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! :'(

Seems to me to be part of a wider-scale agenda to separate the rich and the poor in this country. Where I live development is concentrated in the town, cramming it full of more and more housing and multiple-occupied households. More and more people. Around us - where the rural rich live - it's almost undeveloped and, whenever a plan to build in the country is proposed it's shut down quite quickly (by what seem to be lobby groups).
Now the rural rich, sitting in their country houses, don't even want us commoners accessing the land. What we need in this country is a little land redistribution and more of the countryside taken into national ownership.
