Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

Fuck Lee Anderson specifically, outright saying that tories should wage a culture war to win the next election, but broadly fuck all the tories and their lack of even a shred of empathy

Leeanderthal strikes again. At least when he's eating cat food he can't speak.

In that case the Tories should fuck off back to Russia. When are you guys going to finish cleaning house there?

I literally came here to say that Lee Anderson should fuck off back to Moscow. The guy is (wittingly or unwittingly) an instrument of Putin's foreign policy. Nice to see we're on the same page!

He's definitely unwittingly doing it, he unwittingly does everything, he doesn't have any wits to do anything wittingly with. He is a pompous arse, who lacks enough brain cells to know that The Tory party voters hate him.

That's why his show isn't doing well.

Let's compromise. He's a halfwit.

30p Lee hating on foreigners as well as the poor? I never would've guessed!

is he still co chair of the tory party?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He is, desperate the face he's an utter pillock. He isn't even popular I don't know why the Tories thought he was a good choice. They possibly think that he is in some way a counterpoint to labour. Almost like a trophy, look at this guy, now he's on our side, even if he is a bellend.

But since pretty much everyone who meets him wants to give him a good thump by the end of the conversation, I don't think that's going to work for them.

“expresses the righteous indignation of the British people” - How fucking dare you claim to talk for me you gammony cockwomble.

Fuck off. Just fuck off with your lack of empathy and your fascist politics, you have no place in this country.
