United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.

But he does need to persuade the chunk of the population that are indifferent to the plight of migrants, or who believe that cruelty is an effective tool, or who embrace cruelty for itself, to also reject this proposal. He won't want to draw their attention to the awfulness of the idea, as this group will be disinterested at best.
Without them on board, it will be considerably harder to force the Tories to back down, and though Labour will win the next election and can end any measure then, that still leaves time for tens of thousands of people to be forcibly removed to Rwanda.
