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! :'(

If you had a case at all, you'd attack the facts, not the source.
If you have to use a conservative corpo source then I have barely any other choice than that. But you continue your capitalistic propaganda shit.
It doesn't matter who says 'This Green politician opposes solar farms' because this Green politician does oppose solar farms. Ranting about capitalist propaganda does not change the facts
It does, especially when you project your claim onto the entire party.
No amount of ranting can change the facts.
I am not projecting. As I said, it's part of a pattern of behaviour, as demonstrated by the Greens co-leader's opposition to pylons and by their official opposition to HS2. Here are some more examples, although to be honest, I'm not sure how many more you need to accept that the Greens consistently do this: siding with nimbys over the environment is a deliberate electoral strategy for them.
