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! :'(

Lemmy be normal about women challenge, difficulty: LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE

If you think this is limited to women, you're dead wrong.

You should look at what people say about male athletes, or if you want to stick to politics, you should see comments regarding Justin Trudeau, Canada's PM. Women get just as horny as men. Shit, you should look at what people on social media were saying about Matt Hancock when he was on I'm a Celebrity - there was no shortage of thirsty women saying he could fuck them in his office/have an affair with them, which are far more sexually aggressive comments.

Sexual attraction is part of human nature. I don't think there's anything wrong with acknowledging that and openly saying you find XYZ public figure attractive.

There's plenty of people I find attractive too, and would say so out loud. I don't think that's creepy in the slightest. I also think Rayner is attractive, and a handful of other MPs. Bridget Phillipson is a pretty woman, Tobias Ellwood is a handsome man. What's the big deal?

Fair enough if the guy doesn't shut up about how he wants to fuck Rayner, that would obviously be sex-pest-y, but that's not what's happening.
