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.

fight back against the "left wing extremists" she claims have taken over Britain's institutions.

She is either cynical and pandering to extremists or fully detached from reality herself.

[Mogg] declared the death of "Davos man" - members of the global and political elite who descend on a Swiss ski resort every year for a global economic forum.

Ah, yes the famously left-wing extremists of ... the World Economic Forum.

you got to wonder how far right she actually is to consider Britain is run by left wing "extremists".

Thats assuming she knows what any of those 3 words mean.

Hello, and welcome to conservatism. They'll make whatever mouth noises sound like justification for whatever they want, next. Disprove their argument and they'll pick a new one. It has no relation to their conclusion. They don't understand why it should.

They do not evaluate claims. In their worldview, that is not what claims are for. You simply accept or reject them based on interpersonal trust. That is how you perform ingroup loyalty.

And I say "you" because they think you're doing the same thing. They think that's all there is.

There is nothing else in their moral universe.

When you are that far to the right, everything looks leftist. They can't see the centre where it is because it looks so far left to them.
