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 never going to be a law because it'll be binned a year from now with a quarter of a billion quid and rising down the drain.
It's such a pointless policy they wasted so much money and time on it and it won't ever work, and even if it did pass no one will care because it'll deport all of 30 people by the time it's finished.
The trouble is they've lost sight of the fact that this was only ever supposed to be a vote winner and never a solution to a real problem. The Tories created the problem they're absolutely not going to fix it.
