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! :'(

I'm totally confused by everything you say because none of it seems to have any connection with the previous comment.

The statues are not in Greece They're in the UK, that's the problem.

What are you saying? Because I literally can't work it out.

They are heading to Greece. They will be there within the next 10 years. If Starmer doesn't just hand them over, then the Greeks will use their veto to stop the UK joining the EU. Since Starmer wants good relations with the EU without actually committing to join, then the Elgin Marbles will be a good start point, as well as doing the right thing.
