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! :'(

"to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about"

Who are you going to talk about these issues with, then? A selection of other salad ingredients?

Hey, I've seen this one before

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 3 hours ago

Oh don't worry I'm sure it will be censored.

It will definitely be interesting to watch how this ends up because she doesn't really have the cult following that is required to pull something like this off.

Lettuce see how long that will romaine online.

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.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 9 hours ago

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

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

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 19 points 12 hours ago

Obviously. It's uncensored after all.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 9 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.

@cyrano
That's the best one.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Does anybody actually like her- like anybody at all?

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.

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 16 points 13 hours ago

It will be a hundred percent be censored lol

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 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?

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 4 points 11 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.

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 10 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 13 points 12 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 17 points 14 hours ago

Nazis nazis everywhere

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 10 points 13 hours ago

Probably hasn't heard of the fediverse...

Behold, the power of roubles

[–] mysweat@ani.social 9 points 13 hours ago

Lmao what an idiot.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 6 points 13 hours ago

So is it allowed to post boobs?
