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! :'(

Do you reckon people think that the stories in The Daily Sport/Sunday Sport are real?
Take a look at the average British Ibiza-goer.
We voted ourselves out of Europe.
Absolutely yes, some people believe that kind of dribble.
Hey bud, just wanted to mention it's *drivel, in case you (or other readers) weren't aware 🙌
Ta - I'm still leaving it.
Drivel somehow seems a refined way of saying it, which the publications in question do not deserve.
You mean to tell me there ISN'T a German bomber crashed on the moon!? s.
Have you seen Iron Sky??
Iron Sky is more factual
I couldn't immediately see a link to the actual EU archive in that article, for reference I think it is this one : https://wayback.archive-it.org/11980/20200131192225/https://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euromyths-a-z-index/
Ffs, I remember how everyone in my country was talking about this banana shit, and how ridiculous and pointless the EU is for it... EU really needs some good media people.
