UK Politics
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.

That's what they claimed but the thing is you're a news channel if you deliver news. You can even say that only the part of the channel that's actually presented as news is news and the rest is entertainment, like morning talk shows do, but the news bit is under news broadcast rules technically.
I think it's very inditing they are even trying it on. They are a propaganda channel and using "news" in their name is completely disingenuous. If they are news they are breaking impartiality rules if they are not they are doing false advertising. They could be arguing to be breaking both.
As I said before. Scum.
