Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
It's time for the UK to accept Brexit was a fuckup and get this fixed. Friends forgive friends right?
The EU and the UK could just publish a report that Brexit was planned and orchestrated by Russian intelligence (which is no secret at all) and open the way for the UK to rejoin under the old terms. There is no reason to further punish them, we would all be better off if they get back in even if it is under the favorable conditions that they threw down the drain back in 2016.
The old terms were very favourable to UK, I don't see how EU would agree to them again in 2026.
That’s why I am saying, publish the report. Let everyone know that this was orchestrated as a measure to weaken and exploit Europe and let them back in under the old terms for our own good.
Sorry, but the EU won't accept the pre-Brexit deal with the UK. One just can't have the cake and eat it. The EU don't want another time wasting happening with other countries leaving the union as well, and regretting only to come back as if nothing happened.
Yes, we want the UK back in.
Reform's poll numbers would suggest otherwise I'm afraid...
Yeah but who listens to, or believes, the polls anymore? It's an outdated concept that is used for nothing more than to sway public opinion.
Wut? What ridiculousness is this? How do you suggest we determine what groups of people want?
Maybe we should have folks come together say "Hey! This person represents at least a plurality of our approval. Let's sentence them to spending the next 5 years or so in a rundown palace next to a big clock where their closest neighbors hang out on red pillows all day."
Since they have the biggest piles of votes we can call the vote gathering days erections, since vote counters will stack ballots on top of each other and the biggest pile wins.
I believe the guy above was referring to Gallups statement on their discontinuation of presidential approval polls after 88 years.
Yes. Start sticking up for yourself too. Do what the people want not what the vocal minority makes you think we want.
