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! :'(

He's the voice of Russia in Parliament, the EDL are just today's useful tools to get Putin's agenda furthered.
There will always be racist bellends around but they don't just randomly rush out onto the streets and start smashing things up - the fires have been stoked by fake news (from what looks like a Russian run site) and amplified by opportunistic grifters like Farage, Robinson and Tate, which has run around social media lien wildfire (Twitter and Telegram in particular).
They always were utter racist twats, but at the same time fall for tons of recent 'new' propaganda. Kind of the same with pretty much all EU racist fucktwats.
Be it in Germany, France, Italy, Austria - you name it. Same with the States over the pond. Or anywhere else.
And Russia troll farms will be active in all of those other countries too. Sewing division.
Has he actually turned up yet?
Despite the rumours, he was at the state opening of Parliament and he has also voted on two amendments to the King's Speech. He does seem to have spent most of his time in the US, as he has been asked pointed questions about it.
