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! :'(

"UK government seeks to endanger the lives of children, cyclists and pedestrians, encourage the destruction of the planet and ruin the lives of hundreds of thousands of bus commuters, and damage thousands of businesses which rely on public transport for staff, to appease handful of loud angry little pink-faced men in giant fat cars"
Agree with your sentiment but not every driver is a white man.
The ltn protests are a bit red faced white man heavy.
This is very true, but I don't think the government is too concerned about appeasing non-white non-male drivers to the same extent.
