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.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Gosh lordy what an awful thing they are doing over there, slaughtering all those innocent people. Truly deplorable. What a shame we just have to sell them weapons no matter what.

"We were only selling them defensive weapons, you see. We obviously weren't expecting them to use them offensively. Anyway, they've promised not to do it again, but obviously they'll need to defend themselves from retaliation, so although we're very disappointed in them using the weapons incorrectly, we'll obviously have to continue to sell them weapons to defend themselves".
