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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I mean, the panel is entirely correct - in the sense that a bunch of radical, extremist, out-of-touch, intolerant miscreants are totally trying to shut down free speech in Britain at the moment. They are total snowflakes with thin skins who can't tolerate anyone criticising or disagreeing with them.
These anti-free-speech vigilantes call themselves 'the Tory party' and here are several examples of them at work over the last year or so:
Cancelling Gary Lineker
Cancelling anti-monarchy protesters
Cancelling Greenpeace
Cancel culture is alive and well among Rishi Sunak's Tories.
