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! :'(

Starmer chooses the EU anthem Ode To Joy as the official song of the Labour party replacing Oh Jeremey Corbyn which was previously famously sampled by the White Stripes in their 2003 hit Seven Nation Army.

“Boy, thou uproarious shark of heaven,

Slaughter of Elysium,

Hearts on fire, aroused, enraptured

We will tolchock you on the rot and kick your grahzny vonny bum.”

Thanks to Anthony Burgess

I wonder if anyone has already launched a conspiracy theory regarding Sir Keir and Rhodesia's use of it.
