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! :'(

I originally had a switcheroo joke about being an undemocratic Russian stooge, but then I remembered how he and his like stocked the 2016 nutters, and we lost Jo Cox. As much as I don't like the guy no one should be attacked just for standing democratically.
Stop blaming right-wing violence on backlash against right-wing violence.
Look at you, being a decent human being.
The majority of people on here seem to think political violence is acceptable purely against people they disagree with. It would be a different story if it was left-wingers being attacked more often though.
Apparently, this means they're also morally superior. Lol.
You don't have to feel the same way about everyone. You can have separate opinions about a fascist punching a lesbian and a lesbian punching a fascist. Their reasons are wildly different.
