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! :'(

Because it's toxic for the type of brexiteers who objected to the EU because it meant there were more foreigners in the country. Even "worse", these people will mostly be visible minorities.
This is a crucial constituency for the Conservative party.
People were warned in the run up that we'd have to bring in workers from somewhere and if not the EU then probably the commonwealth. I personally wasn't bothered as I feel more kinship with West Indians and Indians than most people in the EU based on my life experience.
Exactly. And let's not also forget the Labour majority in the red wall that voted for Brexit. Equally abhorrent.
