General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

Granted this is to a crowd of Torries but what a load of tosh it is.

Lol. None of them have that. The videos coming out of the conference are appalling. There was a video of a Tory member being escorted out of Cruella's homophobic and transphobic speech for calling it homophobic, while she says, "Those who fail to conform are persecuted."

Yeah, the watered down rivers of blood speech seems to have gone unchallenged as the disgusting racist witterings of a goblin that it was.

I love that she took time to throw her own parents to the wolves to justify her racism too. What a horror movie of a human being.

I watched a speech she gave to some American Conservative group. She was pretty much referencing 'Great Replacement Theory'. The future she wants will endanger her own family.

Rishi just made a massive transphobic statement. At this point I'm not even sure they're actually creating culture war or if they are genuinely this evil.

Don’t ask if they’re evil or creating culture war. It’s the same thing. Culture war was a means by which my country sanitized and later exported responding to calls for equality with militaristic response. This isn’t a war, woke doesn’t threaten anyone inherently. The evil people want to frame it in their terms, don’t let them, it won’t go well.

Cruella said in her speech, if Starmer gets in, Britain will go proper woke!

FFS!

Oh no, not that radical left extremist, Keir Starmer!

I heard he isn't going to demonise hardly anyone. The horror.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

There's more integrity in a wet cardboard roof

I really don't like this thing about spouses giving speeches. I mean, what does it actually achieve?

He’s being very honest about his desire to be more evil than thatcher.
