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! :'(

I have the same view I always have. The comms are bad. This has been the case for a century, bar the era known as the Mandelson Hegemony and the still briefer era known to historians as Mandelson Redux.

Mandelson

Ah yes Cash for Honours Mandelson. What a decent, upstanding fellow. You strike me as a Champaign Socialist Frank. A man who's never sene true hardship.

To you "crushing orphans" is just words on a screen. To me it's loved ones dying. You need to feel true misery to understand my heart and the hearts of real left wingers like me.

I take it you're the one true Scotsman?
