    Why are they interviewing an 80s pop singer about utilities?

      Because he’s not been working in music for years and has instead been championing exactly this subject.

        Didn’t see anything about it in his Wikipedia entry. Says he’s been trying to protect fishing waters on the side. Thought maybe someone had hired him as a celebrity spokesman or something.

          Eh? Not sure you even read his Wikipedia.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feargal_Sharkey

          There’s a whole section on his “Environmental campaigning”.

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.
