    Political entities have been pulling at the strings of these conspiracy groups for some time. ULEZ is just the latest target, before it was protests against 15 minute cities.

    As (or maybe if) COVID fades into the background I expect more and more will be tacked on to the plans of the “global elites” to keep these groups engaged. All the while dragging political debate in general further into the mud.

    Is the name Stop ULEZ Coalition (SUC) supposed to be funny or are they all idiots? Lawrence Fox is mixed up in this, which, I suspect, answers my question.

    It’s a weird coalition. Piers Corbyn has been protesting against ULEZ (naturally).

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.
