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! :'(

No dramas. If it's any interest, one of my running routes when I lived in the south east of England used to take me around a private estate. The landowner at the time was a nice bloke - asked if he minded me jogging around the paths and he didn't give a toss, so long as I didn't disturb the animals and kept an eye out for him.
A few years later, another guy bought it who had all the interpersonal skills of a dead goat, and made it entirely clear that he didn't want me there. Fair enough, it's his land - but a I did go on a bit of a legislative binge to see if there was a way I could fuck him off.
I just worry in this instance that a good quality protest for all the right reasons might get upended by whiny shouts of "assault assault!" when it's one of the few times the landowners have a codified right to get handsy, and it looked like a great protest from the footage. A grand day out for all!
