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.

He started his career as a criminal defence barister, specialising in human rights. And he's spent most of his political life reflecting back on that early tenure, insisting all his actions are informed by his desire for egalitarianism and social equity.
He's the quintessential "we bombed your hospital because you hate the gays" neoliberal imperialist.
Oh I know he used to be pro human rights. I remember he worked pro bono on the McLibel case too. At some point, that all went out the window. Keeping the zio lobby happy at any cost is not woke.
