UK Politics
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 think it underlines how freedom is always inherently a global project, a genuine embrace of freedom as a value requires a humanist embrace of the totality of people who could be bestowed freedom.
It is not enough to just try to get it right in one place, the powers against genuine freedom are too great and the seductiveness of "well I got mine" is too dangerous to our moral integrity, we must seek solidarity with one another from the start or else we will inveitably be encapsulated deeper and deeper in layers of oppression and control whether it is panoptic and pyschological or directly physical in nature.
