A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So the Tories sound a lot like the Republicans. Am I off base here?
the Tories are far right conservatives so you pretty much hit the mark
Telling poor people to fuck off… refusing to be held accountable for terrible behavior… it seemed like deja vu.
Still not as far right as the US Republicans.
Eh. Rishi would fit right in. He's even giving trabsphobic rants and ejecting audience members a go.
They're largely the same although most Tories would never refer to themselves as republicans...
Rishi is an actual piece of shit.
Telling hungry families to F themselves is very disgusting. Wow.
Oh they also actively kill people off with policy too.
They run our welfare service in a way that dehumanises the recipients, you often read of disabled people getting their benefits cut off and pretty much dying within a couple of weeks because they can no longer afford food.
It's been like this for over a decade.
Oh and let's not go into all the indirect hardship and death caused by repeated economic suicides (austerity, Brexit, that week they decided to actually try and implement right wing libertarianism and burned nearly £30bn from our treasury in a few days)
Fuck the Tories.
His biggest accomplishment is marrying a billionaire heiress
As first reported by the Daily Mirror, in 2020 he posted a hand drawn flow diagram on Facebook.
He's a wanker and all, but this specific "article" very much has an agenda to anger people. This shit is old.
Anger sells.
