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! :'(

Thank you for your kind words. I'm not even trying to necessarily change people's minds or expect people to agree with me. IRL, everyone around me is pretty conservative. I come on here to balance that out, and see how people would respond and answer their talking points. Sometimes I do actually correct my peers IRL when they have misconceptions gained from their echo chamber, because of something I learned on here. I respect everyone here regardless of opinion. And what I find is what pushes a lot of people I know IRL away is militantism - whether people like it or not. When I was growing up, I was sucked into a right-wing rabbit hole, originally just because I felt that right wing people were more considerate and respectful of what I had to say. I then realised a lot of what they were saying was very untrue, but I couldn't fit in with other communities either as they were upset when I wasn't singing from the same hymn sheet as them. I appreciate you and everyone who engages with me in a civil manner.
