UK Politics
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! :'(
This isn't a simple thing as you are implying though. That's the point I'm making. Your "solutions" are more like wishes in an ideal world. They aren't workable and would add massively to the overstretched resources.
These are the exceptions. What do you think I mean when I say the social contract? Why would you live and pay into a society.... and by pay that could be taxes if you can afford them or in other ways if not.... if you get nothing out of it? The government is just seizing your money for what? And you suggest to just band or ostracise people at a whim? Again, unworkable.
Imagine being told that you're not allowed to vote because you don't think the same way as someone else. Madness. Absolute madness.
You are bloody ignorant.
