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! :'(

Jo Cox, she was a wonderful woman and we owe it to her, and to history, to remember her name. She was murdered for her views, not only on Brexit, but on comprehensive support of Syrian people (not just handling ISIS/IL but Asad too) and of Gazan people.
Anyone downplaying the idea of threats to MPs has a disgracefully short fucking memory. People can be radicalised to many views and many places on the political spectrum and we need to at minimum remember that extremists can have strange (and unwilling) bedfellows.
