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.

“Some of the rhetoric we’re hearing – racist rhetoric, divisive rhetoric – that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago is returning to politics and it makes people feel very scared,” he said.

“We have to stand up to that racism, that division, and we have to proudly say that to be British is to have concern for others, is to be reasonable, is to be tolerant and compassionate, and we’re proud of that.”

I totally agree, but why haven't you been doing any of those things until now? Is this meant to be a "do as I say, not as I do" thing?

It's notable how much more comfortable he looks doing this compared with when he's doing the nonsense pandering.
