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! :'(

Ffs - why can’t we have a functional industry regulator that sees things like this coming and does something about it.

It get corrupted by people moving between the regulator and industry and just money. Joe Lycett did an excellent Channel4 documentary about it, 'Joe vs Sewage'

Baby Boomers would trample them in their uniformly malicious, gleeful desire to drag all of society backwards.

Why is Brexit even a thing? Uniformed, old people with grossly inflated sense of their importance and a pervasive need to punish "others."
