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! :'(

the proper way to watch youtube chat is to click on the x.

Ha! Ok that got a serious laugh from me.

But honestly, other YouTube live streams I've watched have actually had really great chats. Lots of fun discussion with other chatters or between chat and the streamer. I wouldn't expect a news org to be engaging with the chat themselves, but I would have hoped that chat could talk amongst themselves in a civil manner. I'm kinda disappointed how they're not.
