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! :'(

He’s pretty unbiased, and explains it all really well for those of us with no knowledge of how that world works.
Can you explain the link aggregator business once again for the heard of thinking? I’m not sure what you mean, but I’m assuming it’s something I’ve either completely ignored or misunderstood
From my, admittedly limited, knowledge of high finance, he seems to know the score and be able to talk about it clearly and without being biased towards it.
Like Digg and Reddit, Lemmy is like earlier discussion forum software but set to favour the new post over a new comment and the key is the link, especially on Lemmy. So if I post the same link as someone else has done it will automatically add a link to that post too. It's also why we prefer people post archive links in.the body of the post and the original link as the main one.
How should I have formatted it to achieve this?
When you go to "create post" there is a field labeled "URL", the main link goes in there.
Ah, I think that might be the app I’m using. Mlem just has “title” and then “post”
On Mlem you can add a link by tapping the link icon at the top of the post editor and tapping "paste" (with the link copied to clipboard, of course). We're aware that this isn't the most obvious UI, and are improving it in the next version.
Well that was really rather easy, I’ve edited it, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
