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.

Part of me feels optimistic, the other part feels like silly accusations of anti-Semitism, misogyny, communism and chairman Moa bicycles etc etc, are already being prepared.

Maybe I'm being optimistic too, but after what's happened this year I don't think the anti-Semitism label will stick as hard as it did in 2019. People know a bit more about Israel and its actions now.
