General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Some people seem to have forgotten that humour isn't limited to "our side good, your side bad, hahaha".

You're right and usually Led by Donkeys forget this, too, which is why they're not funny! But maybe this is a sign that they're about to turn over a new leaf and become actually amusing.

Led By Donkeys is about five years old. I don't think that in that period there was a non-Tory government for them to mock, was there?

B-b-b-b-but, both sides!

I don't see how this is relevant to my innocuous comment about a satirical group I don't find funny.

[–] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What does this have to do with whether they're funny?

"which is why they're not funny"

[–] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

Yes. Because they think that saying:

“our side good, your side bad, hahaha”

Which is what I was replying to, is sufficient to be funny. It isn't.
