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.

Sounds like an organised shadow organisation working to manipulate the population to introduce fascism for the billionaires. They should be tried for fraud and sedition and the lot sent to rot in prison.

Unfortunately it isn't fraud, and sedition was abolished for British nationals in 2009

Another, Ronnie Corbett (described in a Restore Sheffield Facebook post incorrectly as ‘Ronnie Barker’)

If I'd made that joke myself, at best a light chuckle. Restore Sheffield's own social media team (a Trojan horse?) doing it? Priceless 😆

Such behavior needs to be criminalized.

IF you are an agent of an entity, THEN you be so, HONESTLY+OPENLY.

Machiavellianism needs to be pruned down, now.
