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 wonder how many reckon the extreme side of Christianity (which we see currently devouring the rights of the peoples of the USA) is a threat to our way of life too...
As a British voter, Christiofascism worries me far more than Islam does right now.
I do.
All forms of religious extremism are a threat to our way of life.
Islam is getting targeted at the moment because the others aren't currently violently trying to enforce their version of a fictitious deity onto us.
Indeed, religious extremism, at least that which outwardly affects others (if you want to be extreme in your beliefs and live in a cave away from humanity to achieve enlightenment that's cool go for it), is a threat to everybody.
Nobody's ever tried to violently force Islam on me, or anybody I know, though.
Now, Catholic Priests and Teachers at our religious UK state schools on the other hand? Ooh, the stories we could tell...
