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.

This seems to be mostly about the T in LGBT which has become such a toxic political football the politicians are running away and deferring to anyone else to avoid enacting policy themselves.

The supreme court judgement is only an interpretation of existing law, anything can be overturned with new legislation. Instead they sat back and let the EHCR commission issue unworkable guidance on who can use what loos.

I know the Cass review was controversial but it called for puberty blockers too be issued as part of medical trials with appropriate long term follow up. Somehow we got from that to indefinite bans of their use.

Meanwhile the widening gulf between the louder parts of the two sides of the debate have left a large chunk of the population fearful of even engaging in the discourse lest they be accused of wrong-think.

The whole thing is a mess.
