UK Politics
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! :'(
You could put Harold Shipman and Lucy Letby in charge of the NHS, and some would still put that cross in the blue box. There just as many idiots in the Labour camp also. This is the result of FPTP imo. People voting for what they don't want, while ignoring even thinking about what they do.
There is also the selfish camp who see the Tories giving more to them at the expense of others. One guy on video amazed me in the Uxbridge elections. He said he was voting Tory because he did not want to pay VAT on his kids school fees. Meanwhile we have 10% inflation and a devaluing pound. All services are failing while our tax rate is at its highest. I am guessing he did not do well with maths at school.
