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! :'(

@Noit Britain isn't able to do high-speed rail?
Britain struggles to achieve any project of scale. Just look at our lack of success in building nuclear power stations.
If you think that's bad, wait till you hear about the US... Only one small part that hits 150mph (240km/h) on a 50mi (80km) section. For a country that's got more land area that Europe....
We have one high speed rail link already, HS1. It goes from London to the channel tunnel.
This article is about HS2, that would go north.
@vext01 Perhaps what I mean is that the British are *now* unable to build projects of scale
Maybe not with all the other stuff going on...
