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.

Labour could not be any more pathetic at this point.
Oh, they could. They could have joined this cluster fuck of a war. The Tories 100% would have. So there's that.
As many see it, the difference in joining and not joining is fuck all.
Every "democracy" appears to be functionally equivalent to capitalist dictatorship. When money owns the majority of the political class, the only difference is the illusion of choice.
The success of each countries corporations and 0.001% is the "national security"; not the lives of the actual population.
I'd like to see landowners, owners of property and owners of physical businesses given a "national security" tax. That's what's really being defended. But you can imagine the squealing they'd do if they were told to put their hands in their pockets.
