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! :'(

You're right. We should start throwing things at people we dislike.
I'm sure that will work. ๐
You make a good point, throughout history there have been many times where change began or could only be achieved through direct protest action, not by elections and votes alone.
So long as it's harmless and raises awareness for how evil and hated by the people of the nation certain groups or individuals are, throwing milkshake, rotten tomatoes and the like, are an excellent idea.
You're right, throwing food is not enough and kind of a waste.
Wheel out the guillotines.
I've looked on Amazon and Ebay and can't even find tumbrils. I'm a bit stuck, here. Plenty of supplies for the tricoteuses on Etsy, at least.
