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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I guess "government getting 340 million more from monarchy this year" doesn't have quite the same ring to it
It would have been even worse had there been no king, if it was given to the conservatives to control. Instead of renewables, it would have probably gone to fracking
Liberalists cry into their guano coffee. "Nooo! You're not supposed to do that!"
But honestly, if a European monarchy has not become self sustaining by this point, they should be dissolved, but goddamn they be raking in the money.
Also, the nordic monarchies do more as philanthropists than most billionaires and they focus on cultural preservation.
The American brain cannot comprehend.
