Good point!
I'm pretty sure it's because I mention that I support Palestine Action, which although it's not a central point in the post is a pretty hot political potato in the UK at the moment. Fair enough. :)

It’s only a hot button issue from the sense that declaring your support for them is illegal. Your support for them itself is not a controversial topic since it’s pretty much in line with everyone else’s view.

I’m guessing that - from my experience of the CasualUK community when I used to be on Reddit - they have similar rules of ABSOLUTELY no politics. Even something that might lead to politics.
It’s to keep the place extremely light hearted and not turn into a depressing news/politics community.
So immigration/border policy and Palestine Action would both be out.
Even jokes about small boats would likely be too close.
It is a fun story, glad you shared it. And good on the mods recommending an alternative community
