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! :'(

Imagine you have two aresholes. Not you personally, we're talking about people who happen to be arseholes. Now imagine one of them is finally, unambiguously, unequivocally revealed to be an arsehole. The other arsehole might not want to throw stones on the basis that deep down inside they know that they, too, are an arsehole who just hasn't been revealed as such yet. It'll come. They know it will, eventually. So they don't want to make too big a deal of castigating the one who has been found out because they know it will ultimately come to bite them on the arse. Hole.
