UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Posting in UK Politics without even cursory knowledge of British culture is wild. Either way, drinking is engrained in British culture.
It's pretty entertained in USA culture as well. I feel not having any attacks on US soil during the war didn't lend any need for community building endeavors, whether public health, public transport, or public shelter. It's easier to instill greed/fear of lack or fear in general, as well as cynicism and distrust of our neighbors the more separate and divided they can make us. Long hours, low wages and laws designed to protect business rather than workers perpetuate and compound the issues.
And it's wild to think after work drinks are somehow an alien thing. It's a thing pretty much everywhere.
I'm gonna be really pedantic here, but not everywhere.
I'm not posting, I'm commenting.
And Lemmy is much too small to gatekeep communities.
It's not gatekeeping. It's having basic respect to at least post with some basic knowledge of what you're posting on.
The House of Lords isn't a political issue? Trying to force people back into the office to keep the rich wealthy isn't a political issue? Have a word with yourself super hero.
