UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I think this post just made me realise how fucking stupid the censoring is on lemmy.ml. it removed the word f.a.g.
I really hate swear censors. They're sucking fupid.
American censorship is the worst! Let us have our quaint british expressions for discussing cigarettes
Unfortunately, on general instances they aren't going to allow it and rightly so as it stops a lot of abuse.
Was being a bit tongue in cheek there. It makes sense as a practicality of keeping the discourse civil.
We do have language filters here but, because if the divergence of the English language, we allow for British English usage like "fags" for cigarettes, "faggots" for the delicious food (also bundles of wood but that doesn't come up often) and "cunt" or the Scottish would get half their messages censored. However, with great powers comes great responsibility, so we expect people not to take the piss. Also "piss" is allowed.
