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.

For a minute I thought he was saying only gay politicians make money.

I still think that. What did he plan to say?

He meant straight as in not bent or corrupt.

not bent or corrupt

Where I live, "bent" can also mean queer. So that still doesn't disambiguate.

I only care about the corrupt meaning. He can fuck anyone who could hold their stomach enough to get that close to him, as long as it's consensual. It's revolting but not politically disqualifying.

Hell of a statement for a wealthy politician to make...

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

nothing is going to bring him and his ideology down as long as he keeps blaming generic talking points on various media platforms as gullible beer gutted sole traders keep listening to him.

Farage tells it like it is, it's Political Correctness gone mad, elf and safety going mad, Brussels banning bendy bananas.
