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! :'(

that's what happens when the middle class stops buying the "regular" stuff and switches to the cheap no-name stuff. and the owner class is going to make their profits one way or another
Fuck the owners, grow food, grow community.
GrowVeg on YouTube is a great resource, but there's hundreds, thousands, of people teaching gardening all over the place.
Don't have a boring patch of grass in your garden that does nothing for you, for biodiversity, or for your community. That's what the aristocracy did to show off how much land they have and how rich they are that it doesn't even need to be productive. We don't need that arrogance.
Grow carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, onions, cabbage, you'd be surprised how many varieties there are that you would think don't exist looking in the supermarkets.
Be punk, grow food.
