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.
The absolute balls on these fascists continues to surprise me. As someone that has worked directly in the journalism industry in the UK for years, it's clear to us all that the opposite is true - What with the various boards and oversight committees practically stuffed to the brim with idiotic ex-tories and conservative interest groups.
This being published at all is all the proof you need to know it's complete bullshit.
The fact that Farage said it is all the proof you need to know it's complete bullshit.
Fair fucking point.
The absolute balls on these fascists continues to surprise me.
I can't imagine why. Shame and fascism are mutually exclusive.
Let fascists have "their turn" with the mic and they will use that time to argue everyone they disagree with should never have access to the same microphone
I'd have more respect for the Beeb if that was the headline they went with.
If he thinks that’s bad, he should try going outside
