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.

Fun fact: This bloody wanker is a migrant himself, he immigrated to Monaco to avoid paying taxes yet lives in the UK

Kick him out!

Maybe he should colonize a grave, by dying.

He's a proper wanker who has since "apologised for his choice of words".

So not what he said or the meaning, just using the wrong words to say it. Standard meaningless apology whilst maintaining the same position.

Were those his completewords?

Because around here it was translated as "apologised his words offended", or as I read it between the lines: "sorry you people are such woke snowflakes!"

Which ones, those dirty Norman invaders or the Vikings? Or does he mean perhaps those disgusting Homo_sapiens who brutally pushed out the noble Homo_neanderthalensis who were living in the Isles first? :p

(OK, OK those who know better, I have no idea if the Neanderthals ever lived in what is now the UK, nor do I really know all that Saxon/Norman stuff ... it's a joke.)

I think he means poor people in general. No war like class…

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

All those people from Doggerland who thought they could come over here and steal our home just because theirs sank into the sea

There is non-0 chance that he also likes to fuck kids.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Like he'd walk around.

It's always an agenda. Always.

I guess Man United will be terminating all of their foreign players immediately then.

Cunt doesn't even live there anymore.

"Colonized" is such a negative word. I prefer "Bringing the light of civilization to the savage isles".

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

I mean, where do you think the Normans came from?

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Give it back to the celts

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 1 month ago

Oh but it was okay when y'all did it? Remember, ya old bastard; all that money? You can't take it with you when you fucking die.

"Your problems are caused by immigrants" - Billionaires.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Beaker people out!

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Well, you people spent a couple of centuries doing the exact same thing. What? Can't take it?

[–] discocactus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Fair if true.
