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 a bit late for some of the victims of this though, isn't it?
I remember hearing about the Horizon scandal a few years ago on some podcast. At the time, obviously, there was no justice for anybody who had been wronged. I believe at least one ex-postmaster committed suicide over it.
Sod the award. Overturning these convictions isn't going to undo the mental and physical toll this has taken on these innocent people. Every one of the executives who covered this up has blood on their hands. The rich never, ever face consequences for anything they do, no matter how cruel.
