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! :'(

I keep hearing that "all politicians are as bad as each other" so this does not compute.

I might keep doing this every time Labour do anything (unless they do something really Tory, of course).

Is your username in relation to the DnB producer? Or are you them? Or unrelated?

[–] Emperor 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unrelated. Given the fact that I am a big fan of Star Wars, people often assume it's that but it's actually a reference to Flash Gordon. The nickname predates the Web and so, when it came to pick a username for things I went with that.

It was the combination with the picture that gave me the vibe, since I think he released a few things on the shogun label I thought maybe! Cool username either way.

It's handy because it also covers Star Wars and Warhammer 40k.
