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! :'(

She's taken a leaf out of Musks book.

Finally a place where hard Marxists can openly call for overthrowing the government and killing the bourgeoisie without being censored. Right?

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 24 points 2 weeks ago

Obviously. It's uncensored after all.

[–] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's illegal to run an uncensored social media network in the UK so I'm intrigued what she actually means. Probably similar to Musk's idea of free speech

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh don't worry I'm sure it will be censored.

It will definitely be interesting to watch how this ends up because she doesn't really have the cult following that is required to pull something like this off.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

oh she has a cult following all right.

just not one that wishes her well

This woman has a humiliation fetish, doesn't she?

Truss made the revelation at a cryptocurrency conference in Bedford over the weekend.

Seems like it.

If hell is real it'll be a neverending cryptocurrency conference.

Uncensored social media has always devolved into shit. Every online MMO ever has experience with it. Chat moderation is important or you end up with spam and bots, and nazis everywhere.

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 20 points 2 weeks ago

It will be a hundred percent be censored lol

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Read uncensored as "we get to pick what we allow." And people will cheer when "libtards" are censored, like it's some victory.

They just need to admit they want a safe space and be done with it.

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

How many un-federated free speech micro-blogging sites can the market support? I'm surprised Truth Social is still going now Twitter will let anyone pay these days. Are Parler and Gab even profitable?

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Nazis nazis everywhere

"to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about"

Who are you going to talk about these issues with, then? A selection of other salad ingredients?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't wanna talk about... like the horrible damage she did the country maybe?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would love to talk to her about that :)

So she's not just joining Truth Social? I'm surprised.

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago

Well the biggest part of Truth social was laundering money 'indirectly' by having bribes be 'investments'. She can't profit off of Truth social.

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago

The 4chan source code got leaked. Maybe she can use that!

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does anybody actually like her- like anybody at all?

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I want the cute Liz Truss back, the one that announced with a slightly shy and awkward grin that she was opening new pork markets in China. I don't like Evil Truss, that started out by murdering QE2 then tried to do the same to the UK economy.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 week ago

Sorry, but her daddy/Master has always been conservative overlords.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 10 points 2 weeks ago

Probably hasn't heard of the fediverse...

[–] mysweat@ani.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Lmao what an idiot.

As the Friday Night Comedy podcast would have it:

I knoooooow

[–] Commiunism@beehaw.org 7 points 1 week ago

Hey, I've seen this one before

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Will it be made of cheese?

[–] SleafordMod@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

It better not be imported cheese. That would be a disgrace.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

So is it allowed to post boobs?

She made an absolute mess as a PM so why should we trust her with a social network?

god she's a genuine ghoul and I can't wait to stop hearing about her.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 2 weeks ago

Following in the footsteps of former Tory MP turned right-wing grifter Louise Mensch. Her one of these, named Menshn (IIRC), lasted a year or two before it was shut down due to lack of interest.
