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! :'(
Nice to finally hear some small positive news from here on terf island.
I'm absolutely ignorant apparently. Why is it "terf island"
Government and many prominent Bourgeois are rabidly anti-trans; most basing their arguments on it being some kind of insult to biologically cis women. JK Rowling in particular has been absolutely unhinged and is just digging deeper on the daily.
Because there is a small war going on, backed mostly by Americans, because of the generally positive LGBTQ+ nature here.
Americans then like to call other people names as to try and deflect from how much worse it is at home for them.
An example for reference.
