General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

When I got to the milkshake impact picture I thought to myself “How does someone just impromptu throw a milkshake? Did she practice or something? My aim would be terrible. … Should I practice throwing milkshakes?”

And then I got to that last picture where it appears the shake chucker is a certified shake sniper, and I realized I should practice throwing them! That woman is a rare talent, and I’d certainly be in the lower third of the bell curve for precision if I tried to deliver a dessert the same way.
