you know he's heading your way might I suggest buying the milkshake about a week beforehand to allow it to reach it's full potential? Let it level up, so to speak.

DM: "Are snowflakes making bioweapons against Nigel?"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Rember when that dipshit Andy ngo got milkshakes and chids were trying to argue it wad assault because it was actually concrete not milkshake.

I'm not saying it was concrete, I'm just saying that's an interesting thought exercise.

Deserved. How many elections has he already lost? He needs to get in the sea already.

Her: "My milkshake brings all the boys from the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours."

Scotland Yard: "Damn right, it's better than yours."

Right back at you my winged friend.

So Starmer got glittered. Nigel got his traditional milkshaking. What's Rishi gonna get?

As is tradition.

Odd. Why didn't he just have one delivered to him like a normal person?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I don't think we should kink shame.
