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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
I went back to double-check what I'd heard from the horse's mouth. I misunderstood the first time (they had just finished talking about Rwanda). This was in relation to third country processing of migrants.
They are open to third country processing but as far as I understand it it wouldn't be their main objective. They have said, a repeatedly said, is that they will open processing centers in France, which was always the sensible option and was rejected by the Conservatives so they could continue to use immigration as red meat for their diminishing voter base.
No one talked about immigration until the conservatives took power.
I think it's also important to draw a distinction between third country processing and the Rwanda policy. Those sent to Rwanda do not get processed for asylum in the UK. If their claim is accepted, they get asylum in Rwanda.
