UK Politics
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.

"This is a horrific illegal act and the UK will not stand for this. We also won't do anything about it either, because we simply don't have that kind of force, and given the general vibe of world leaders at the moment, if we make a stand we'd be making it largely alone or with countries who have no firepower. We also need the US for the UK service sector (a.k.a 90% of the economy) to function, and pissing off the manbaby might cripple us. But yes, we won't stand for this."
