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.

Over the last 24 hours, a number of false and defamatory statements have been published about me concerning the launch of Your Party’s membership portal.

The portal was properly launched in accordance with the party’s roadmap.

At no point was members’ data misused or put at risk.

All funds received from members were ringfenced and protected in the appropriate manner.

These baseless attacks on my character are politically-motivated and I intend to hold to account those responsible for making them.

To that end, I have this evening instructed specialist defamation lawyers.

To avoid prejudicing or complicating any future legal process, I will not be making any further comment about this matter at this time.

So you are saying. You depend on brewery owners to arrange your piss up for you. To the point they set the date and time. You at best buy some tickets.

How is that in any way you organising anything. When taking a lover to dominos. Do you tell them you organised an Italian meal. Or took them out.

As I indicated. Organising a pissup in any other rentable building would be easier. Where you can set times dates etc. breweries at least small ones. May well offer party plans. Never tried. But still that tends to be them doing the organising to ensure safety etc. And no easier then any other adult party rental location.

That’s why the saying “couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery” is an insult. The bar is set insanely low (organise your friends, buy tickets or pay on the door, get drunk) but you still believe that they wouldn’t be capable of it.

Nope.that is how high people who have never worked in a functional brewery think it would be. As alchole is around. Such saying are often flawed. Shooting fish in a barrel. Try it impact shock is more likely to kill the fish. Then your bullet hitting it.

Your idea that breweries invite guests in to drink. Is way way more modern then the saying. It's a post 2000 micro breweries trend. And Def did not happen in the 1960s when such terms existed.

And as I say. Such an arrangement is no more you organising it then a restaurant is you organising a meal. It's the restaurant staff doing so.
