    I’m not British, so I should get involved in British Politics. But privatizing water was a mistake of epic proportions. Keir Starmer needs to have some guts and nationalize it. Enough is enough.

    The trash media (The Sun, Daily Hate Mail) talks about poor people stealing welfare, while corporate financiers stole BILLIONS OF POUNDS from you and your families:

    Who privatized water? Thatcher.

    After her time in government, she became a lobbyist for tobacco companies:

    It says it all, doesn’t it?

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.
