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.

I doubt if the billionaire media owners acquired their fortunes any more honestly than Farage got his much smaller one, and they'll continue to amplify his every brain fart. And as long as Reform is targeting people hated by the vast herds of gammon and the hooligans, they'll keep supporting Farage. They don't care if he's bent. They'd be a rich cunt like him if they could. He's a crook, but they see him as their crook.
