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! :'(

Why don't we just get illegal migrants to do paid community service? We could employ them for two years on a living salary to provide service to the UK public, fund compulsory English lessons for those who don't speak it already, and at the end of the two years they get a national insurance number and the right to live and work here without fear. After two years it would turn illegal migrants into settled, productive, integrated members of our society - dependant on neither the state nor the black economy - and would work out well over £100k a head cheaper than the Tories' crazy plans.
