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! :'(

Is it... Nigel Farage?

He's still pretending to pretend that he's merely hard right.

This guy is openly and avowedly fascist, and probably thinks Farage is a filthy liberal, albeit a very useful one.

He's not mentioned of being one of them; just all the people around him. I figure he types in the address by hand to check in.

Closet racists friends with open racists shocker! Film at eleven! Now here's a word from our sponsors...

I kinda lazily assumed that they were largely borderline Nazis, turns out quite a few are actual fascists.

With the candidate in question being Ian Gribbin. Of course he "apologized" for this, which translated from conservative means "I'm sorry I got caught." He's also said that women are the "sponging gender" and should be "deprived of health care" in case there was any doubt about what sort of a person he is.

Naturally other Reform cockwombles have defended him
