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.

"What do you think about A?"

"I think B is terrible and it should stop!"

Fuck off Lammy and fuck this blatant attempt at propaganda from a 1 day old account.

Coconut is a racist insult over there? I imagined it as a similar insult to "broth brain"

Probably means brown on the outside, white on the inside

Ohhh I can see that. My brain was trying to connect it to the American watermelon stereotype

Yep, similar to "a wolf in sheep's clothing"
