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! :'(

Steady on chap. No need to start insulting people.
This idiot does not have much reading comprehension...
Lol no these idiots deserve to be chastised
We've coddled the idiots too long in the US and look where it's brought us, I'm done personally coddling idiots and fascists* in idiocracy for the sake of politeness
?
You can chastise their ideas without insulting them. It makes you look like a crazy person. Do you want to change people's minds or simply shout at them?
And if you can't do that, well that's rather sad.
Thanks for pointing out my spelling mistake like a pedant, I'm on mobile.
We tried coddling fascists and all it does is validate their garbage beleifs, we're past trying to convince horrible people that they are horrible and are now at the stage where we have to protect ourselves and make sure the people who got us here never forget how they shit their own pants just to make us all smell it
If someone voted for Trump make sure they know how fucking dumb they are, and if they still whine wanting to be friends after voting to hurt you then tell them they were even dumber for thinking that was a possibility after taking actions to hurt you
Let me remind you how you responded to this:
You told the poster "to go fuck themselves for being easy to control". How do you go from being in a discussion about the level of work society has to ask of it's citizens to telling the person you're responding to to go fuck themselves to now saying that because they don't agree with you they're a fascist? 🤣 I mean you have to laugh as the poster acknowledged that the level is skewed to the owning classes and you still attack them.
Take a step back and reassess your comments. 👍
Only a fool would spend their entire life working to pay off their debt to society when it only takes a fraction, yes you are stupid for wanting to waste your life and make others do the same just so the rich can siphon our excess value produced.
I get that everyone takes resources, you are acting like a smug slave, a fool
Okie dokie buddy 👍
