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 was recently listening to Behind the Bastards: How the Liberal media helped fasicm win.
Chilling how little they, the media, learned. They're still infantalising the left while proping up the right. Few lessons to be learned beyond "oppose fascism as violently as you dare as soon as you can".
For me, I'll vote Green, encourage others to vote Green, hope some Lab/Lib/Con voters learn some history and vote Green. If/when Reform win, reasses. Not particularly violent, history won't remember me well.
