Aren't you afraid of USA bombings for such uncapitalistic behaviour?

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.

Yes.
I'm not convinced that the current US administration even knows where the UK is. They'll probably bomb Island by mistake.
Which Island you thinking?
Tracy Island.
F.A.B
Paedo Island ...
This "slap on the wrist" handling of it is way too lenient and can only apply to people who accidentally underpay workers. If you can somehow prove that an employer does it on purpose or rejects a person's claim for their salary they should be held accountable and be put in the same category as stealing a car with up to 4 years imprisonment.
If you only make employers pay a fine and backpay to whoever requests it might be less than the amount they stole. This way optimal business strategy become "get insured for it and continue".
So, all employers? Surplus value is wage theft by definition.
They aren't already?
