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! :'(

Leaving aside the squeaky indignations of our inadequate prime minister, and the frankly boring questions by the opposition leader. what exactly is the purpose of this braying, deluded clown show? We don’t get anything of use, we don’t get anything except question avoidance and grandstanding followed by someone shouting ‘more’ so that others nearby will also make the same noise. As if shouting a noise makes the point rather than the brain of the person supposed to be in charge.

I can switch it off but I also don’t understand what the actual use of this excercise is.

The use of the exercise.

Is for you to decide how well your government is doing. While opposition questions them.

The fact that the current gov. And the last few before it. Fail to provide more then bullshit waffle. Should really tell you and every other voter something about them or the opposition.

Downvoted. Because Sentences Should. Not Have Full. Stops In. The. Middle.

When you try typing on a phone. While visually impaired. Ill give the slightest shit about your opinion.

If you're looking for sympathy you probably won't get it by insulting them.

On a separate note, have you tried a voice-typing keyboard? I think mobile OSs have got quite good in terms of accessibility tools in the last few years.

Not really looking for anything. Think judgemental idiots like that deserve to be judged.

The issue with voice type. Is trying to use it in public makes you inconvenient to others.

I have no issue with a proper keyboard and large monitor at home.

But 2here as my those can read text via headphones. Me speaking to it is very public.

As much of my time requires me to travel via public transport. (For obvious reasons)

Speaking out my thoughts all the time would not be practical..

Could go with a classic t9 physical keyboard, I remember being able to touch type on one of those back in the day. Might have to make a few sacrifices in terms of other features though...

Yeah used them in the past.

They work. Much easier to find keys.

But the non tCtile effect of a smart phone makes me wonder how effective they would be.

It's being able to feel the keys that helps I think.

But I may look at trying one on my phone sometime.
