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.

The only consensus we need is that the system has failed us, and it was never established for our benefit in the first place. It was always intended to work this way.
The system cannot be used to abolish the system.
Surveillance technology doesn't matter at all. There is strength in numbers. There are more of us than there are of them.
I mean... not 100%, though not 0% either. Things were different a few decades ago.
True dat. But also, read Animal Farm. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend. Russia for instance overthrew their oligarchs, and now they are living happily ever after...
They have e.g. nukes and know how to farm and live off the land. City people know which TV shows and Tiktok channels they enjoy the most. If it turns violent, there is zero chance of liberals coming out on top.
I am not saying to not get serious. In fact, I'm saying the opposite.
