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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

why does everyone have headlines leaving people thinking straight porridge is banned when it is absolutely not?
Let me introduce you to the term Ragebait.
Proper clickbait.
"it leaves room for healthy versions of products to continue to be advertised, such as porridge oats, but not those such as porridge products that have had sugar, salt or fat added to them."
Reading the news today leaves me feeling "used". You just know the headline will be deceiving.
Is it just that gay porridge they've banned then?
yes
