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.

“She is using the correct description. It’s us who have been scared into using the word Zionists because of the fear of being labelled anti-Semites. Enough of being scared of hurting their feelings while they murder, bomb and starve children.”

A CAA spokesman said: “No wonder this faction needs to call for moderation in public among its members, because their views are straight out of Nazi Germany. The real question is whether the Green Party is going to do anything about people who believe Jews are an abomination, and about the factions that include them and the motions that they propose.

I've been saying it for years now, left wing progressives are just chronically online Trump supporters on the left, they'll cling to any conspiracy and any justification, no matter how stupid they can

You know the BBC is brainwashing lefty trash, totally not legitimate

The BBC is not any sort of left. It's centrist to centre-right.

Its transphobic, pro-genocide, pro-monarchy takes should make that very clear.

you are free to go onto twitter and yell it out with the best of em, good luck 🫡

But my comment is more referring to the 'source is not reliable' attack, not the whether or not the BBC is anything
