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! :'(
Sensible, given some of the absolute lunatics out there.
Wasn't there someone sending threats to Johnny Mercer's 3 year-old? I mean, what the fuck?

if only he was as protective of palestinian children
Good. The whole family angle is traditionalist, nationalist, fascist tripe and should be gotten rid of. "Oh, you're a childless woman, therefore you're not qualified." Gtfo here. What's that got do with governing? I'm voting for you, not your snot nosed brat.
And while we're at it, yankie politicians, keep Jesus's name out your mouth when giving your schpiel. How dare you blaspheme so? Praying in public even? Vanity is a deadly sin. Go back to your room, pray in solice and ask for forgiveness over your transgressions, you filthy sinner. Putting His name into your program? Why, maybe you need a bit of self-flagilation to learn some humility.
