UK Politics
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! :'(

Congratulations! People like you made everything less safe for all women. Way to go! You're a true champion of the people.
Typical conservative. Hates women, too stupid to engage in conversation. Boring.
How? Also you say “people like me.” You don’t know me so how can you comment on people like me?
They know what you said.
Which is that you'd like this person to use the ladies room:
And you'd like this person to have to use the male facilities :
Tell me again how that's good?
I believe women should use women’s toilets and men should use men’s toilets. Just because I have a different view, doesn’t make me evil or want an unsafe world
You didn't answer me. You avoided the question, just like people like you alway do.
And by "people like you" I'm talking about people who are very easily led by childish hateful rhetoric which doesn't make sense. You're so easily led by it that you won't even quit when someone shoves your face in the pile of illogical bullshit you claim to believe in.
I ask again.
You are saying that you think it's good that this person will have to use the ladies room?
You don't think his presence will disturb the other women, what with him having such muscles and masculine traits, despite having been born with XX chromosomes and a vagina?
And on the other side, you don't care at all about people like this
getting harassed by drunken males in male facilities, which she will have to go into, despite her obvious femininity.
Stand behind your logic or abandon it.
What are you on about? How hard is it to understand that people have different opinions and beliefs? I believe biological women should have the right to use women only toilets, biological men should have the right to use men only toilets. That isn’t hard to read or understand.
#I ask once again.

Answer the question. It's not a hard question to read or understand.
Oh your so right, I get it now, silly me.. If you don’t agree with another persons views, you just keep badgering until they change their mind to what you believe.. Oh I feel like such an idiot now, if only I had remembered, all I need to do is to tow the party line and I’d be left in peace 🤣
Pretending to be illiterate isn't a good look.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG, how anyone takes this seriously is.. Well.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really don't see what the people bullying you think they're going to achieve. Maybe it makes them happy to find community in a common cause and it really has nothing to do with you per say. Personally I don't think I agree with you but it's a tricky issue. I can see that. I would just have unisex bathrooms and if anyone feels uncomfortable just use a cubicle but more importantly that's just my dumb opinion. Like who cares about ANY of our opinions about anything. It's fake agency. A thought experiment at best. Having said that I'm sure plenty of people are quietly not cool with how you're being ganged up on for having an opinion and I'm one of them.
so the people cheering on as rights are stripped from a small but incessantly targeted group of marginalized folks, THEY are the ones being bullied . you can't make this shit up; so brave to point that out.
What a fucking weasel-ey answer.
This will negatively impact every single woman that doesn't meet a made up standard of femininity. More cis women will be harassed, assaulted, and expelled than exist trans women period because people don't think they look female enough. It's already happening.
You cheer because you hate women. Not just trans women, you hate women. It's that simple.
Wow.. So much hate, you must be so proud of yourself, knowing what other people feel, how they feel about other human beings.
people who can't achieve arousal without headlines accounting for the further marginalization of at risk groups are having their own disgusting golden age; glad you're having so much fun and feeling so at home in the clown world.
Go back to 4chan
So which one do the intersex people use then?
According to Baroness Falkner on R4 this morning, they can use their considerable lobbying power to advocate for "third spaces." She actually said that about trans people, not intersex, but I presume her response would have been the same.
But in the meantime, going anywhere (or doing any sport) is probably off the cards. But thank goodness we have "clarity", right?
Yes, "common sense". The interesting thing about science is how often it tells you "common sense" is horseshit. Try get through a physics degree on "common sense" and we can discuss exactly how stupid you are.
