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! :'(

People are now attacking road safety infrastructure with explosives in suburban England.

Bear in mind that Tory MPs actively encouraged this behaviour!

I was thinking it might come under the definition, but hadn't gotten around to looking it up, so thanks!

Obviously they did (2). They would have to argue that they weren't actually trying to make the GLC change the policy, so as to avoid (1) which may or may not be tenable. I kind of think not!
