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.

UK rappers such as Skepta and Stormzy accustomed me to technique, wordplay, sometimes uplifting and other times deadly serious but lively lyrics, and catchy beats. They move me, they inspire me to play with rhymes and samples. Right-wing "AI" prompting seems to take everything fun away from rap music and channel the art form straight into /dev/null. Their character is speaking of a downfall for UK culture when he's the downfall.
Part of fascism that people often overlook is reducing everything to an aesthetic, and something I notice about the Bones slopaganda is how it clothes itself in the working class and anti-establishment look and feel, while blatantly being a sleek corporate product with a pro-establishment agenda. It's galling.
