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.

All the people cheering it on oblivious to the fact that this just helps Farage and garners more sympathy for him and his party.
She claimed she threw it because "he doesn't stand for what she believes in". If only there was some way of expressing that. Like a vote or something. ๐ค
I bet she won't even bother voting.
How does this garner sympathy for a fascist pig? Is it some secret cheat code that makes people forget all the evil someone's done, and make us feel sorry for them instead?
It was milkshake not poison, why should anyone sympathise with him who wouldn't already have done so, because of this?
It's called being a decent human being and not thinking it's acceptable to go around throwing things at people.
Yeah, it's not a huge step to throwing acid though, is it?
I would say that's quite a big step.
