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! :'(

Double checks publication.
No, not the onion.
When people tell you who they are (at the very fucking least cordial with literal fascists), believe them.

I mean I get you, but it's not worth burning bridges with a very close ally just so you can look based on a tweet.
The US is very powerful and Trump has proven himself to be very petty. He could make life difficult for the UK, and we're in a precarious position to begin with.
We have to put up with the US's shit decision and try to minimise the damage. It's 4 years.
It's 4 years so far...
The past is the past. Kier doesn't have a time machine, nor was anything the UK did under the previous Trump government his fault.
It's 4 years from now.
Diplomacy means you have to be friendly with people you'd probably rather not be.
Start telling other world leaders to fuck off, and see where it gets you.
