What an absolute bigoted tit.
It takes a special level of stupid to expect to pick up the plaudits for being inclusive, then also attempt to pick them up from the hard-liners of a 7th century religion, and not have both of them go "wtf mate?!"
UK Politics
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! :'(
You can't really be an honest politician and have views like this.
Perfect way to show yourself to be a hypocrite who is driven by the opinions of others. If you don't support LGBTQ+ rights, don't go to the event. If you do support them, don't apologise for going. You can't have it both ways. He's literally trying to demonstrate two mutually exclusive views at the same time to get both groups to like him.
