So.... not compulsory then? Or do you just get fined or something? Anyway, earliest policy U-turn of the Conservative campaign so far - will it be their best?

Yep. If a fine doesn't scale with wealth, then it's just a fee for doing illegal shit.

I don't have the skills.

But now really wish someone would hack a few tory social media accounts. And post claims the fine will be based on the family wealth of the avoider

Tory voters would suffer mass heart attacks when they calculate what it will cost to free their Tarquins.

Wouldn't even have to hack any accounts, just start claiming that's what they're going to do. It's not like conservatives ever check sources

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! :'(
