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! :'(

Probably worth a watch, and whether you agree with him or not, being aware of the economic situation here at the moment is probably prudent

He’s pretty unbiased, and explains it all really well for those of us with no knowledge of how that world works.

From my, admittedly limited, knowledge of high finance, he seems to know the score and be able to talk about it clearly and without being biased towards it.

Can you explain the link aggregator business once again for the heard of thinking? I’m not sure what you mean, but I’m assuming it’s something I’ve either completely ignored or misunderstood

Like Digg and Reddit, Lemmy is like earlier discussion forum software but set to favour the new post over a new comment and the key is the link, especially on Lemmy. So if I post the same link as someone else has done it will automatically add a link to that post too. It's also why we prefer people post archive links in.the body of the post and the original link as the main one.

How should I have formatted it to achieve this?

When you go to "create post" there is a field labeled "URL", the main link goes in there.
