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.

Is the genocide in Gaza a pointless thing to protest to you?

[–] deHaga@feddit.uk 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No. The pointless thing is a hunger strike with demands on the government, it's delusional.

I think you're the deluded one honestly, spending time bootlicking the state instead of expressing solidarity with people trying to stop violence our government is engaged in.

[–] deHaga@feddit.uk 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not bootlicking anything. I don't agree with the approach, wouldn't you rather have something effective?
