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 didn't 'appear' to justify the rioting.

He literally said 'of course it’s politically justified!' There's no ambiguity here.

I think there are some anti-radicalisation laws in place Tories introduced. Don't Tories own behaviour falls under these?

Do him for treason

The Tories were in power for almost a decade and a half, only interupted by their own internal power struggles, and the best thing they could come up with to "help" Asylum seekers was the racist and inhumane Rwanda scheme.

Yet Labour repeals that and suddenly they're the bad guys for not being able to undo over a decade of bad decisions in a month.

Conservatives can't see past their own racist noses.
