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.

Downes told viewers Britain needs a political force “prepared to go into territory that is largely, especially in the eyes of the mainstream, viewed as being beyond the pale”. He went further:

“A lot of the people who have come here legally, especially over the last 30 years, and those who have been born here, they don’t belong here. And they do need to go back to the… countries of their ancestors. And that is the righteous and moral thing. And I think we are going to see that idea enter mainstream discourse in literally the next couple of years.”

Well this guy is a fucking nutter.

What would be the English version of Aryans, in the Nazi Germany sense and not the origin of the term? That’s what this Charlie Clowns, sorry, Downes character seems to be aspiring to.

I’m deliberately saying English. I’m sure the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish have their fair share of idiots, but to me the proportion of genuine knobheads in England seems to be much higher. Admittedly, I live in the English AFL/UKIP/Brexit/Reform heartland, which might skew my view somewhat. Still, they are knobheads the lot.

It's the remigration policy espoused by the AfD for ages. But now they seem brave enough to say what they would only admit in private.
