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.

Why then do they all invariably give such a definite date rather than something like "next five years" or "next decade" or even other dates like "2028/2030/2031/2032"? Somewhere a decision has been made about this date. (Historically, we know that World War One, for instance, was actively planned and prepared for for a number of years before it happened.)
I don't think there is a plan to have a war, what would be the point? We have nukes now, it would be a plan for everyone to die.
Who knows? Drone war? Robots fighting? Wag the Dog-style fake war? Billionaires have built some deep bunkers in remote parts of the world.
