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! :'(

The terms will be whatever eu says, will the uk be okay with that? They shit the bed on brexit.
The pound is not just a currency, it’s a symbol of British sovereignty and independence. Will the UK be willing to trade the queen’s face on their banknotes for Euro symbols?
Cash is just so inconvenient. Sure, it’s not so bad when you’re just dealing with notes, but as soon as you add coins it goes downhill fast.
That being said, I do get that cash makes it easier to think twice about purchases as you’re not just tapping your card like it’s a bongo drum.
I stopped using cash at the pub when our usual round started costing a non-integer number of pounds. Just don't want to deal with the shrapnel.
It's still necessary in lots of places though, for example village fetes etc where there are no reliable contactless systems. I've been to events where they have card readers paired with phones but the local masts get overwhelmed with the number of people and the phones can't get a signal, even when they have brought in mobile masts for the occasion. So unfortunately you still need cash.
I mean Sweden joined in the 90s and still has their krona
It'll be the King's face by then.
