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.
THE BBC has told its reporters not to use the word “kidnapped” when describing the US government’s allegedly illegal abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
The directive was revealed by The National contributor Owen Jones, who said it had been passed to him by a member of BBC staff.
Maduro willingly got on the helicopter because he wanted to leave the country.
Not that it will stop people from manufacturing consent for another war

The BBC middle east editor Rafi Berg is literally an ex IDF soldier from the Israeli 8200 spy unit.

Bro
Edit: .ml lmao. Blocked
if you think all of .ml is out of line, do what the rest of us do and instance block. however you are saying something completely out of alignment with any of what the rest of us can find and are absolutely certain you're correct. all the rest of us are asking is that you direct us in a way that helps us understand where you're coming from. Trump is chummy with dictators, but specifically nuclear ones. i don't recall him ever palling around with Maduro. it seems to me that the US military has kidnapped him
Tldr
I detest tankies and instance blocked *.ml and hexbear the instant that feature was added to lemmy.
... Yeah, no.
The dude was about to flee the country this year as the 40% unemployment mob caught up to him to skin him alive.
Maduro was going to leave Venezuela this year anyway, this lets him save face and Trump gets a way to manufacture conflict.
