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! :'(

Yes; I described the author as a “specialist” in another comment - the writing style is very deliberate.
There are bits that might be easy to agree with or at least palatable. Then there are the bits that provoke a reaction. And I agree that there is always a narrative being pushed somewhere.
If you strayed into the comments, some have picked up on the NHS or parts - and some seem to have concluded that the current government is somehow too left wing.
The comments, on any piece, are invariably a metaphors “kill the weak and the people that care”
