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! :'(

She's really embraced the grift since being laughed out of office.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I feel a bit bad for her because I think she takes the whole thing very personally, which is probably why she has become so defensive.

I wonder if she ever will say "okay sorry guys, maybe I made some mistakes". If she did then maybe people would mock her less. People are a bit relentless in mocking her these days.

Lettuce see how long that will romaine online.

She's taken a leaf out of Musks book.

imitating the Nicole spam, but with Liz as the lettuce chick

I'm sure someone can make a funnier version.

Very true that free speech never really means that

This woman has a humiliation fetish, doesn't she?

Truss made the revelation at a cryptocurrency conference in Bedford over the weekend.

Seems like it.

If hell is real it'll be a neverending cryptocurrency conference.

Finally a place where hard Marxists can openly call for overthrowing the government and killing the bourgeoisie without being censored. Right?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's illegal to run an uncensored social media network in the UK so I'm intrigued what she actually means. Probably similar to Musk's idea of free speech

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh don't worry I'm sure it will be censored.

It will definitely be interesting to watch how this ends up because she doesn't really have the cult following that is required to pull something like this off.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

oh she has a cult following all right.

just not one that wishes her well

"to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about"

Who are you going to talk about these issues with, then? A selection of other salad ingredients?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don't wanna talk about... like the horrible damage she did the country maybe?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would love to talk to her about that :)

Will it be made of cheese?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

It better not be imported cheese. That would be a disgrace.

Uncensored social media has always devolved into shit. Every online MMO ever has experience with it. Chat moderation is important or you end up with spam and bots, and nazis everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

It will be a hundred percent be censored lol

She made an absolute mess as a PM so why should we trust her with a social network?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

You say "social network", I say barely attended vbulletin install. Potato, patahto

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

Nazis nazis everywhere

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So she's not just joining Truth Social? I'm surprised.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

Well the biggest part of Truth social was laundering money 'indirectly' by having bribes be 'investments'. She can't profit off of Truth social.

I want the cute Liz Truss back, the one that announced with a slightly shy and awkward grin that she was opening new pork markets in China. I don't like Evil Truss, that started out by murdering QE2 then tried to do the same to the UK economy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Sorry, but her daddy/Master has always been conservative overlords.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Does anybody actually like her- like anybody at all?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

The 4chan source code got leaked. Maybe she can use that!

Lmao what an idiot.

[–] Madbrad200 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

god she's a genuine ghoul and I can't wait to stop hearing about her.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Following in the footsteps of former Tory MP turned right-wing grifter Louise Mensch. Her one of these, named Menshn (IIRC), lasted a year or two before it was shut down due to lack of interest.

So is it allowed to post boobs?
