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.

The timing on this was just atrocious for Polanski. We're still firmly in the Burnham honeymoon and the Zionism motion being the dominant story about the Greens; he was just delt a bad hand here.

Poor Zack, he can't do anything right.

It's a bit difficult when you have the entire establishment gunning for you. There's not many media owners who aren't psychopaths with a vested interest in destroying the planet, so it's no wonder you only ever see bad things about him.

A truly class conscious party would understand that establishment media were never going to portray them as anything other than enemies.
