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.

Yeah, but a lot of the GDP we did have was focused in London, which is a big part of why a lot of those voters didn’t feel too bad about putting a wrench in the works, despite the cascading effects. There’s a lot of structural inequality we have to deal with before even thinking of joining the bigger club again; though devolution may actually be starting to make some headway on this.
