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 wish I could say it is. However, all across social media there are many many comments supporting violence, often quite blatantly. About half of these are newer accounts or people with few connections. However, this still whips of real people online into tough guy comments. Racism and sexism are exploding here in the UK.

He's a racist cunt and so are his followers, and those who control the media are giving him millions in free advertising. It's not going to hurt him.
