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! :'(

It was more than 300k, I'm no expert but my reference was the Anti-war protests that opposed the Iraq intervention, and whilst it wasn't bigger than that, it was close.
Also it was totally peaceful, no police around. Police presence increased near the end, on Vauxhall bridge road, but just to block people from spilling into some sidestreets (not all).
Police were friendly to be fair. Looks like all the trouble they had was with Cruella sympathisers. Go figure.
