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! :'(

what method are you employing to make it happen?
To make what happen. What is "it"?
I simply object to strawman arguments suggesting that any course of action is a good course of action. No it's not, it's stupid if it's stupid. It doesn't matter how worthy the cause is. Oh how self-righteous you feel about it.
Messing around with people's lives doesn't help anyone, it doesn't help the cause, it doesn't help spread the message, all it does is make people hate you. I object to them turning climate activism into some kind of publicity stunt. Publicity stunts require a purpose, these don't have one, they are simply causing trouble for the sake of it. They know that none of what they are doing will have any impact because they're not targeting anyone, anything, or any entity that has anything to do with the claimate crisis.
"it" being phasing out oil, and ending excess consumption, i tought it was obvious.
ruining some shitty piece of paper isnt messing with peoples lives nearly as much as climate change is. for some reason people seem to be more defensive of the piece of paper.
if you hate their means of raising awareness, you should have a better means instead of just defending the status quo.
