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! :'(

They don't reveal "deep-seated anger." They reveal an organised set of attacks on decent people, perpetrated by power-hungry right-wing thugs, very likely with assistance from hostile foreign powers. If they're spun up with "Great Replacement" bollocks, that doesn't give them any more legitimacy, any more than if they were indignant over the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. They're spouting propaganda and lies, and the government shouldn't concede an inch just because these arseholes are acting angry. They can be angry behind bars. This movement must be crushed.
