    They never stopped being the nasty party.

      The statement implies they apparently experienced a fleeting realisation that they were the nasty party… When that moment was is anyone’s guess, as they’ve never changed their actions based on that information.

          Ah so history is just a circle.

          And it was said by Theresa May, who went on to lead the party after it remained nasty…

          A conservatives idea of “nasty” is polling poorly and losing elections; nothing more.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

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.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

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.
