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! :'(

MODERATORS
so you waded into a conversation about the rioters to ask an unrelated question?
cool thank you for the valuable discourse
pretending that there's a question posed by these riots about immigration is just pretending that that's the question far right rioters are asking, which is just an attempt to rehabilitate blatant racism in the eyes of an uninformed observer, and by doing it you're just being a useful idiot
You're assuming a strawman that doesn't exist and getting very angry about it. Not every question is an attack on your very being. Chill yourself, buddy.
My friend, this is how conversations evolve. That's why they are threaded on this platform. Why do you need to be so angry that I'm asking a question that isn't related? Why do you care so much? If you want to join the conversation that's cool. But you seem to want to shout it down. That's pretty sad, pal.
i'm not saying you're deliberately constructing the argument
i'm saying you're a useful idiot carrying water for the far right without realising it
OK 👌.
