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.

Really? I'd have said he's a figurehead for the alt left
Edit. I stand corrected. Shame, I used to like his stuff
I've known an extreme hippy be antivax before, so maybe that was the route he took
Many hippies I know are completely anti western medicine so being antivax is kind of a given for them.
Thanks, I haven't followed his stuff since he found god
It's always the religious lot.... tssk.
I guess the shift would have been around the time he began
promoting ivermectin for viral infections, and hanging out with Tucker Carlson.

Yep, that'll do it. Thanks, happy to be corrected :)
genuinely curious, what is the alt left in your view?
It's a term reactionaries invented to promote horseshoe theory bullshit and general whataboutism. It's basically a dogwhistle
Look at the hexbear community and find out.
hexbear is garbage but "alt-left" is made up reactionary bullshit and if you have any leftist tendencies you'll do well to keep that out of your vocabulary unless you want to share theories with fascists. That said, if you're not a leftist, i don't give a shit what you think and you can say alt left all you want
Alt right = baddies; Alt left = imaginary baddies
Got it. Thanks i am glad I have you to clear these things up for me. Its a good thing hexbears dont use liberal as a slur or hate on anyone that uses non hard left platitudes. Anyone that calls themselves true leftists but has a picture of Che engraved on their eyeballs and fluent in chinese anti west propoganda is not alt left. Gotcha. If you dont see that this anti west sentiment is alt left then I dont know what to tell you.
got it, I don't give a shit what you think
Are you some undercover hexbear or something? Why would you think these people who are anti west but still want to be called leftist are not alt left?
hmm. fuck off
Im going to assume thats a yes. Shouts out to my Chinese friends, i know its not your fault you are just following orders. Some day you can go to sweden like you always wanted. Keep up the good work comrade!
Please respond to this is you're a loser with no friends.
Lol gottem
Pls respond if you are a loving and caring person
What’s the ‘alt-left’ when it’s at home?
