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! :'(

I want the cute Liz Truss back, the one that announced with a slightly shy and awkward grin that she was opening new pork markets in China. I don't like Evil Truss, that started out by murdering QE2 then tried to do the same to the UK economy.

Sorry, but her daddy/Master has always been conservative overlords.

It's illegal to run an uncensored social media network in the UK so I'm intrigued what she actually means. Probably similar to Musk's idea of free speech

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 3 points 3 hours ago

Following in the footsteps of former Tory MP turned right-wing grifter Louise Mensch. Her one of these, named Menshn (IIRC), lasted a year or two before it was shut down due to lack of interest.

Finally a place where hard Marxists can openly call for overthrowing the government and killing the bourgeoisie without being censored. Right?

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 16 points 6 hours ago

Obviously. It's uncensored after all.

Lettuce see how long that will romaine online.

god she's a genuine ghoul and I can't wait to stop hearing about her.

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 7 points 6 hours ago

The 4chan source code got leaked. Maybe she can use that!

@cyrano
That's the best one.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Does anybody actually like her- like anybody at all?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Uncensored social media has always devolved into shit. Every online MMO ever has experience with it. Chat moderation is important or you end up with spam and bots, and nazis everywhere.

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

How many un-federated free speech micro-blogging sites can the market support? I'm surprised Truth Social is still going now Twitter will let anyone pay these days. Are Parler and Gab even profitable?

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 14 points 8 hours ago

It will be a hundred percent be censored lol

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Read uncensored as "we get to pick what we allow." And people will cheer when "libtards" are censored, like it's some victory.

They just need to admit they want a safe space and be done with it.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

So she's not just joining Truth Social? I'm surprised.

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 11 points 7 hours ago

Well the biggest part of Truth social was laundering money 'indirectly' by having bribes be 'investments'. She can't profit off of Truth social.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

Nazis nazis everywhere

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 8 hours ago

Probably hasn't heard of the fediverse...

[–] mysweat@ani.social 6 points 8 hours ago

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 hours ago
