      Fun fact: not necessarily the most misogynistic island in the world.

      Might be, though, I doubt there’s been any studies conducted 🤷

        not necessarily the most misogynistic island in the world.

        It’s literally the least misogynistic place on earth.

        The Isle of Man was the first place in the world where women could vote in a national election. https://www.tynwald.org.im/history/Women-Suffrage

      It’s based on the Manx Coat of Arms: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_the_Isle_of_Man

      I’m not sure anyone actually knows. I think it’s one of those things that’s so old it’s passed into obscurity. There’s a few ideas floating around, but nothing confirmed.

      Edit for those downvoting but not providing anything of any use: check the history section.

      Possibly emerged from a triskelion, which exists as a motif across Europe and beyond, but especially in regions associated with Celts, morphing into legs for reasons unknown and a few meanings attributed long after the fact.

        The Celts were well known for morphing into legs for reasons unknown, it’s their party trick. Everyone else just finds it embarrassing.

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! :'(
