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! :'(

Badenoch was born Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke at a private hospital in Wimbledon in 1980. Her mother travelled to the UK to give birth which gave Badenoch automatic British citizenship, a policy which was abolished the following year. Soon after the birth, mother, father and daughter returned to Lagos, Nigeria, where the family was based.

She can go eff herself.

before the British Nationality Act 1981 abolished automatic birthright citizenship

She was born in 1980. One year later and she wouldn't even be a fucking citizen herself.
