If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

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.

"THE Con-Dem coalition government’s “naked attempt” to bankrupt the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union was today rejected unanimously in a Supreme Court ruling.
The stunning victory paves the way for the union to sue the Home Office, Department for Food and Rural Affairs and HM Revenue & Customs for millions of pounds of compensation and costs. "
So, the taxpayers. Why the fuck the ministers are not personally liable for unlawful decisions?
If the union is canny it'll just go for costs and the repealing of some anti-union legislation
