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.

It's a rejection of the magna carta, this and a host of other things this government has done or watched their judiciary do with hidden glee. Locking down the internet, connecting every person to an account in a way lower level government, connected groups, hackers, oligarchs, etc can end up accessing, and otherwise putting everything done or said or looked at through half baked ai threat detection run by the antichrist peter thiel and his ilk, making secret social scores to determine you job prospects, loans, police and court treatment, prices you pay, results your search engines show you.
That is where that is heading. Trying to set up this new technology right up the asses of it's citizenry. England is the birthplace of modern liberty, the first in many respects to throw off censorship and the controls on the press and speech, and other rights outlined in the magna carta. Now it's the first to cancel them. Including cancelling jury trials for up to 3 years in prison, from 1 changed in 2020. Before any crime was decided by a jury, a basic right demanded in that magna carta. Now decided by a magistrate chosen by their old boy legal network.
