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! :'(

They should have asked someone who wasn't also deluded. Blair prayed to god over Iraq, and said that god made the decision to go to war as well as him.

Lesson learned, surely the Americans won't elect a complete nutjob ever again after this?

And us, can we with any certainty claim the same?

A bit late on the advice, don't you think?

Blair is also a power/money hungry Bible thumper.

Just to be clear, he was (and is) a sanctimonious twat, but he's not a fundie (which is what Bible-thumper generally connotes), he converted to Catholicism. His obnoxious wife Cherie is a life-long Catholic.
