If it’s just to make them look silly and not liked, but not actually hurt.

If someone stabbed Farage, he’d make such hay of it. I’d half expect him to have arranged it! Wouldn’t surprise me if he arranged the odd milkshake too, to keep him in the news.

Oh no, making hay. That totally cancels out getting stabbed.

Sick to death of this nothing-works attitude. Yeah - there is no course of action that fascists won’t claim proves them right. Stop listening to fascist claims. They lie. They’re fascists. That’s their schtick. But in the same way as deplatformed cranks shouting ‘I was cancelled!’ to an empty room, and spanked children insisting ‘that didn’t hurt!,’ sometimes you can ignore the words coming out of their stupid mouths.

We don’t have to give them a platform. Not quite the same as deplatforming. Farage is given way to much platform for the votes he gets.

Create post

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! :'(
