/r/LegalAdviceUK is forced back open, vows to move the entire community off Reddit (www.reddit.com)

As with many other subreddits, /r/LegalAdviceUK (which had been dark since the start of the blackout) has been sent a thinly-veiled threat by Reddit.

So they've reopened in order to start moving the entire community of 810,000 subscribers to somewhere else.

As you can imagine there are a number of legal professionals who moderate that sub, and they really don't take kindly to being threatened. They sign off their reopening message with "Fuck /u/Spez and long live John Oliver." but for the real fun you might want to look up a very famous British legal case they reference, Arkell v Pressdram 1971.

That tracks, given that Spez admitted in a recent interview that he's emulating Elon Musk, champion of the fascist right.

He will never be 0.1% of Elon Musk.

Elon Musk isn't 0.1% of Elon Musk's (former) public image.

A whiny trust-fund baby who destroyed their company and image through compulsive lying?

They seem equally worthless to me.
