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! :'(

It's probably because they don't pay enough.
People with the qualifications/experience don't want to work in central London for £35k.
Which means you only get people who really want to join GCHQ etc. for different reasons.
Add to that. Distrust in government by younger citizens. So much recent news about current and past UK wrongs.
I'm surprised any younger recruits exist.
There are always the hardcote bootlickers but yeah gen pop no longer views these regime whores anything respectable.
US is experiencing similar thing too. Within 30 years alphabet boys really ruined their reputation to where main stream just plains doesn't trust them.
Just government sanctioned thugs.
That's rather depressing, I didn't know souls were so cheap.
