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 riots killed any form of honeymoon period.

The riots were put down quickly and the yobs are rapidly being sentenced. And there's no way the riots strengthened the opposition: the Tories were silent, and Fromage helped provoke them.

Right, but it killed the public mood of the new government being viewed in a positive light just because they won and forced the Tories out. The party mood... the honeymoon period was over.
