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! :'(

Getting bored with SLAMMED! already?

[–] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'd rather be slammed than skewered. Though both sound pretty kinky.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Really an issue of scope IMO. How slammed and how skewered, are the questions I'm asking.

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I would not call that skewered.

But if they have an accurate title like "Rishi Sunak Mildly Insulted By Student" we might realize how much of a non story this is and not click. Won't you think of their ad revenue?

It's only a story because it's so incredibly rare that members of the public get the chance to criticise his crazy policies to his face, in terms ordinary folk can relate to.

Rishi Sunak fucked up the arse by the penis of a student

[–] Patch@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

That'd be a turn up for the books; usually it's the student who gets shafted by the Tories, not the other way around.
