UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

OK, if you don't want them mischaracterised, maybe elaborate on what you mean. I've asked multiple times, and you have so far failed to elaborate.
I don't think that is an unreasonable request either.
I think if you'd skipped the 'You're insane, you believe [things I don't believe]' bit, it would be a reasonable request, sure.
No. I didn't call you insane. You're clearly not, but you're certainly have views that are off the wall and I'll call them out. The fact you cannot substantiate certainly doesn't help your case.
You're fine to have views contrary, but back them up...
