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! :'(

Of course it isnt 100% but I know my parents gave up because it got too expensive. That's also why the money raised should be funnelled into intervention programs.
Oh I absolutely agree the funding should pat for the NHS.
More on topic recently they raised the smoking age to 18 (I think it was scotland only though) I did find it cruel that they made some legal smokers suddenly illegal for 2 yrs more.
At least that is the same law applying to everyone instead of creating some kind of two tier system where certain adults have rights that others don't.
