Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

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.

Why don't you 'people' focus on the bullshit that's in your fucking country instead of sticking your fucking nose in other people's language, terminology and culture. Fucking cunt.
You people elected a literal walking Cheetos and you think you have some sort of authority on criticising cultures. You're a joke.
Australian?
No. A very grumpy British person.
You do seem slightly annoyed at the American. As a fellow Brit I feel it justified if someone goes after a lollipop man/lady
Yea, thats definitely relative and not at all an insane escalation of aggression.
EDIT. Holy shit, you made an alt just upvote yourself and mass downvote me because of the "lollipop" guy? You're insane...
