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! :'(

What the actual fck! Regardless of your view of brexit, him fcking off for the rest of those c*nts to pretend to have an idea of sorting out his mess tells us all we need to know about his character
Next will be the reanimated corpse of Margaret fcking Thatcher with AI designed by Elon fcking Musk
I lived through the Thatcher years and never imagined I'd see the day when I look back on her with anything other than hatred. But at least she believed in something, stood for something, and wasn't just lining her pockets.
I was joking but also got depressed when I thought of that as some tories would actually love that. I agree that is the slight glimmer of a positive about her. At least you can have a debate with someone who has a view on something if their goal is still improve the UK, even if misguided.
I feel the same about Theresa May, she did a really good interview on the Leading podcast with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart and really put across that she believes in what she’s doing, even if she’s completely and utterly wrong and was an absolutely terrible Home Secretary and prime minister (remember strong and stable, lol.)
I kind of respect her for standing by her convictions, and would rather have her back than pig fucker Cameron and the rest
