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! :'(

Predictably it’s the 15-minute-city conspiracy crap.
The inside of the right-wing brain must be a fearful place; ripe for radicalisation and manipulation.
This annoyed me so much.
I live in a city that is, effectively, 15 minute accessible. It's fucking awesome.
And because of the way the roads are laid out, yes, anything within 15 mins walk is going to be quicker to walk to than drive to...Which is probably how it should be.
I honestly wonder who was pushing this nonsense. People who don't want to walk to the shops?
It's very weird. I would have thought walking would feel more free than being stuck in traffic all day.
