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! :'(

MODERATORS
That is good you’re recognizing the situation as the divide and conquer strategy as it is.
Trans rights are humans rights. If the Tories can continue to strip away at ours they will come for everyone’s eventually.
Also by supporting trans people you’re advocating for increased freedom of personal expression.
For sure; that's why it pisses me off so much. At least with traditional bogeymen like Putin/Covid/inflation/Bin Laden etc it's a plausible 'other'. Trans people are UK citizens and we drink with them at the pub. It's literally an attack on our own cohort, to our own detriment.
