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! :'(

This is just a circle. "The judge is probably right, because he's probably right". Using this case as evidence that this case is something that happens frequently, inspite of the judge not using evidence, but his gut. Evidence he was faking would be a video of him kissing a woman at a football game. Not, he hasn't documented his gayness enough, but also he has to show shame over it at the same time. Too much shame? Somehow evidence he's not gay, like in this case. To little shame? According to this article it is used to prove they aren't because real gay people need shame. The evidence is never "hey look, he's having sex with women, and refusing all these perfectly good men".

he should shag the judge, that would be proof

Do people in your family actually have positive feelings about you or are they kind of embarrassed every time you walk in the room?

The judge already fucked him, and he didn't like it. That's the missing evidence, guys! Case closed!
