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! :'(

North Korea is a Democracy

I'm sorry. Did. Did you not read the thing? You're railing against something that I... Sorta, kinda, maybe had hinted at. Is the BBC Impartial? Fuck no. Is that the point that I was trying to make? Idfk.... Maybe take a bit of time to sober up? Read what I wrote again. Maybe interpret things a bit better?

Just like....idk....maybe reread what I wrote above if I was you, and was in the UK on a visa, maybe trying to not be deported. Cool. Glad you were being like....chill...and uh stuff. We aren't opposed. Not against each other.

Yeah, you're right - you're saying that it's possible in a properly functioning Democracy to have an independent state funded media, not that the UK is a properly functioning Democracy.

I just reacted to you posting a link to the BBC's very own bullshit on their impartiality (a link which doesn't make sense in light of the rest).
