UK Politics
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! :'(

Uk is a failed experiment. I wonder if Putin knows, when threatening to nuke UK, he's actually proposing improvement.
Have you ever lived in the UK?
I remember first learning about the russian news pieces about how they're going to wipe the UK off the map.
Honestly, they're a bit weird. They've been doing them for years, and I'm assuming they're usually just aimed at a domestic audience.
Like this one from a couple of years ago, where Channel One threatened a nuclear tsunami against the UK.
Maybe it's because we're far away enough to paint a picture that we're all hunting for bullets under the couch, rather than working out where the last hobnob went.
Haha. I wonder what made them choose the UK in particular.
May be historical reasons? In their minds Russia defeated France (Napoleon) and Germany (2WW) but not the UK, not in any big war I can think of anyway.
We have control over the supply of Hobnobs.
Hang over from the Great Game probably.
