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.

And yet somehow that was still the best government we've had in the last 15 years :(

Jesus that's a depressing realisation. How did it get worse from Cameron and Clegg? But somehow it did

He can't see the wood for the trees. I think he thinks that just because the people he worked with day to day were personable and pleasant to be around, that means the company mission isn't corrupting society.

Or... he's just a monster himself. Better at hiding it, arguably
