General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

They want you angry. But not at them.

They want your rage pointed downwards. At the man in the tent, the woman in the food bank queue, the family who fled war on a small boat and arrived here with nothing but a name and hope.

All the while, the people actually bleeding us dry glide through Cardiff Bay on yachts, untouched and unbothered.

Let’s be crystal clear here. Wales is not in poverty because of migrants, and it’s not broken because of refugees. The enemy doesn’t come on a dinghy, it arrives in yachts, it’s in a boardroom, a mansion, or a private jet.

And in Wales, that theft is happening in plain sight.

Note: I am the author of this piece, constructive criticism and feedback is welcomed!
