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! :'(

Just a note for people who don't know:

Not only did the Italian Fascists not make the trains run on time, the German Autobahn was created and planned out by the Weimar Republic, and the Spanish Miracle was the liberal nations investing in Spain to fix all the damage caused by the civil war the fascists started and invented several war crimes in (a bribery scheme so Franco would stop still doing war crimes after he was forced to admit autarky is a moronic idea).

So whenever someone drops that "trains running on time" argument seriously and not to mock conservative idiots, feel free to hit them in the head with a brick.
