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! :'(

He hates poor people, is the thing. Younger people are poorer, so he hates them as a by-product. It's the same deal with immigrants: the Tories are mostly fine with rich immigrants, but since most immigrants are poor, that still means they hate most immigrants.

He loves to exploit the vulnerable.

The young are almost always vulnerable, as they have few allies and strategies, nor resources to use to protect themselves.

It's when the exploited get uppity that he gets frustrated.
