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.

You mean the video where he openly says.

I did not ever believe that. It was a sun journalist idea. I should not have gone along with it. And have apologised.

IE a sun journalist convinces a non politician fresh out of uni. To talk shit for media fun. And shock value.

Or are you again making interpretations on the whole interview. Based on a few mins of comments. From an openly biased media source.
