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.

The woman who threw a milkshake over Nigel Farage is a Labour-supporting adult model, it can be revealed.

Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, previously shared a picture on Facebook with the caption: “Vote Labour for the many not the few”.

And the mother-of-one also regularly publishes raunchy pictures on adult sites and her social media sites.

She said of the incident: "He doesn't stand for me.

"He doesn't represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here. He doesn't represent us, he's not from here."

...

The young blonde woman hurled a cup of banana milkshake at the new Reform UK leader as he left the Moon and Starfish pub in Clacton, Essex.

...

Thomas-Bowen, from Clacton, Essex, was arrested on suspicion of assault and taken into custody.

"Unmasked". She threw a milkshake on him in broad daylight with photographers around. This dumbass headline makes it sound like a dastardly plot has been revealed by Detective Holmes. She's a different party from him, she doesn't like him, and she expressed her dislike, in as public a way as possible. Ooohhh, good job with the fieldwork on that one, Express.

"unmasked" because of the assumption that anyone who posts "raunchy" pictures, especially for money, would spontaneously combust in shame if their name were ever made public.

boring bigoted shit

Well, there was a theory that she was the gf of Reform researcher. The two look quite similar, but it's mostly because they're both blond and 25ish.

The Express never had real journalists, even during the print news heyday.

Yet we had a big thread with everyone saying it was a conspiracy

I'd be surprised if she weren't online bragging about it minutes after it happened.
