    Well, they’re getting Stormy McStormface from me, in the (now) grand tradition

      I expected nothing less, and I am honestly appalled at the decision process that let the MET to greenlight that form after the BoatyMcBoatface affair.

      But since you have several options, I still urge you to nominate Shell, Exxon, and BP for the other choices.

        Suggest their CEOs’ names, too

      We have to be careful though and ensure we just call it ‘McStormface’ as then it will be reported as ‘Storm McStormface’ as opposed to ‘Storm StormyMcStormface’ which imo doesn’t roll off the tongue as well.

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.
