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.

No one "blames" you for anything outside of your skull and for my part, not even most of that. What is being pointed at is the consequences of actions. Paint splashed on vehicles gave incredible justification to the UK government, what actions will the murder of an officer give rise to? What will it accomplish?
This line of thinking is nothing more than violent ideation and yeah, I fall for it as well. What I do not do is give into it, and I do not use it to justify cries for violence writ large on what is practically the only platform worth engaging in. Cooler heads may disagree.
Lessons not learned in blood are soon forgotten. Show me a peaceful resistance that has resulted in lasting change. The greatest movements in the power dynamic between the ruling class and the governed always require violence.
Show me the anon internet post that has done anything whatsoever. Vomiting a wish into a keyboard for others to overcome your own cowardice is tap dancing in clown shoes.
So no lone wolf attacks on fascists have ever been inspiring by online shit posting? Let’s give it some time and see what the people come up with
Hence the cowardice.
