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.

Are we just copying the 'free speech zones' from the US during the Iraq war now?
I really don't like this route the UK has went down the past few years. The Tories cracking down on protests, people being arrested for holding "not my king" signs or even just blank pieces of paper in the vicinity of the king, and now all this bullshit from Labour to crack down on pro-Palestinian protestors.
Stop voting Labour. Stop voting Tory. Tell your neighbours to stop voting Reform.
There's plenty of alternatives about but for generations people only look at the colour of the candidates rosette. Got a red rosette? Good enough..... and then this happens.
Labour has too many safe seats to give a fuck what people think.
