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.

How much more proof do we need that this self serving cunt should be shot into the fucking sun?

I am fully cognisant of the required effort to do so. This fuckstick is worth the effort, IMO.

Genuinely think electing the ten worst people from evwry country to be blasted at the sun every year might get people to be less cunts

Cheaper to parachute him into Basra

But doesn't, I feel, portray the same level of "Get fucked, you spherical bastard" that going to the expense and effort of dropping them into the sun does.

Since there'd be enough space in the most "off the shelf" available capsule for more than those two, I'm sure we can find other, worthy individuals to join them. Musk, Thiel and Trump would be the obvious low hanging fruit, but I'm sure we could cram in a few more.
