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 dare Priti Patel to go to one of these rallies. I bet someone would brick the back of her head purely based on her skin colour. Let’s see how much two tier policing she speaks of again.

Well that's true. And it didn't just stoke racism, but wasted huge amount of money and energy. They have done so much damage to this country's economy and soul. They should never be forgiven. I have as much blame for small c conservatives who went along with it all. Hope the party died off as it's voters age out the population. There need to be a better opposition. LibDems?

They raised the expectations of all these racists knowing full well they could never actually achieve the things they were promising.

Shockingly irresponsible.
