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.

Teachers not able to have board pens unless they pay for them out of their own pockets... meanwhile the CEO of the academy chain near us earns £350k a year and has a car with a chauffeur. Some CEOs are earning more that that. There are a lot of "senior leaders" - heads, deputies, assistant heads - earning big money, too. UK education has been utterly ruined since 1988.

It was okay in the 2000s. Not great, but schools generally got by without squeezing parents and teachers. Now? My god, who would want to teach
