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'd have liked if this wasn't news - surely the point of having such a large civil service is that we have contingency plans for the collapse of any world power, along with plans for a lot of less-likely scenarios - but considering the response to COVID was such a shit-show, that might be wishful thinking. Who could have seen a global pandemic happening, eh, maybe have a few plans to activate just in case?

Wishfull thinking. Britain needs to be building up miltary asap for direct russian conflict Polish style.

I did not expect to see such stories again, I was around the last time it happened.
