There’s a tendency for articles from The Guardian to be shared here; here’s something from the Telegraph instead.

While I agree with some aspects of this opinion piece there are some segments that irk me. So it goes.

Ironically I left the UK years ago and the news in my current country is saying to bail from here too because everything’s going to shit. I think it’s just everywhere.

Much of that stagnation is because of the Tories running the country into the ground and gifting us the disaster of Brexit. Which the Shittigraph cheerled all the way.

If you’re the demographic that doesn’t vote Tory, it’s time to jump ship – get out of Britain before the election

That’s how I read it. But what they seam to have forgotten is such people don’t read the Torygraph.

Mixed feelings about this .

People who don’t see the telegraph, need to know to how poisonous it is, and how detached they aren’t their readership are from reality.

On the other hand, to see how triggered we are by it, suggests we are still vulnerable.

every single word, of every single sentence, on every single page is to advance an agenda. We might not immediately know which, or whose, but it is committed to enabling hard right politics

This country is damaged, but not beyond repair. All kinds of people, from all over the world still want to come here. Remember that, and try not be poisoned by constantly consuming messages from the ruling class, that help them stay in power .

The part that pisses me off the most is that, for his audience, this is sage advice: go where the money is. Community and family roots mean nothing. Tories have sucked this place dry, and need to migrate to a new host. All we can hope is that the new host puts them on barges or something.

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! :'(
