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! :'(

Something broke in his brain a few years back over trans issues, and he alienated everyone from his fellow writers, comedy actors and fans and just kept doubling down to the point no one wants he other than the worse elements of the nasty party.

Yes, he fell down a conspiracy rabbit hole when the only people who'd give him the time of day were the Terrible People. Appearing at a Tory conference is a clear sign how far he has fallen.

It's all very sad as he's one of my favourite comedy writers of recent years.
