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 don't think we can be that clinical about the strict definition of a world war when we only have two examples to work from. We could end up with half the world economy spent on war and still be calling it proxy wars all the way down.
I mean if there's only 2 countries being invaded: Ukraine and Taiwan and everyone is fighting through them it doesn't feel like we here in the western world are really on the brink
It won't really feeeel like a world war to me until Europe or America or Australia etc are actually getting invaded, it's just a large glorified proxy war
I mean, come on. Does it feeeel like there are several concurrent genocides happening at this moment?
