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.

Want really pushes Reforms power is believing that immigrants in some way make it harder for you to find a job. Of course they don't, that's bullshit. Companies like Tesco's are not allowed to hire people who aren't documented, and the thing is, they don't. Literally no one ever has lost their job because a company hired an immigrant at bargain in basement wages, it doesn't happen.
You just believe it happens because you believe Nigel.
If you were going to berate people you really should look up what you're talking about.

What on Earth does that mean?
Yeah bollocks. Immigration has nothing to do with lack of low skilled jobs.
Exported labour is the huge cost. The UK simply not making thing in the UK. Immigration is nothing but distraction.
The whole argument that less available staff increases wages collapse when other nations have lower cost labour.
All reducing staff dose is make the UK as a whole less competitive cost wise. And move even more low skilled jobs to other cheaper nations.
The immigration debate is nothing but a wealthy business owners tactic to stop voters recognising the real problem.
An ironic statement from somebody who is so goddamn stupid but they believe right-wing talking points and then claim I don't like right-wing retric, despite clearly slurping it up.
