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! :'(

Let's not do the racist bit...
I can be just as ridiculous and say "god another white guy. All they do is colonize and propagte an imperialist attitude. They topple governments for their own wealth and the wealth of their cronies. It's the same story again and again and again throughout history, White Western Man uses force of government to enrich himself at the expense of an entire country of people. We have the same problem with white people in the US!"
(I'm white by the way lol not that it makes racism correct.)
Bro stop generalizing. I am white and I am poor. Can you call then out with their nationality. Like Musk is south African etc..
I was talking about racism being ridiculous and using an example made specifically to be ridiculous. I don't actually hold what I said to be a real truth.
People do shitty things, white, black, Australian to Japanese, it doesn't matter. People are shitty, not whole races/nationalities.
Whites are native from that land. In your idea of feeling superior youll ignore corruption and evilness. Look how much you criticize your PM in your comment. May God help your country if that's the quality of men the UK has now, preoccupied in keeping a facade to receive moral applauses.
I think you completely missed the point of my comment.
It was simply to state racism is ridiculous.
Indian people are not a problem just as white people aren't a problem. PEOPLE are a problem when they're lead by greed and selfishness. An Indian person can be as much of a shithead as any white guy, African guy, whatever. It's individuals, not whole races.
You saying Caucasians are native to the US? Lmao
That would be the Mexicans and Africans you kept as slaves, dear.
TIL the Brits who colonized Africa, India and hordes of other nations were actually natives
Follow your leader.
