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.

In the UK, you should not take pictures or videos of someone without their permission. This includes taking pictures or videos in public places like streets or parks

5th most CCTV cameras per capita than anywhere else in the world says what?

Only your corporate oligarch overlords are allowed to surveil, peasant!

There's little the authorities hate more than sousveillance

Its wild, meta style glasses (explicitly not run by meta) could be such a boon. Police don't wear body cams, that's no matter, every other member of the public is wearing a body cam to record your abuse.

But, like everything it'll be a reflection of the society they find themselves: harvest data from the proles and harass women.

I'd wear a meta style frame (again explicitly not run by meta, probably locally) as a personal dash cam. But I don't want to be associated with meta or perverts.
