General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.

What's he going to do if he actually gets voted into office? He can't keep committing to the bit in that situation can he?
He's actually got good views, I honestly think he'd make a decent politician.
Kind of seems like. Just heard it didn't pan out but apparently the guy he was protesting is being investigated as a result of getting his seat back?
Yes, we wanted his corrupt ass to win so the investigation into his corruption can proceed.
Literally anything is better than what that wankstain has done. But IIRC he has said a little while back he would actually go listen to people in Clackton and then represent their needs in parliament.
Okay. I think I must have sounded like I doubted his sincerity or commitment. I don't, I just didn't think he was actually planning at all for the possibility of winning. Given from what I've heard of the situation that actually sounds pretty nice
His commitment is to the satire, not to the idea of having to be an MP.
Unfortunately you can't wear hats or armour in parliament
He can take the lid off and say its a very big collar
Uhh I call bullshit. What kind of UK institution bars noblemen from donning their battle regalia in office?

Actually fascinating. Thank you for educating me
His videos refer to a book by the British politician who originally got elected as a joke, but went on to seriously be one of the most effective MPs. See Columbia, the white elephant costume comes off.
